New York. September is.? Investi?
gation today by the aldermanic Com?
mittee ol the affidavit made by Po?
ll.. Captain John T Keith, that $ 10.
I. had been den ande.i ol htm as
the price ef promotion ol captaincy
during Commissioner I'.inuham's ad-'
ministration developed testimony as
so.iatm< WlaAold K. Sheehan, sec?
retary of ('ommissioner Waldo with
a man supposed to he getting graft.'
The testimony was given by I). J.
Kelleher. a private detective, who said
he had been assigned in December
last by Alfred G. Johnson, the under
sheriff whom Keith accused in his af
tldavlt of having demanded the $10.- i
000 from him. to follow a lawyer
i
named Norton. This man "by com?
mon rumor. 1 hi ?Vi J, "was supposed
to be collecting police graft from his
office at No 111 Broadway. He trailed
Norton, he testified. to Sheehan's
house. Sheehan discovered him there
and kept him locked in while he sent
for two detectives, but he was not
arrested. Norton, he said collapsed.
A few days laler, Kelleher testi?
fied, he met sheehan by appointment
and the commissioners secretary said
to him:
"What have you got on me "
"I told him." said the witness, "that
1 had nothing on him. but that I did
have something on George C. Norton
and that I had been sent to find out
if Norton ever met Sheehan. and that
1 had found him and that my Job wa<
done. I told Sheehan that Norton
e/Sji supposed to be getting graft. He
told me then he should be arrested.
I stated that ' was a police job not
mine.'
Police Capt. Hernard J. Kelleher, a
brother of the witness, testified that
Commissioner Waldo had said to him
last June: "1 am \ery sorry that a
member of your family should have
had one of my men under surveil?
lance."
The Kdlehers were preceded on th?
stand by Johnson, who denied he h ol
eVCJf demanded money from Keith.
"I saw him a couple of times." siid
Johnson, "and then he said he ktn w
the |ob could be fought and that he
had the n.oney to pay. I told him he
was a fool if he thought he could hu
Qefl I'.ingham. He came to see me
again and again until 1 was sick 01
hix face and of him. and i told him t >
?d out of my sight and to keep (>u?
Johnson admitted that he had had
Norton investigated out of curiosity
but ha bud stopped without learn n
"anything Important*"
Cap! Keith'i testimony was In the
main an elaboration of ihe already
published charges made in ids affidavit
which was produced at the beginning
of the day's proceeding! by Commis?
sioner Waldo. Reith swore he had
"received word" that Johnson wanted
to see him, and that upon visiting him
Johnson informed him that his name
was about to be oertlfled for promo?
tion. Johnson then took him, he said,
to see Thomai J. Hassett. former sec?
retary to Mayor McChllan, us "the
man who could do the business" for
him.
"Hussett asked m* some questions,"
testitied the witness, 'and later Igt
word to call at the home Of Johnson.
I went there and .Johnson told me
that he had done all he could do for
me and that I would have to put up
110.000."
Upon falling to put up the money,
Keith said he was passed over on eli?
gibility list. He Went to see Mr. Bing
ham to find Out Why, he said, and was
told by him that he had "the right to
promote whom he - pleased, and
that when he was eady to promote
him he would.' Keith absolved Com?
mission, r Blngham from any part in
the alleged practice of selling promo?
tions
Keith said he would have been wil?
ling to have paid $10,000 for promo?
tion. The job was not worth it, he
declared, "but you don't have to work
nights. You can get plenty of sleep."
Gen Blngham testified he had not
promoted Keith simply because he
would not make a good police captain.
