Got No Money
For Police Bill,
Lusk Testifies
(Continued from pig? one)
pear before him to tell what ho knew
of the legislation.
When Wallstein asked Lusk if Wal?
ters talked about th? bill to him, the
witness replied:
"I don't recollect talking with Sena
I tor Walters ?bout the bill. He might.
have spoken to me about it. Jf he did
it did not make any impression on me.
He visited in Albany and I saw him
about the Senato. He may have talked
to me about it. I don't recollect."
"Was any sum of money paid to you
directly or indirectly in connection
with tnis legislation?"
"There was none."
Senator Lusk said that Detectives
Gegan and Drown had told him that j
two other detectives, whose names he i
dic? not recall, wero talking about
money in connection with the bill after
it had passed the Senate und was in
the Rules Committee in tho Assembly.
He said that ho told them to tell the
I two detectives to leave Albany and that
if they obtained any proof of tho rais?
ing of any slush fund or its use to lot
j him know about it and he would sub
| mit the matter to the District Attorney
i of Albany County.
Senator Schuyler M. Meyer, who on
j Sunday announced in reply to a letter
i from Commissioner Hirshficld, who
j started the 'investigation that the
j committee would not take up the in
I vo8tigation, said that Hirshtield was
j conducting a one-sided inquiry by not
calling witnesses who could have given
testimony favorable to Lusk, and that )
i thr.t was the reason the committee liad
j departed from his declaration of the
? day before.
Two detectives wero also called, as
! was Archibald Stevenson. One of tho
! detectives wns Gegan, who swore that
I he told Detectives Thomas Conkling |
and Bernard Devaney in Albany that
? ! if they did not stop their talk 'of the
: j need of money to pass the legislation
i ? he would arrest them and tako
I them before the District Attornay of
j Albany County. He said that he also
J told what he had said to them to
I Senator Lusk, and that one of the de?
fectives had told him that they were
holding up the legislation in the As
| sembly Rules Committee to "prove to
i him that ho was a liar in saying that
j money was not necessary to pass the
i legislation." He said that after he
told this to Senator Lusk tho Senator
immediately went to the Assembly
Rulos Committee and had the bill re?
ported out.
Luak Details Bill's History
Senator Lusk, after being sworn, was
asked to tell all he knew about the de?
tectives' bill. Hia reply, which went
over the entire history of tho legisla?
tion, follows:
"I became Interested in the legisla?
tion affecting the Detective Bureau
through Detective Sergeants Gegan
and Brown, of the bomb squad. My re
' gard for Sergeants Gegan and Brown
1 arose out of the efficient, conscientious
': and able services which they rendered
j in connection with the work of the
committee investigating seditious ac?
tivities, of which ? was chairman.
"I gave my support to this measure
because, after investigation, I be?
I lieved it to be meritorious. The bill
! gave members of the Detective Bureau
! permanent tenure in office after five
years of service in that bureau. This
system, I understood, had made for
efficiency in London, Paris and other
cities. The measure made a special
appeal to me because, under the pres
i ent law, a detective who, in the line
I of his duties, displeases a local poli
| tician is liable to be arbitrarily re
j turned to tiie uniformed force, losing
I the standing which he had earned by
years of meritorious service.
"The bill also gave increased pay,
which I understood put the Detective
Bureau on substantially the same basis
as the uniformed forco and corrected
an injustice of long standing.
"Sergeants Gegan and Brown came
to my office in the Senate some time
the last of March or forepart of April.
There were two or three other detec?
tives with them, whom they introduced.
! I did not retain their names nor dis
! cuss the matter with them at any time.
I do not recall ever seeing these other
detectives again.
? A. E. Stevenson, counsel for the
I Lusk committee, had already spoken
I to me about the need of this proposed
I legislation. After going over the mat
1 ter at length with Sergeants Gegan
I and Brown I told them that I would
I do what I could to assist them. They
j asked me at that time, or soon after,
I to help thorn get Senator Smith's bill
I out of the Senate's City Committee.
