Il have paid money to every squad
that was ever detailed to headquarters

Costigan was referred to during the
first investigation of the Rosenthal
case as the honest policeman"
In return for this protection money
Purcell said. the police generally let
him alone. When they had to act or
complaints from the outside, they
tipped him off, he declared. He al
ways moved to another house wher
thus informed. For a while, he moved
every day.
Once he defed the police. For nine
months, when he had Jack McAuliffe

partner, they ran gambling house
on the upper East Side without max
ing the weekly payments to collectors
The police stationed two men at the
door of his establishment. he declared
to warn all customers that it was a

said. IF the two policemen forgot to
talk or talked nice, he gave them S.

got no money. They generally talked
