Police Partnership With Crime.
‘ The Legislative committee now in-
vestigating the Police Department of
New York has struck pay dirt, in min-
ing parlance, in the testimony of a
number of dive and saloon-keepers to
the effect that they are regularly and
heavily blackmailed by the police. The
testimony is explicit, fixing the amounts
paid, the dates of payment and the
persons to whom paid.
Several of the dive-keepers have tes-
tified to the payment of sums varying
from $150 to $500 for what they termed
initiation fees, and from $25 to $50
monthly, one keeper of a disorderly
house stating that he had paid for police
protection upwards of $4,000 in less
than three years. The money in most
cases was paid to an individual familiar-
] y known as the police captain’s “ward
man” in the district in which the par-
ticular dive was located, and the effort
of Superintendent Byrnes to break up
the practice by transferring captains to
other districts onlv increased the pay-I,
ments of hush money, as every trans-
fer carried with it a new ward man,
who had to have a new initiation fee.
The testimony is, of course, that of
men and women engaged in a nefarious
business, and the ofiieials implicated
will doubtless attempt to discredit it on
. this plea? It is hard to see what motive
r
these witnesses could have for testify-
ing falsely in this way, and they are
probably telling the truth because they
have been assured that the same state
of facts will be proved by other wit-
nesses before the close of the examina-
tion. There is a common impression
that. the detectives ,employed by the
Society for the Suppression of Vice
were in possession of the main facts
long ago, and that after the dive-keep-
ers have testified this reserve evidence
will be brought forward, establishing
the truth of the scandalous story be-
yond contradiction.
His Arm Crushed.
The crowds which were waiting for
their trains at the Bridgeport depot,
Wednesday evening, witnessed a terri—
ble accident which befcll George F.
Richardson, the superintendent of the-
"3ridgeport Hydraulic company. Mr.
Richardson had been waiting at the
depot for several minutes and as the
0:22 passenger train east bound rolled
in towards the station,” Mr. Richardson
started to cross the plat-form, evidently
going to the sheds on the opposite side
of the track. ,
The engineer of the train saw him
and blew several blasts of the whistle.
Mr. Richardson seemed confused, and
first he started to go ahead, but when
the train was nearly upon. him he start-
ed to go back. He was not soon enough
and was caught by the pilot of the en-
gine and pulled up on the pilot, so that
he fell between the flagstafi‘ and the
pilot of the engine. The Ijostling of
the locomotive caused Mr. Richardson
to roll off, and he fell beside the tracks.
His right arm fell under the wheels
of the engine and was badly crushed
and had to be amputated afterwards
at the hospital. “
The spectators were horrified and
one woman fainted at the sight. Mr.
Richardson is the son of the principal
owner of the hydraulic works. He is
forty—eight years of age and has a
family. The physicians consider the
chances for his recovery about even.

Those New Helmets.
The appearance presented by the
I city police in their new summer wash-
bowl helmets is startling. Bob. More-
house looks as though he had been re-
ducing his weight and had forgotten
the upper portion of his trunk. “Billy
Bart” has a terrified kind of babes—in-'
the-woods look about him that touches
one’s heart, while John Kenney has a
a thanks-can’t—go-am-onduty kind of
look that brings tears to the eyes.
Taken all in all, the police do have
a kind of please-shoot~me-I-want-to-
die look about them as they compare
their wash-bowls with the neat looking.

Where Did it Go ?
At a meeting of Buckingham Post,
Wednesday evening, a discussion arose
over the receipts from the collection of
the Baptist church, which was taken
up for the benefit of the Post at the
memorial service, Sunday evening,
May 27. There were fifty-eight mcm~
bers in attendance at the service, and
it is claimed that they contributed near-
ly $10, but when the money was paid
over to the Post two weeks afterwards,
only $4. 50 was given them as the pro-
ceeds of the collection. What the Post
wants to know is where the balance
went.

A Brave Oirl.
Miss Carrie Campbell, who is very
pretty and about 17 years of age, re-
sides with her parents in Essex. A few
days ago she was alone when some one
knocked at the door. Opening it, Miss
Campbell was confronted by two tramps
who pushed her aside and entered. She
made out to comply with their demand
for food, but went to an adjoining
room and procured a shotgun. During
her absence the tramps set to work to
ransack the room. Miss Campbell
rushed in and with the gun‘cocked,
ordered them to hold up their hands.
The tramps hesitated, but seeing that
the girl was in earnest dropped their
booty and disappeared.

