HAS GLEANED MANY FACTS IN OFFICIAL POSITION Tells of Waldo’s Admission Nobody in Department Could be Trusted to Investigate. In order to make the John Doe inquiry into police graft a complete investigation, District-Attorney Whitman has asked Raymond D. Fos dick, who terminaied his connection with the office of Commissioner of Accounts to-day, to take an active part. It has been supposed that Mr Fosdick would aid the Aldermanic Committee. The District-Attorney, knowing that Mr. Fosdick, as Commissiongr of Accounts, gained a deep knowledge of the inside workings of the Police Department, is anxious to avail himself of that knowledge. He) plans to have Gov. Dix and Attorney-General Carmody appoint Mr. Fosdick a Special Deputy-Attorney General for the purposes of thé inquiry. This was the procedure adopted when James W. Osborne was given charge of the Ice Trust investigation. As Special Attorney-General, designated by the Governor, Mr. Fosdick would have wide powers and Mr. Whitman and his assistants might be busy with the murder trials of other matters.
