“idk | SAYS BINGHAM THINKS POLICE _ ALL CROOKS Ex-Deputy Mack Declares Commissioner an Ig- norant. Tyrant. DEMORALIZING THE MEN Force Treated Without Re- gard to Its Intelligence or Honesty. “My trouhl: sald former Deputy Po- ice Commissioner Mack to-day, “was that I thought toc much of the New ‘York Police Department. “I resigned because I could not main- tain my self-respect and treat policemen as though they were chattels. While I am not a born New Yorker, 1 consider myself New Yorker, because since I have lived here I have interested my- self in the life of New York and hay? done all I could, in my modest way. to advance the city's interests. “I went fnto the Police Department determined to do all I could in the direction of making {it a branch of the municipal government of which the etty might feel prowd. I left the Police Department because the man at the head of it knows ebsolutely nothing bout New York, about the people of New York, their inclinations, their en- Joymemts, their necessities. If you should happen to ask him where North ‘Willfam street branches off from Will- fam street he would have to call for help. “Hight here and now I want to say that this interview through Tne Even- ing World is my last word, unless jn the future my honor be attacked or my integrity questioned, 1 have tuld of my connection with the Police Department in detatl, but there are a few points 1 want cleared up.

If Commissioner Bingham has his way, he will kill ambition tn police officers and utterly demoralize the police or- ganization. “A policeman in the third grade found guilty of an offense and fined pay will never be able than $2 year. In. the a policeman receives $1,400 should fine a policeman who has been on the force only six months fifteen days’ ¥ for a minor offense, I would virtually condemn him to a fine of close to $10.00, provided he remained ‘on the force tor twenty years—long enough to secure him his ‘pension.

When lined up before the Magistrate Archer changed the charge to burglary, and Healey was held In $500 ball for the Grand Jury. He was sent back to tho pen and Archer left the court-room. During the excitement attending the discovery of the escape of Wilson some court clerk ran across the papers in the vagrancy charge against Healey and he was sent for, When arraigned {t was discovered that the complainant was not in court and Healey was dis- charged.
