Brown Explains questions
Senator Downing don't know what
this is. all about I see the dates cover
a period beginning in February or May,
whereabouts, in 1919, and running to
1921.
Mr.. Brown-I,win' tell you. The prin-
cipal purpose is to show that, on May
20 or 21, 1920, when Mr.. Gilbert stated
that he gave Donlinisck Henry $500 be-
cause he was broke. TO defend himself,
-Dominick Henry paid SILL 900 for stocks
and took them from this brokerage
firm. That is the principal object.
Senator Downing-He was not a
member of the Police Department at
that time, was he?
Mr. Brown--You mean he was under
suspension at that time.
Senator Downing he was out of
it, Having been convicted he auto
matically got out of it, although he was
restored to it by the action of the
court.
Mr.. Brown think that was the
time when he WAS free and at liberty
and went and got the $500, and that he
was in the Tomhs in July.
The testimony concerning former
Police Lieutenant Maher was brought
out by Mr.. Wallstein through Clarence
L.
the United Fruit Company. Maher is
credited with being the originator of
Inc ~sa oo-ay" system of checking up
the work of patrolmen. He had been
dismissed from the force by former
Police Commissioner Woods on Sep
tember 81, 1917, on charges fled by a
woman and patrolman who worked
under Maher. He was accused at the
time with "having borrowed money
from a woman under false pretenses
and with having told patrolman
that he had borrowed the money for
the purpose of giving it to persons
mission in order to get a re-rating" on
the eligible list for captain.
EARLY in 1913, a rehearing of his
case was ordered by Commissioner
Enright and his reinstatement fol-
lowed on March 5. He was retired on
March 81, it being the contention Of
counsel for the Meyer committee that
his reinstatement was effected merely
for the purpose of permitting his re-
tirement twenty-five days later on a
pension.
