in a house with the proprietor's knoWi-
edge and consent. We had to send men
again IN again to these houses, and
had to spend money in this way to get
evidence hat the law vas habitually
violated.
THE second item does not imply the
violation of the law on the part of the
detectives. We have an affidavit from
each man that In no case did he vio-
late the law himself in securing disor-
derby house convictions. But the ex-
penditure of the money was absolutely
necessary to get the evidence.
THE item of $4S, losses on cards and
horses represents money that the de-
tectives bet on games and on races in
~pool-rooms, gambling houses and to
handbook men. The detectives went up
and made wagers the same as other
patrons, but they did not from prefer
ence, but because they had orders from
me to do so, and because they a to
do so to get the evidence. A large part
of this s4S was spent in getting evidence
against George MacLaren at 105 Plane
street, whose place was closed up last
summer.
''The fourth item is self-explanatory,
and brings the total of the expenses of
the detectives to 1882 4.
THE us operatives means that 775
working d, VS., at IS a day. were spent
by Cosgrove's men in working on these
cases. The term Operations is erro-
neous; on the bill 1t is 'oper.' which is
intended to mean operative.
''Now, / am not asking anyone to
take my unsupported word that the
work could only be done by this means.
The late chief of police, John Adams.
testified before the police commission
that there was no other way to do it;
Chandler w. Riker said the anne
thing. I consulted many times with
the late Prosecutor Young before TAX
ing the step, as l was 10th to establish
the precedent, and he agreed that only
in this manner could the city be
cleaned.
"If my own men had been assigned to
these cases." continued the sheriff,
their work would have been much
more difficult, and, be; 'des, the county
would have paid them $3.5 a day extra
and heir penses."