NEW YORK, J une - 14.——Erastus Wiman
brought the usual large quota of friends
and lawyers to the court of oye‘r and ter-
mlner fer the third day of - his trial before
Justice Ingraham and a jury on the charge
of forgery "in the second degree. The pro-
ceedings thus far have given a clew to the
line of defense which will be presented.
General Tracy objected strenuously to the
introduction of any evidence which did
not bear exactly upon the one transaction
in question and by the nature of 11’s cross
examination indicated that his object
would be to“ show that, no matter what the
agreement between Mr. Dun and Mr. W1.
man, Mr. Douglas and Mr. King stated,
'Mr. Wiman really acted as a. partner of
Mr. Dun in the firm of R. G. Dun & Co.,
and therefore had a right to do what is al-
leged. to have been a crlminal act on his
part. . -, .
Assistant District Attorney .Wellman
for the prosecution called witnesses to
prove that Mr. Wiman was in great finan-
cial stress when he signed E. W. Bullin-‘
ger’s name on the back of R. G. Dun 8r.”
Co.’s check for $5,000 and deposited the
check in the Central National bank to his
own private account. The object was to
show that Mr. Wimnn intended to defraud
R. G. Dun 8:, Co. Mr. Bullinger testified
that he had not authorizeer. Wiman to'
sign his name.
General Tracy, in behalf of Mr. Wiinan,
'acknowlcdged that Mr. Wiman had writ-
ten the name, but asserted that according
to commercial law he had a right to do so.
The prosecution introduced evidence to
Show that Mr. Winian’s indebtedness to
R. G. Dun 8.: Co. had increased from year
to year, and that in December, 1802, he
had given a check for $135,000, which was
credited on R. G. Dun & Co’s books, but
was never paid. ' " '_
Mr. “'iman's Confession.
Mr. Wiman's letter to Mr. Dun, in.
which he was said to have confessed crime
and begged for mercy, was produced in
the morning and created ascnsation. One
of the first witnesses, Ogden Brewer, treas-
urer of the Campbell Printing Press com-
pany, testified his company had never re—
ceived money on a check of R. G. Dun &. Co.
for $5,000, dated Jan. 20, 1893. The name
of Ogden Brower on the back of the check
was not in his handwriting. Mr. Brewer
testified in regard to a check for $1,000
that the Campbell Printing Press Com-
pany had never received thc money. (fen-
eral Tracy asked him if Mr. Winmn had.
not given him his personal, pets for the
indebtedness covered by the checks. Mr-
Brower said that he knew nothing about.
the check. Mr. Wiman had givenhis note
for $5, 000 or $6, 000 for printing presses'
purchased by R. G. Dun 8:. Co. from the;
Campbell cOmpany. A~
General Tracy got the witness to ac-
knowledge that he had never seen Mr. Wi-
man write.
Cyrus H. Taylor, receiving teller of the
Central National bank, testified that the
Fitzgerald check for $7,500 had beendc-
posited ln that bank on Feb. 24, 1891. The
deposit slip was, he thought, in Mr. Wi-
inan’s handwriting. Under cross exam-
ination he would not swear it was Mr. Wi-
man’s handwriting.
Robert D. Douglass, one of the members
of the association of R. G. Dun & Co.
since 1881 and an employee for nine years
previous to 1881, was the next witness.
Then Mr. Wellman produced the alleged
letter of confession and asked the witness
to identify it, and after Mr. Douglass had
done so offered it in evidence: General
Tracy sprang to his feet and said: “I~ob--'
ject to this letter on the ground that it
was written by advice of counsel and un-‘ '
der positive assurance that if written and
signed it would be better for the defend-
ant. andthat no proceedings against him,
criminal or civil, would be brought. I of-
fer to prove this.”
“I have nothing to do with offers to
prove,” said Justice .Ingraham. ' “If you
have any evidence, bring it out.” The ex-
amination of Mr. Douglass was suspended
while General Tracy consulted with coun-
sel. General Tracy soon arose to his feet
again. ’
“What are you going to do?”’ said Mr.
Wellman. .
“Call Erastus Wiman, ” was General
' Tracy’s dry reply.
The Confession Read.
Mr. W’ima‘n was finally called to the '
stand and read the letter, which was as
follows: '
New YORK. Feb. 20, 1894.
MY DEAR. Mn. DUN—I have had occasion to
write you more than once in terms of great hu-
miliation. but never before under such circum-
stances as now. in which I have to make a con-
fession to you. It is that improperly and
fraudulently I have signed the name of E. W.
Bollinger on the back of two checks of ‘ your
firm made to his order.
I will not urge that this was done without
any evil intent, or that he would not have
signed them himself had I asked him, or that I
.had any intention of defrauding you or him.
Simply and frankly I must say that I commit-
ted this act without authority and most impru-
dently and can ask no excuse or palliation of
the offense, except such as in your abundant
charity and goodness of heart you may in
mercy extend to me. .
For the sake of my dear wife and children.
and for the sake of mylong service rendered”
to you, I pray God your heart may still be sof-
tened toward me, and that I may not be made
to suffer the penalty of my offenses. Respect-
fully. Enasrus WIMAN.
“Mr. MacFarland conveyed to me the
idea.” said Mr. \Viman, “that if I [should
write such a. letter there would be‘ no pros—
ecution and everything would be settled.”
William Wallace McFarland, the lawyer
in question, took the stand. He flatly con-
tradiCted what Mr. VViman had said about
theletter. _