X went with them to that committee
and stated to the chairman. Senator
Mullan that I thought the bill a meri?
torious one and asked him to report it
out. He said that there was opposition
to the bill and that Senator Smith did
not wish it reported out. I understood
that the opposition came from repre
sentatives of the uniformed force. II
did not, in my judgment, go to the
i merits of the measure. I then re
I quested Senator Mullan to report i
out as a committee bill, He statet
I that this would require reprinting am
j that it was so late in the session tha
it Ehould be handled in the name o
an individual Senator to save time,
j told him that I had no objection t
i sponsoring the bill, which I did. I
passed the Senate on a short roll cal
j "Some time after the bill was intrc
! duced, and either before or after
j passed the Senate?I do not reca
1 when?Sergeants Gegan and Brow
I came to my office in the Senate an
1 stated that two detectives were talkin
i of raising money to promote such legii
! lation. They told me that they ha
i informed these detectives that if ar
I money was used in any way they woul
| ask me to kill the bill, and that the
i had requested the other detectives 1
"It was at that time agreed to be?
tween Sergeants Gejjan and Brown and
1 myself that they would take a word to
these other detectives from me that
they should get out of Albany at once;
also that Sergeants Gegan and Brown
would investigate the matter, and if
they could find any evidence of any
money having been used in any way to
. further this legislation that they would
? report the matter to the District At
I torney of Albany County and to myself
at once. I never heard anything fur?
ther about any money being raised or
? used in connection with this legisla
; tion until nhout two weeks BETO.
"After the bill had passed the
? Senate and was in the Rules Com
: mittee in the Assembly Sergeant
i Gegan met me in the hall of the Ca.pi
j toi and stated that he did not know
j whether it would be reported out. I
j told him to wait and I would find out.
I went over and saw Speaker Machold
and told him that I believed that the
bill was meritorious and ought to be
reported out and passed. He stated
that he would give it his support.
Later on it waa reported out and
passed the Assembly, having the sup?
port of both the majority leader, Mr.
Adler, and the minority leader, Mr.
Donahue.
"About two weeks ago Sergeant
Brown came to my hotel and stated
that a letter had been received at Po?
lice Headquarters in reference to
some money loaned to detectives in
connection with their legislation; that
the matter would be investigated right
away, and that he would keep me in?
formed as to the developments. ? was
also promised a, copy of tho ovidence,
which I intend personally to lay before j
the District Attorney of Albany!
County. '
"I bavq?. no recollection of ever hav
ing heard of a man hy the name of
; Kleist until I saw his name in print
In the newspapers in connection with
this investigation. I have no knowl
edgo of ever having Been or talked to
the man. I certainly never talked with
him in reference to detective bills, as
my conversations in reference to this
legislation were confined to Mr.
Stevenson, Sergeants Gegan and
Brown and members of the Legislature,
"During the session of the Leglnla
ture its corridors were swarmed with
men and women urging support and
opposition to different measures. 1 am
?orry that any of these have turned
out to bo gratters and that they have
seen fit to graft in connection with ?
mensure bearing my name. I am sorry
that iv situation hn3 arisen which tends
t?> discredit, n legislation which 1 be?
lieve would make for efficiency in the
Police Department of this city. 1 do
not believe that any member of the
Legislature received or was promised
any money for supporting or voting
against this or any other measure. 1
am naturally very much concerned in
seeing that a full investigation is made
and that all guilty parties are pun?
ished. I feel that Commissioner Hirsh?
field is to be commended for his seal
in attempting to ascertain all the facts
in this mattet'.
"I will render every possible assist?
ance in making a thorough investiga?
tion."
Senator Lusk was asked if he hat
called on Commissioner Hirshfield yes
terday. He said that he did and thai
he had promised to appear before hin
on Wednesday. Hirshfield had invitei
Senator Lusk to testify in a lette;
which he sent to Senator Meyer oi
Suturday.
After Senator Lusk finished his testi
mony Chairman Myor snid that wher
the other detectives who had been sub
poenaed could be found he would holt
another public hearing.
The others wanted, most of whon
have testified before Commissions
Hirshfield, are Captain Kails, in com
mand of the West Sixty-eighth Stree
detective bureau, where Kleist, th
lobbyist, and several detectives dis
cussed the need of raising money t
pass the legislation; Detectives Ber
nard Devaney, Thomas Conkling am
Thomas J. Finn, who were demoted o
July 13 after a hearing before the act
ing Chief Inspector for their part i
promoting the legislation; Detective
Cornelius Brown and Detective Edwi
J. Burns, president of tho Detective;
Endowment Association.
