Patrick J. Twomey, Patrol

Before Hirshfield.
HE COLLECTED FUND

Service Attaches.

Go-between Goes to Ireland
After Withdrawing Cash
Politicians Threaten.

Patrick j. Twomey, policeman at
tached to the East I26th street station
testified yesterday before David Hirsh-
field, Commissioner OF Accounts, that
he had collected $26,5O0 from eighteen
policemen on the strength of promise
that they would be placed on the ell
igible list of police sergeants through,
influence exerted by his friend, Michael
j. Burke, saloonkeeper, with officials
in the Civil Service Commission. The
eighteen policemen paid about s1,500
each, the witness said.
The money was turned over to
Burke, Twomey stated, who deposited
it in the Mount Morris Bran. Of the
Corn Exchange Bank. The bank ac-
count shows the deposit. The cash was
withdrawn by Burke late in August
and enrly in September. Then Burke
went to Ireland. Twomey said he be-
came alarmed and went to the Civil
Service Commission to inquire of Pat
rick Ryan, finger print expert, whether
his friends were on the sergeants' list
to be issued shortly.
Burke had boasted, the witness said
that he was fixing things" through
Ryan. Other officials in the commits
sion named by Twomey are Miss Bar
bara Wilder, an examiner. and Charles
Stengle, secretary. Stengle promptly
took the complaint to Mayor Hylan,
who ordered the Commissioner of Ac-
counts to make the investigation.
Twomey Reverscs HIS stand.
When he appeared before Con,lnis-
sioner Hirshfeld in the forenoon,
Twomey denied making his statement TO
the commission and said he knew moth
ing of the case. Two hours later he de-
clared he wanted to make clean breast
of the whole affair and 'come clean"
Then he gave his testimony.
During the two hour interval Hirsh-
field said he was visited by several poll
ticians, who threatened to make trouble
il the investigation were pressed. and
warned that some ono in the commits
sion would be hurt. Hirshfield declared
he answered that he did not care who
was hurt. that the inquiry was going
through to the end. The hearing will
go on to-day, when all persons named
will be summoned.
In his testimony, Twomey stated that
$1,000 of the fund was given by Burke
to saloonlseeper ramed Manning az
Third avenue and Ninety-third street.
in payment for a debt for a civil SER
vice official Hirshfeld said that a man
named Manning at the saloon refused
to answer subpoena and thai body
attachment had been sworn out for him.
The Investigation VIII seek to show
whether some one in the commission has
been guilty Of grating or whether. II
Twomey's story Is true. Burke worked n
trick on Twomey. All OF the 5000
policemen who took the sergeants' ex-
animation in August last have given
sworn statements to the Commissioners
OF Accounts that they paid no money to
any one in connection with that test. II
Twomey's testimony is true, 1t is evil
dent that at least eighteen policemen
committed perjury.

CHAPTER III

In the first year OF fighting,
Georges Carpenter had occasion
Tor very little test OF endurance.
He had developed n flashy, dancing
style OF battling. ana seldom found
Il necessary to stay in the ring
longer than four rounds. His nasty
right mitt usually found an opening
early in the bout.
Early in 1908, after scoring his
first real knockout. against Moin-
ereau, countryman, in three
rounds. he was matched to meet
jockey by the name OF Salmon.
This fighter had earned a reputa-
tiop through cleaning up on all Of
the flyweight scrsppers in the terri
tory. Carpenter was several years
younger than Salmon and many
pounds lighter. Fight fans were
amused at such a match. What

with Legrand, another fighter who
stood high in flstic circles. /,
He had now passed the 15-year
mark and remarkable development
had taken place. His weight held
him in the flyweight class, however.
Early in 1909 Georges turned En-
tables on his previous two-time or.
ponent, getting decision over Sal
mon in 10 rounds. Shortly afte-
this he was matched with Gloria.

For five rounds Carpenter looked a
winner. Then a sudden blow was

had taken the count.
