Some Washington Detectives. SERIOUS CHARGERS MADR AGAINST THM From the New York Sun, to-day. Wasntnoton, Nov. 21.—The almost untuterrupt- ed success of the operations of monte men in Washington has beer long the cause of uncom- pilmentary comment upon the detective force of ue city. Until recently hardly a day passed but some unsuspecting granger was fleeced. The ground of operations was originally at Arlinzton, Virginia, whither the victla waa by a bogus “guide” to see the soldie! tery and the Lee manston. Bul. the irginia authorities led to the eb Neld. The arsenal grounds, which are shady retreats, were then Selectel by the si lera” The vietim was enticed there by the under the pretense of seeing the grav Surratt. When his money gave out a fictitious policeman would appear on the scene. The monte man would then run In one direction and the frightened granger in another, frequently lament- ing the loss of his watch as well as his money. About six months ago two monte men, John H. Murphy and Charles O-Leary, were arrested Dy the police. Both are native Washingtonians, re- | pectably connected. They were tried by Judge | Wylie in the Criminal Court. Murphy was sens teicea to six, and O'Leary to three years in the | penitentiary. ‘Their counsel took an appeal, which is now pending, and will be acted upon soon. One Of the effects Of Judge Wylle's decision was the immediate cessation of the Iaonte game in Wash- ington; anotver Is an astonishing revelation of the methods of some of the members of the me- h detective force or the city. During hi h O'Leary prepa n Statement of his ex- riences with the detectives and violators of law. le says he owed the unmol to the dete his receipts. Th some time, and that ce 3 beneficial to htm in such emergeney, O'Ls day conceived the project of finding out whether the detectives “divviel” exclusively with members of his own profession. He was somewhat startled to find that what the detectives received from monte Men Was a mere bagatelie compared with the harvest he alleges they reaped from the myste. rious robberies that have taken place In Washing- ton during the past three years. Outside the halls of Congress Washington ts well known not to be the resort of professional thieves. O'Leary claims that certain members of the detec live force, through a stool pigeon, secured the ser- vices of ‘professional Uileves from New York. Among the robberies they committed were the Giamonds of ex-Senator Christiancy, from the ional hotel; a large sum of money from the rnment Printing Office, unter Defrees’ ad- ministration, which Was subsequently made good by a special appropriation of Congress; silks from Burdette’s dry goods store In 7th street tents of the safe In Stott’s drug store; money from the office of Fitch, Fox & Brown; bonds from the Natlonal Metropolitan bank and various articles from private residences. The directors of the National Metropolitan bank pald $5,000 to the detectives’ stool pigeon, and got back their bonds; but no arrests were made, Bill Woodyard, the proprietor of a policy shop in Washington, ‘until recently had been paying | the detectives a part of his receipts for protection. | Finding that his policy writers were arrested, and | that the detectives did not fulfi their promises of protection, he discontinued paying them. They threatened him, and he defted them. He charges that they then ‘connived with the manager of the Opposition policy shop, which ts supported by the lottery, for revenge. By an Frangement with the accredited New York agency of the lottery, they put up a jo. to bankrupt hi Playing policy 18 the favorite pastime of proba. bly half the ‘negro population of Washington. They invest their money on certain combina- ton: Jail destznated as “money row,” “emancipation | Tow,” and other rows with seductive titles, Woodyard says that the owner of the opposition policy shop became familiar with the rows most patronized by his Ethiopian customers, and had the drawings so manipulated by the lottery peo- ple as to cause him a loss of about $3,000 ina single day, and previously other losses amountiog two about $2,000. We ard was formerly in the monte business, and, like O'Leary, had familiar. ized himselt with the transactions of the detec- tives. He corroborates the story told by U'Leary. A short ume ago the friends of 0” =f and | Murphy, bejieving their statement, employed coms tent counsel to- investigate it. ‘The result of the Investigation was laid before John W. Thompson, president of the National Metropolitan bank, who, with other victims of the robberies, consf{dered the subject of such importance that they guve It their immediate and earnest attention. They ac- cumulated other evidence, and are becoming con- vinced that O’Loary’s statement is substantially true. Other charges against the detectives un- doubtedly will be added to those made by O'Leary | and Murphy. The whole affair is expected to cui- minate In an investigation which will be begun in a few days. LIRUT. ECKLOFF DENIES. “Tsay it’s all a lie, made out of whole cloth,” ex- claimed Lieut. Eckloff, of the detective force, after Teading the Sun's article, which was shown him by aSrarreporter. “If,” he continued, “any man of the force ever got anything from thievesI know nothing about it,and I don’t think this thing could go on without my finding it out.” The lieutenant then went on to give an account of the diMculties that had been found in the way of con- vicuing the three card monte men.
