 When interviewed, MT. x" had just left police headquarters where he had been closeted with Chief Will liam c. Hart, Sergeant John J. King and Policeman Thomas J. Feeney for almost an hour.

 Questioned this morning as to his purpose, Chief Hart said that he felt It necessary to have a talk with the man and warn him about circulating stories about the city. Chief Hart said "he admitted to me his identity as Roy I. Million of Merfden, and also that the stories that have ap- peared in the papers about his activ- tiles were correct" The chief said that the only thing "Mr. x,.' denied was that he had received any money in return for his services, although he told the chief he had been given to understand ttat he would be re- fnunerated.
 Talking to the Herald reporter, "Mr. x" said that he was the most surprised person in the city when he read in the papers that he was. the investigator that was said to be probing stories about irregularities in the police and fire departments as we'll as the existence of a number of disorderly house. He claimed that he had been offered the position of in- vestigator some time ago and had refused it.
 He denied that he had acted as a stoolpigeon for the police in the raid on discrderly house on Park street over a week ago.

The chief said that in the conference at the mayors office on the night of the raid, MT. X'' had told them he had been to the house and was willing to go there again If they wanted to raid it, whereupon he left the mayors office with Policeman Patrick J. O'Mara and went to the house and signalled for the raid that followed. The, chief said that he had not received any moey for his part in the raid.
 MT. x" denied all connection with any investigation that might be un- derway in the city, saying T defy anyone to prove that I was in any way connected with it." He said that he had not received any money from the city and did not expect to receive any as he had not been en- gagged by the city in any capacity.
 He warned that the more pub licity that was given him, the more 1t would hinder some mysterious movement that is due to .ripen in about a week, furnishing one of the most sensational occurrences in the history of the city. Questioned as to the nature of the impending crash, MT. x" said that he was not at lib- erty to divulge any information con- cerning 1t, but could state that 1t did not involve either the fire or police departments. 4
