Dougherty Breaks Police
Silence on Wire Tapping
Graft Exposures.
POINTS TO ARRESTS
MADE BY HIS MEN
Asserts Cohen and Riley Were
Never Detailed by Him
on Cases.

The well-esta blished traditions of
silence in times of stress at Police
Headquarters were shattered yester-
dav. when George S. Dougherty, Sec
end Deputy Police Commissioner, issued
a formal statement in reply to the
charges now before District Attorney
Whitman that certain members of the
uniformed and civilian force there had
taken regular tribute from the wire
tappers in return for protection in
their nefarious methods of money
making.
The Dougherty statement was the
first break in the silence in regard TO
these charges that has reigned since
they were first made public 1t was
in the form Of a typewriter history of
the activities of Doughertys men
against the easy money" operators.
Even when the department was pass
ing through the earthquake caused by
the Becker exposures the precedent Of
silence was maintained, and no state
ment was issued at headquarters.
Dougherty's statement was particu-
larly noteworthy in that il contained
an implied defence of one of the men
said TO have been named in the infor-
nation given Mr.. Whitman, although
no official investigation Of the charges
has yet been made at headquarters
There was another significant impi-
cation in the statement This was that
"Ar' Cohen, the former Central Office
detective who told the tale of alleged
graft 10 Mr.. Whitman, might have had
a reason for his action in that he was
transferred out of the Detective Bu-
reau at Doughertys request. on this
point the statement said;
Referring 10 the statements alleged
to have been made by ex-Detective
Alexander Cohen, the records Of this
department show that he was assigned
as detective November 10, 1910. on
January "a, 1912. he was transferred
rom the Detective Bureau at my re-
quest. and he resigned from the Po-
ice Department February 16, 1912"
Refers to Riley, Too.
Then followed without comment the
following paragraph in regard TO
Dominick G. Riley, the recently retired
captain who has been subpenaed by
Mr. Whitman TO appear before the
grand jury in the graft investigation.
May >. 1912, Dominick G.. Riley
worked under the supervision of the
Police Commissioner until August 20,
1912. when he was transferred TO the
detective division. November g. 1912,
he was transferred from the detective
division, and during this time and no
time prior thereto. did Lieutenant
Dominick G. Riley engage in the in
vestigation by direction of any wire
tapping complaints"
Then the Deputy Commissioners
statement, passed 70 a history of the
wire tapping arrests during his ad-
ministration. prefaced it with the re-
mark:
The following action by me shows
that any alleged protection guaranteed
or offered did not protect"
The Commissioner issued his history
=
and one late in the afternoon. This
second one. which was practically the
same as the earlier one, was handed out
by his secretary without comment, but