Detective George McDonald, of Act
ing Chief Inspector Lahoy's office, wa
the first witness yesterday. He ex
plained why the other detectives be
sides Gegan were not present in an
Kwer to subpoenaea served at the Act
ing Chief Inspector's office at 4 o'eloc
yesterday afternoon. Most of thei
were out of town on their vacation:
he said. Ho said that some would b
available to-morrow.
Detective Gegan, the next witnesi
told of going to Albany along wit
Detective Brown to enlist Senate
Lusk's aid in the legislation. At hi
first meeting there with Lusk, wh
he testified, was well known to himse'
and Brown because of their constar
contact with him when he was chai:
man of the Lusk committee, the m<
jority leader said:
"I want to do something for yc
boys for the assistance you ronden
me when I was in New York. I advis
you to get together and withdraw oi
bill and I will introduce your log:si
tion for you if you convince me it
a good bill."
lie said that on April 4 he nr
Brown discussed the merits of the bi
with Senator Lusk.
"We told him that this was the on
rank in the department where the
was not permanancy and that son
lawyer, in defending a case, might g
sore on the detective und that t
lawyer might later be made a stjcc?
deputy police commissioner and c
mote the detective or remove him."
The next time that the witness st
he saw Lusk was on April 7. Hro1
was with him again. This time he s?
he again addressed himself to t
merits of the bill and rai3ed a seco
point in its favor.
"I told him that the bill was pi
terned after Scotland Yard," si
Gegan.
To which he eaid Senator Lusk
plied:
"If you tell me this is a good 1
I'll give it my name and introduce
That same day the bill was int
ducod.
He again went to Albany on April
and it passed the Senate on April
On April 16 he said he was in the r
of the Assembly chamber. He said t
on that day he met Jack Kleist, .
vaney and Conkling.
Threatened to Arrest Devaney
"I want to say that I had previo,
met Kleist and was told by the mt
ger of the Ten Eyck Hotel that he
barred from there because he beat
?hotel out of $250. From other in
mation I got I believed that Kleist
a bunco steerer. I talked to Devf
in the presence of Detective Br?
in the rear of the Assembly. I a?
him if the bill had come out of
Rules Committee. Devaney repl
'It has not. I gut it stopped,
are telling people that no mone;
needed to pass thi3 bill, and I'm g
to prove you are a damned liar.' I s
'I'll see Lusk.' He said: 'What
hell good is Lusk at this end? He
be all right in the Senate, but h
no good at this end,' I said to
vanoy: 'No money is needed. Sen
Lusk is an honest man and if
don't stop talking about money in
nection with this bill which bears
name I'll ask Senator Lusk to have
bill killed in the Assembly, and, fur
I'm going to lock you up if you
about money any more.' Devaney
ored and went over to another pai
! the Assembly and joined Kleist
I Conkling and I followed him and
1 to Conkling what I had just sai
! Devaney. Then I went to Senator '.
; and told him what had happened
? he said to me: 'Jim, we don't do 1
j ness up here that way. Don't let
? men pay a penny. It won't cost
a postage stamp. If you hear any i
about money tell me and I'll n
the District Attorney here.' "
Told Them to Get Out
Gegan said that he then w-ent bat
Devaney and Conkling and told 1
to get out of Albany or he would ai
them.
The witness said that at a met
of the Detectives' Endowment Ass?
tion late in April Devaney and C
ling said that they had spent $10
and wanted the money to be pai?
the association through assessmer
the membership. He said that he s
"Stop that talk or I'll make an ar
I rest right here."
Gegan volunteered that it whs his
belief that no money was ever paid
and that Conkling and Devaney were
trying to swindle their brother officers
Commissioner Hirshfield said yester?
day that the slush fund charges never
reached the attention of Police Com?
missioner Enright until July 1)?three
months after Gegan testified that he
first heard talk of a slush fund. En
right at once brought it to the atten?
tion of Hirshfield, who took up the in?
vestigation of the chargea on July 10.
At the investigation conducted by
Commissioner Hirshfield Detective Ed?
ward F, MeAuliffe yesterday testified
that he had helped to obtain one of
the $2,500 notes which was used as
collateral to secure the loan of $10,000
which some of the detectives raised.
He testified that the money raised
was to be ropaid by an assessment on
the entire membership of the Detec?
tives' Endowment Association. He said
that at the meeting of the association
on March 25, before any of the legisla?
tion was introduced, there was a gen?
eral understanding among the detec?
tives that the money waa to be repaid
by assessment.

