Plaintiff and District Attorney.

"Thirteenth-The District Attorney OF
New York at once undertook vigorously
to ascertain who were criminally respon-
sible for said murder and soon had Sc
cured convincing proofs that II was insti-
gated and brought about by lieutenant
Of police. at the head OF one of the said
Central Office Squads Of the plaintiff. as
Commissioner Of Police. the said Charles
Becker, and that his motive in bringing
about said murder was TO cover UP and
prevent further exposure, by said Rosen-
thai and others. OF his corrupt transac-
tons with gamblers and the proprietors
Of gambling houses.
'Fourteenth-The plaintiff. as such
Commissioner Of Police, was in posses
sion of the most adequate and powerful
facilities TO render great public service by
aiding the District Attorney in the ardu-
Gus undertaking Of finding out and bring
ing to punishment the perpetrators of said
crime. 1t was also the solemn obligation
and duty OF the plaintiff, as such official.
10 furnish such aid. He did not do so.
On the contrary, he so conducted himself
as to give to the public generally and
TO the members OF the police force under
him reasonable cause to believe that be-
cause Of petty official jealousy, or per-
sonal vanity, or consciousness Of weakness
and incapacity displayed in COPING with
the difficulties OF his official task. or he.
cause of combination OF these and other
reasons, he did not sincerely desire to see
the District Attorney successful in Sc
curing evidence Of the corruption that
existed in said Police Department and in
bringing to punishment perpetrators of
said crimes. The plaintiff even sneered
publicly at said official efforts Of said Dis
