CITES GAMING ARRESTS

In a letter to Mayor IIylan, mad.
public last night, Police Commissioner
Enrizht undertakes to defend himself
from criticism because OF his demotion
Of Inspector Daniel L. Costigan. He de-
clares that contrary to newspaper state
ments, in regard to the conduct Of the

spector Costigan Is by far the worst
made against any inspector in the de-

few months prior he had been pro.
NOTED from lieutenant to captain. with.
out ever having served a day as polics
captain in charge OF a precinct, and
having spent but little time on regular
police duty as a lieutenant. His activ.-
ties in the Police Department had con-
sisted entirely Of "shoo-fly work aid
with the so-called vice squad.
inspector Costigan was assigned 70
the First Inspection district and during
1918. while in command of this district
3l5 arrests were made for gambling
within his district by Chief Inspector
Days special squad and by the special
service division; during the same period
Inspector Costigans own men made onlv
forty-one arrests for gambling, Of whom
thirty-one were discharged, FIVE con.
victed and five cases are still pending.
This record Is by far the worst made
against any inspector in the department,
Notwithstanding the fact that gambling
has been usually more prevalent in other
parts of the city than in the First In
spection district.
"A record has been ma intained. and
intend to continue to maintain 1t, n the
activities of each inspector in regard 70
the suppression of vice in his own IN
spection district, and unless they per-
from their duty in a satisfactory and
decisive manner they will be displaced
MY policy toward the inspectors will
continue to be in the future the sams
as IL has been in the past, and that Is
to exact honesty and efficiency in the
highest possible degree from each one o.
them and from every other officer and
man in the Police Department"
