Of the reasons FOR demoting Costigan.
Some Things Not Explained
The Commissioner failed, however. to
explain why he had not reduced the

Henry was appointed months after
Costigan Mr.. Enright did not offer an
explanation, either, Of why he sent
Costlgan to a captancy and at the same
time promoted a Brooklyn captain to
acting inspector.
With Costigan disposed Of, those who
have followed the police situation
turned their attention to the chief in
spectorship. 1t is practically conceded
that 'Father John" Daily, now an old
man, is to be retired. The way is being
paved for graceful let-out for DAILY
by the spreading Of n story to the eff
feet that owing to illness in his family
Chief DAILY will probably have to seek a
climate far from New York.
Several names have been suggested
as possible successors of DAILY. OF the
lot that have been mentioned there ap-
peared yesterday only one who was not
disqualified for one cause or another.
He was Inspector Henry
Friend Of Commissioner
Henry and Enright are personal
friends of long standing, and one of
the Commissioners first act was to
elevate Henry to an inspectorship
There is, however, one man who has
quietly developed into police power
urder the present administration. He
is Inspector Alfred w Thor and as
"chicf of staff" at headquarters "a here
tofore unknown rank in the depart

of the chief inspectorship. In the
absence of the chief inspector, Thor is
always assigned to the duties of that
ctice.
Inspector Thor is native New
Yorker, the son of an old Boweryite.
He is young. active and known as a

The familiar melody, coupled with

And then the guard reported the
new method in vogue in the crowded
Bronx County Jail for communicating
vital facts to the five men awaiting
trial on charges of murder. In the

to appear. Their testimony is of vital
Importance to the prosecution, and the
witnesses know il.
Moreover, it is of equal Importance
that the nature of the testimony of
these witnesses be kept from the ac-
cused men. Realizing that they would
be penalized if they adopecd the sim

communicate, the witnesses decided to
