you've got very poor eyesight. De-
vaney; very poor eyesight," retorted
Commissioner Hirshfeld.
Devaney said that he had heard ru-
mors IN Albany of fund of $4,000
raised to grease the Lusk bill through,
lie could only recall one instance
where he heard this talk. He said that
he heard some men he did not know in
telegraph office say that such fund
was raised. He offered his opinion
that the talk of big slush fund was
to get Smith to drop the BILL so that
Lusk could handle it, and observed
that 1T was his belief that Detectives
Gegan and Brown were behind it.
1t was at this juncture that Senator
Lusk's gubernatorial ambitions, which
nave been an open secret in political
circles for months, were touched upon.
Detectives Gegan and Brown, Deva-
ney testified, were helping Senator
Lusk to gel. all the credit for passing
the legislation because it would fur
Their Senator Lusk's ambitions to be
Governor He testified further that on
enc occasion Brown and Gegan said
Senator Lusk will need lot of votes
and that sponsoring the detectives
higher pay and permanent job bill
would aid him materially.
Devaney testified that he had never
heard of the St131 silver service
bought, it is alleged, out of the surplus
left after the dinner given by the De-
tectives' Endowment Association to
Senator Lusk, although he was an
active member of the association, until
he read of it in the newspapers a few
days ago.
Police Lieutenant Joseph Courtney,
who, with President Moran of the Pa
trolmen's Benevolent Association, led
the fight at Albany against the lobby
that damned the Lusk bill through, was
the next witness. He told of vain at
tempts made by himself and President
Moran, as representatives of the entire
uniformed force Of the Police Depart
ment, to get Lusk to drop the legisla-
ton. He said they pointed out the
features in the bill which shattered
civil service traditions and asked that
Lusk grant a public hearing on the bill.
This Lusk refused to do. saying that it
was too late, and he wanted to "do
something for his friends Gegan and
Brown"
