STORY OF AN APOLOGY \ ‘First Deputy Said to Have Been Forced by Ma} Gaynor to Make It. yor A certain police official of some Im- portance sald to-day that Clement J Driscoll has not been asked to resign from the position of First Deputy Com- missioner of Police and has no Inten- tion of resigning. From other sources it was learned that young Mr. Driscoll will be out of the Police Department | within a short time—probably two | weeks, It is customary for police officials to deny that they are going to resign or have been asked to quit. The case of Mr, Baker is so recent.as to render tur- ther reference unnecessary. Mr. Driscoll, referred to by Mayor Gaynor as a “steam engine in boots,” made the mistake of blowing off steam. In an interview given out recently he declared that no person related to him | wae ever engaged in the business of gambling in this city, and announced of the news that Lieut. Cody, the chief of Driscoll’s vice squad, was spending vacation of ten days in Florida, Com- aint had been lodged with the Mayor by lors that they had paid protec- tion money to Cody and that he had raided them. Soon after his appointment Mr. Dris- coll began to run wild in the Police De- partment. He arrested women on the streets and prosecuted them in the po- lice courts, he personally headed rald- ing parties in attacks on gambling | houses and disorderly houses, and he promulgated the rule that a policeman in uniform must be stationed inside every disorderly house or gambling house after a raid. The unfortunate policemen detatled to this degrading duty wore immediately christened “Willy Rileys.” To the po- lice mind it was more desirable to act ‘as a “shoo-fly” and spy on brother offi. cers than to act as a “Willy Riley.” ‘The “Willy Rileys have been with- drawn, It is stated in behalf of Mr. Driscoll that the reason for the with- was the abandonment of the ses In Which they were stationed by disorderly persons and the change of the occupancy to legitimate business.
