To NAME MANY
POLICE CROOKS
Head of New York Detective De.
partment Before Grand
Jury.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-Investigation
Of the "crime wave alleged to be due
to police inefficiency reached an impor-
tant stage today with the expected ap-
pearance before the grand jury of Sec
'ond Deputy Police Commissioners Flynn.
Mr.. Flynn resigned his Office recently.
his resignation to take effect May l.
1t is believed that he will be asked
to verify for the grand jury a state
ment he had been quoted as making
that he. got out because men he knew
to be crooked had been retained 'in
the department and in authority"
Commissioner Flynn. in explaining
his resignation. is quoted as saying:
Men in big jobs whom I knew to be
crooks and whom l had branded as
such were permitted to remain in the
department and in authority. l either
had to submit to the conditions as they
were or get out. and I am getting out"
Additional reasons have been variously
resignation, as follows:
Promises made to him by the mayor
when he was appointed were not kept.
An attempt had been made to saddle
upon him the responsibility for the re-
cent crime wave"
Given DistastefuI Work..
He was taken away from the job of
dealing with actual criminals and
a -. ho,a uo1 20 rrah around
the city with an ak and a hydraulic
jack raiding gambling houses when the
mayor knew that his work was dis
tasteful to him.
He was betrayed by s~ubordinates In
his own department.
He was harried by politicians who
were backed by Commissioner Cropsey
and his friend, Chamberlain Hyde.
He was prevented from r~eorganizing
the detective bureau on lines of his own
and piles of routine work were put
upon him when he felt he oAght to be
busy catching criminals.
He was shunted off every important
undertaking. including the ''black-
hand" crusade, before he had completed
his work.
He was compelled to supervise the
work of the repair department when
a less important official might have
done the work just as we'll.
The grand jury will probably devote
most of it's energies to finding out the
m of those who are in the crooked
layout in the department as well as
the names of those who were infiuen-
tial in attempting to shield certain
gambling interests.