1,135 Convicts
Wreck Prison
in. Fire Riot
(Con!lnt;ed from m?a? Ql?)
guarda in refusing to be tricked by a
ruse, tho plan would have succeeded,
it is declared.
Tho liest squad of almost 600 prison?
ers had been served their noon meal in
the dlning-hall and had been returned
to their cells, and the second squad,
numbering about 050, were in the din
in;- room when two of the prisoners
started a fight. Soon diahes, chairs,
tables and other missies were whirling
throng? tho air. Suddenly a rush was
made for tho guards. TliO latter, how?
ever, lutrcatcd to the prison walls and
covered the mob with their rifles.
Seen Applying Torch
Simultaneously, fires broke out in j
the weaving shop, the broom shop, the
shoo shop, chapel and the kitchen. A
negro prisoner was seen applying a !
torch to two of II-." buildings, A mo?
ment later he was foiled by a guard.
The buildings, dry an tinder, soon
wore in flames. The prisoners broke
for the open. The rioting convicts
were like stampeding cattle. Shout?
ing and cursing, they hurled every sort
of object or weapon they could find,
While reserved guards stationed them?
selves on the walls to prevent escape .
iiv that, manner, othor guards rushed
from the buildings and formed lines to
prevent the prisoners from rushing the
gates.
Practically all the shooting took
place in the main building. In the
rioting in the yard the guards used
clubbed rifles and threats of volleys to
control tho frenzied prisoners. It was j
almost half an hour from the time
that tho rioting started before the (150
men had been driven inside the build?
ing. ?
It is considered remarkablo that
many of the prisoners did not succeed
in escaping while they were being j
herded into tho main building. Several
times the. huge gates were swung open
to permit fire engines to enter, and at
these times all that stood between the
prisoners and liberty were two lines
of guards, one inside the gates and
one o Lit side. However, none succeeded
in breaking through, so far as is
known.
The worst phase of the rioting oc?
curred after the prisoners had been I
cleared from the yard and had been I
locked inside the building. Once in?
side they deiied the guards when or?
dernd to go back to their cells, and,
taking refuge on top of the cell tiers,
rained down bricks, pieces of cement,
wash stands which they tore from the
walls and even huge pieces of steel
which they tore from their cells. They
pried and battered down cells and brick
partitions and even broke up the ce?
ment flooring? which was eighteen
rehes thick, and hurled it all down at
the guards and police! who were at?
tempting io control them. Practically
-?(l per cent of the colis was destroyed
in this manner before the prisoners
were subdued.
Lor several weeks rumors have been
corren; of trouble in the big peniten- |
Mary. Prisoners brought from the East- I
em Penitentiary, in Philadelphia, both
male and t?male, nave been discon- j
tented, saying that they were not nc
ecrded the privileges In the local in?
stitution that they had received in j
their former abode. The principal com?
plaint of the inen was that their food I
was not satisfactory and that they j
wore not permitted to have cigarettes.
The women, it was learned, were in- I
dignant because they were not per- I
mitted to use face powder and rouge,
insisting thot the use cf cosmetics was j
as much a necessary part of their toilet I
inside the prison us it would be were !
they on the outside.
Deputy Warden of the Western Pen- |
itent i-:'.r- \.\ a statement issued to-night
said:
"Conditions which the prisoners!
wanted and which would net be granted
under any circumstances, discontent;
and no work are the causes which
started the trouble to-day.
"Two weeks ago a small riot occurrei
in the dining-room. Yesterday we dis?
covered that a plan to start a riot wan
formulated, but before the trouble
gained headway the guards promptly
qv< lied it and the men were taken to
their respective quarters. About 11:50
a. m. to-day the trouble started.
"Dishes, chairs, knives and forks and
' other articles were hurled by tho pris?
oners at the guards, and at trie same
i time fire started simultaneously in a
number of buildings and in tho
kitchen.
, "As the guards wore making an ef
] fort to control the convicts their atten
! tion was diverted by the. fire. The pris
? oners stampeded and ran from tho
? dining-room into the prison courtyard.
"Considerable difficulty was experi?
enced in rounding up the prisoners, but
the guards worked hard and succeeded
in driving the men into the prison and