famous ch0w 1') :lice investigating com-
mittee met it was report: (1 that - Su-
perintendent Byrno: haul been or ' was
about to be snbpmnzml as a witness by the
Biz-Surrogate Ransom, when
asked directly if Byrncs had been s'um-
moned, replied that he. had no knowledge
of such an action. He did not know
whether the superintendent would be
called in the course of the investigation or
not. Superintendent Byrncs, it was add-
ed, would be subjected to the same line of
examination as that undergone by other
witnesses. Karl Werner, a German who
kept a disorderly house at 6 Delancey
street from January, 1892, to November,
1893, testified that Captain Devery and
his word mop, Glennon, visited his house.
He didn’t see Dcvery again, but he saw
Wardman Glennon the next day in the
station house. “Glennon,” continued the
witness, “said the price was $600. I gave
him $300. I'sent another party into the
station house with the other $300. , I met
Glennon again in a saloon on the corner
of Chyrstic and Delancey streets. I wanted
Glennon to reduce the monthly payment.
He said he couldn’t do it, because the
'money wasn’t for him. I had no trouble
with Dr. Parkhurst there. We got a tip to
close up or keep open. We used to get a
tip between 3 and 4 o’clock every after-
noon. ~ I kept that house for the three
months while Captain Dcvery was there
until I got the tip to close up until further
orders. I paid $750 to the police in three
months.” '-
. “Had you any conversation with Cap-
tain Dcvery as to how long the $600 initi-
ation fee would guarantee you p‘rotcctiOn?’ ’
“The understanding was~ that it held
good untilIa new captain came in.” . ,
Witness said he got into trouble with
‘ the Gerry society and that he paid Senator
Roesch $1,400 to get him out of the diffi-
culty. . '-

Umbrellas and Lanterns In China. ‘
If a Chinese leaves his heme after
night without. taking with him a lan-
tern, such as is'assigned to the use of
the class to which he belongs, lie is lia-
ble to arrest by the police. As soon as it
is dark every city. seems ablaze with lan-
terns. They light up the homes of the
rich and poor. ‘They‘are..atta_ched to the
angles of the pagoda; They'are seen at
every port and on everyyiver.’ In fact,
they make their appearance everywhere,
and to call China the “land of lanterns”
is by no means a misnomer. Umbrellas,
too, are Of much importance in China,
becauseth'ere the umbrella is a-mark of
rank. Two large red silk umbrellas sig-
nal the approach of the governor general
of a province. A red silk' umbrella with
three ruflles on it is the kind, assigned to
the four highest ranks of mandarin.
The nobility of' lower rank areentltled
to an umbrella of red silk, but may have
only two ruffles. The two highest ranks
of gentlemen commoners are entitled to
a red state umbrella surmounted by a
knob of tin. The third and fourth ranks
have the knob of wood instead "of tin,
but it is always painted red. An um-
brella of blue cloth with two Irufies and
surmounted by :a red painted Wooden
knob distinguishes the fifth rank.—
