CHICAGO CRAFT CONFESSIONS
Police Chief HeaIey Implicated by
Two Men Now Under Arrest
Eleven Men in Custody.

Chicago, Jan. 10-The men who have
confessed in the matter of the graft
charges which led to the arrest Of Su-
perintendent of Police Healey and 9TH
ers were named tonight by States At
torney Maclay Hoyne- They were
Thomas Costello, who, according to
Hoyne, was the directing genius of the
system for exacting tribute from vic
ious resorts, gambling dens, saloons,
and from policemen who accepted this
means OF attaining promotion, and
Lieut.. Augustus Martin White. Both
are under arrest.
According to Mr.. Hoyne, White, in
his admission, laid most of the blame
on Costello, and Costello, he said, as
serted that Superintendent Healey was
the person responsible for the system.
''Healey," Mr.. Hoyne said, tsshas been
quoted as saying that he saw Costello
only two or three times in the last ten
years. AS matter of fact, from Cos
tello's confession and from the reports
OF my detectives, who have Swallowed
every move of the chief for months,
they saw each other several times a
week. Costello took the chiefs share
of the tribute to the latter's home,
and the chief called frequently at Cos
tello's 'pay-off joint"
The CHEERS bond, which was set at
100000 last night, was reduced to
$25, 200 today. The defendant asserted
his innocence, but referred further in
quiries to his attorney.
Eleven persons SO far have been
taken into custody on authority of the
states attorney. Besides Superinten-
dent Healey they are: Costello, White,
William Skidmore, Michael Heitler, a
police character; Harrison J. Streeter,
an investigator for a reform organiza-
ton known as the Committee of Fiji
teen; Sergt. John J. Naughton, conf
dental secretary to the chief, and five
alleged deniZens of the West Side ten
derloin district, said to have paid pro-
lection money. Warrants are out IN
addition for Lieuts. Edward Grady and
John Hartford.
Mr.. Hoyne said that additional ar
rests would be made as new evidence
accumulated.
