| missioner-and have you ever noticed
| how this Police Department governed by
this man of the plain people. this man
friend of the poor. by Honest John. is
/ filled by police deputies all millionaires?
I They carry "P. D." on their automobile
! plates. and where you and drive our
/ Fords at the rate OF fifteen miles an
| hour. they drive their Rolls Royces at
any rate they please.
And according to the testimony Mr..
Harriss rode right up and flashed his
badge and says he wants TO go across.
Ezekial says. You can't go across" II
| am Commissioner. a. Deputy Police
| Commissioner" "Then you ought to
know better" says Ezekial, and he put
! him back. and they brought charges
against him for that. Ezekiai is con-
victed on Harrlss's testimony.
Hear this plant OF the Special
Deputy Millionaire Police Commissioner
oh. this Is good stuff. This is an ex-
tract from Harriss testimony at Head
quarters on the trial OF Ezekiai: And
he didn't let me through until the line
was open and then l went with the
other pedestrians across Forty-second
street
"Oh, infinite humiliation--that should
have rolled around as Deputy Police
Commissioner flashing my badge on the
subway guards when you and / are on
line. Oh, the humiliation of it-that
should have TO go across with the other
pedestrians.
at appears that in certain testimony
of Harriss-and / am quoting this-this
is peach. Harriss assigned. had assigned
an automobile to Richard Enright, Esq.
and Richard Enright. ESQ.,. under oath
testifies as follows. Q. And he, Harriss.
Z II. A NaN -snt
He would have given 1t to me IL wanted
it, I told him would discuss that with
him after I got through with the office
and this Is some time away
Here Mr.. Jerome interjected: "Wait
moment--what is his name? John A.
John S.. have an awful ragbag OF
mind sometimes. | said ! did not
want to make any statement that could
not back up. but / say that you boys
should go tomorrow for your papers to
one Richard Enright and ask him II he
knows Strossneider. Big Bill Stress
neider, l think. may not have the
right Harriss. Ask him, Harriss, IL he
ever knew him. StroSsneider is COM
plicated name. Harriss might forget
that. but if he does forget 1t. then all
right, ask him II lie knows Champ
Andrews--ask him If he knew Champ
Andrews Ask him II he Is the Harriss
that ought to remember Magistrate Ohm
stead Ask him and see and IL he does
not he will say so and if he does he
won't say yes. And II he does there
will be another little story by the way.
Just try it on and see what happens.
Mr.. Jerome then told his hearers
what he termed Little Story No. 3"
He reviewed first Capt. Dan Costigan
record as q hunter of vice with the rank
nf id that COEti-
gan had been denoted without explana-
tion and at time he was doing his
duty. And then he said:
Now remember the drunken loafer
Tighe, now in Sing Sing, who got repri-
manded and the decent sergeant who
told my friend Harriss to go back where
he belonged got twenty days. Dan Cos
tigan is denoted.
The name of Inspector Dwyer was
brought into the speech next. Mr.. Je-
rome calling attention to the fact that
he is still an inspector. as he was at
the beginning Of the Administration. He
asked his hearers to remember that in
1919 Inspector Dwyer bought half in
terest in q hotel in West Forty-ninth
street and told them the place always
had had a bad reputation.
He recalled that the name OF the ho-
tel had been changed soon after the In
spector took an interest in it, and then
Commissioner Enright has testified this
hotel has been under police surveillance
iuring his entire administration of the
Police Department.
"But let us see what tbs signifies to
the people of New York. Costigan had
been denoted Dwyer was running a
| house which was on Enright's testimony
| n disorderly house. and ii had been con-
stantly under Enright's surveillance for
| four years. lacking these few months.
| But Dwyer had never been denoted, nor,
as far as Enright's testinon shows.
never had he been lacked UP.
my gracious. how old Devery must
squirm What opportunities he missed
You know that if 1t did not make you
50 boiling mad 1t. would be positively
funny, grotessue. Why. 1t gets your
goat. You know you cannot stand for
such things"
