life" he replied. IT wouldn't know
him II I stumbled over him.
Inspector Headley followed Salkeld
and he was questioned Immediately
about a conversation he had Saturday
with Capt. Morgan. Lieut.. Kelly and
Fox. The conference occurred about
O'Clock Headley said, after Morgan
had been dismissed from the witness
stand
Headley was asked the substance of
Morgan's statements and he replied:
He said something about his testi-
mony here in which he was told that
graft except one, and he was too
dumb" Headley could not recall
however, what Morgan said about
Salkeld.
Did the captain make a state
ment that he had talked with Salkeld
on the day of the raid?" asked FitZ-
patrick
Yes, I think he did" Il think he
said he talked with Salkeld about 10
O'Clock in the morning. Lieut.. Kelly
at that time said something that
would show Salkeld could not have
been the "tip-off"
Liable to Go to Jail"
Schultz pressed Headley for more
definite answer to the questions about
the conference
You know. Inspector" said Schultz,
zone OF the men involved in this
: case is in a serious jam and some
one is liable to go to Jail"
Headley. however, said he could not
remember exactly.
| Headley later hesitated in giving
answers to questions as to whether a
policeman should pay for damage
when he breaks in a place in a war
rantless raid. upon the tacit approval
OF the captain.
Come on, inspector, let's have it."
said Schultz You're evasive You
are running around the BUSH"
I'm not" replied Headley.
you shouldn't be afraid to answer
these questions declared Schultz. IF
you are trying to shield some one,
come out with it,
Denies Shielding Anyone.
I'm not trying to shield any one" +"
said Headley.
After considerable argument, Head
ley finally admitted that Capt. Nor
gan had the door repaired that
Salkeld had broken when raiding
ll3 B street. He testified the repairs
were made on complaint of the owner.
Headley said he though Salkeld' S
action was improper in raiding the
place without a warrant and that as
legal proposition Capt. Morgan was
wrong in permitting it.
A few minutes later, Headley was
asked about q former policeman
named Smith, who was dismissed.
Morgan and Salkeld, in their testi-
mony Saturday, revealed that this
man frequents the fifth precinct sta
ton and accompanies detective
while he Is on duty
Headley said he did not know
Smith, neither did he know that the
man calls frequently at the station
house. He said he would make it his
business to find out what the man
Is doing If he were the captain.
Headley then admitted he knew
Fred. but had never discussed with
him the raid at 113 B street.
Fitzpatrick afterward questioned
Headley as to whether he had made
any effort to find out the name OF
the man who told Fred there would
be raid on 113 B street.
mo. SIR" replied Headley.
why not?" asked Fitzpatrick.
Because I don't want to interfere
with the work of the committee"
Fitzpatrick did not like that answer
Haven't you some responsibility"
he shouted.
"Yes," admitted Headley.
why didn't you try and find out?"
asked Fitzpatrick.
WELL" said Headley, II don't
know"
Are you content to stand and let
this committee find out?" inquired
Fitzpatrick.
"I consider this as q case in court II
Headley answered.
You're refusing to cooperate with
your department when it has been
shown there is a 'tip-off'," remarked
Schultz.
A moment later Schultz pounded
the table, charging Headley with being
derelict in his duty.
your men have been accused by a
citizen of taking graft and you've done
nothing about it." declared Schultz
You've not turned a hand"
Lieut.. Kelly Of the fifth precinct
was called to the stand when Headley
was excused and questioned about the
conversation at the precinct station
