The ring of high police offi- cials and politicians negleets no source of revenue, however disgraceful, however infamous. To understand the O'Neill and all similar cases, remember this fact: always other blackmail-producing law without spectfic orders from his superiors. Of course Devery knows this. Of course he knows why Neill was being punished. ‘To say that he doesn’t is to say that the most experienced man in the Police Department in the ways of the ring is a numskull. In the light of the facts, how Iudicrous is his tirade against Veill and the Sunday laws—ludierous and worse. The worse is the fact that Devery was permitting his power as the police trial judge to be used for punishing a policeman for refusing to “give up,” for resisting a “shakedown.” Study these facts. Think how completely at the mercy of the police ring every patrolman is. Think how easy it is for the ring to get him into trouble and turn public opinion against him. And then you will understand the police situation to-day. That situation is 7,000 men—the pick of New York’s men of ical appearance—7,000 men of a high average of honesty and fidelity, used by thi strength and tine phy ring to eee. a aS ay compel the payment of blackmail of all kinds.
