JOHNSgN'S NAME In GRAFT
SCANDAL AROUSES HIS IRE

NEW YORK. Special Before
the aldermanic graft commission
assembled to continue its
investigation into the police de-
partment, n. j. johnson, former
public official and assistant man.
agcr of Mayor Gaynor's campaign,
whose name has been dragged
into the scandal, threatened TO
sue Police Commissioners Waldo
for libel, and demanded that he
be called as a witness before the
committee.
johnson was one of the names
mentioned i'm an affidavit made by
Police Captain John Il. Reith, OF
the MacDOugaI Street station,
who swears he could have bought
a captaincy four years ago for
$4,000.
Johnson also threatens 10 sue
Reith, and from his hectic threats
he intends to get both justice and
other kinds OF satisfaction.
&c was this affidavit which
waldo promised TO put before
the commission today, although
at the time the alleged offer was
made to Reith, Theodore Bling
ham was commissioners of police.
johnson alleged that the Reith
story is simply back fire." de-
signed TO discredit him as a wit
ness before the committee.
An important point, in Y w OF
the charges made againS= him
which Emery X. Bucl1ner, counsel
Tor the committee, said he would
try TO clear up today is where.
when and why the affidavit was
made by Reith.
Rcith was promoted from a
lieutenant in May, 1911.
Members of the committee to-
day expressed a determination to
get all the facts, if possible.
Everybody mentioned in cOnncc-
ton with the affair will be sub
pOenaed, il was said.
Thus Tar Captain Reith's affi-
davit is uncorroboratcd.
Rcith states that he did not
pay the sum demanded of him
and was passed for promotion.
although he stood at the top of
the eligible list of Iieutenants
prepared for the civil service
commission.
According TO Reith, it was
johnson who first approached
him with the offer. although the
police officer got the impression
that johnson represented others.
Long before the doors of the
Supreme Court building were
opened "A mob had gathered in
hope OF getting u glimpse of
"Gyp the Blood and Lefty
Louie" the two gunner accused
OF actual participation i'm the
murder of Herman ROsenthal,
who were summoned before jus
tice Corr 10 plead.
Former Magistrate WahIe, cOun-
sci for the accused gangSters,
said he would be able TO produce
evidence at the proper time to
prove an alibi for his clients.
Neither one of those boys was
near the MetrOpoIe Hotel at the
time when ROsenthaI was killed."
said Mr.. Wahle.

Whitman and agents for Charles
A. Becker, the accused police Of
ficial, are seeking evidence, said
that the taking OF dispositions
would begin upon the arrival OF
Attorney Hart, OF counsel for
Becker, who was expected 10 ar
rive some time today.
Lawyers for Becker, Sam
Schepps, the alleged murder pay
master, and others who are un-

murder, seem satisfied with the
