INFLUENCE IS REQUIRED. FRIENDLESS MEN IN A SEW YORK POLICE COURT. Police Justices Wlio Zre Despots Some Instances of Thei* Stupidity—A Justice Who Punishes Others for an Offense He Himself Conmits—Tricks to Deceive the Public-Political Influ ence Gave the Justi:es Their Solt Berths. New York, Oct. 8. —Tlere ai r eleven Po lice Justices in New Yon. Their duties are to examine into the imocence or guilt of jiersons charged with ;ho commission of offenses against the law. It the lower grades of offenses, such as druntenness and dis orderly conduct, they aie given a wide range of powers. The,' can either dis charge, fine, or send tin prisoners to the penitentiary. In all ether cases they are compelled to hold the prisoners for trial at a higher court if they teem them guilty; if not, they can discharge them. Such, at least, are the regulatims framed for their government. By that- own construction their powers are far prater, as will be seen later on. , With two exception-, they ate men of lit tle education, small abilities, and less discre tion. They owe then offices to political in fluence, and, before they obtained them, were men little suptxßed to have the talent necessary for ilecidinj upon the liberties of their fellow-citizens. Ten out of the eleven are district political tenders. In some re spects they wield a .remen 'o;is pow< r, and that it should be in the hands of suen per sons is one of the crying shames of our city government. Here are there names and their previous occupations: Solon B. Smith, subpoena server: JamesT. Kilbreth, lawyer; Daniel O’fteilly, car conductor and police officer; John J. Gorman, manufac turer of gunpowder kegs; Maurice J. Power, stonecutter, the manufacturer of metal statuary; J. Henry Fcrd, bookkeper; Henry Murray, police officer; Patrick G. Duffy, (many years ago) School Principal: Andrew J. White, fertilizer business; Charles Welde, saw mill owner; Jacob M. Patterson, pork butcher. The first two are men supposed to be capable of interpreting the law. In deference to this knowledge they are al lowed to sit in the Court of Special Sessions, a higher court of justice, where their pow ers are also wider. With the possible ex ceptions of Duffy and Ford, the others are illiterate and ignorant of the laws. Duffy, although once a Principal of a public school, is accustomed to such strange and capricious action as to have made him the subject of much comment among prominent politi cians. His generous indulgence in the flow ing bowl is said to be the cause of this. Al though popular rumor says he is a lawyer, he has never given much evidence of his knowledge. JUSTICE DUFFY. Not long ago he sat on the bench of one of the New York police courts when two policemen entered the court room with a prisoner. The wrists of the latter'were manacled. His eyes were bloodshot and blood was flowing from a wound on the top of his head, where one of the policeman’s clubs had laid open his scalp. The police reporters who had crowded around at first, thinking that here was perhaps another case of police outrage, turned away. They recognized in the prisoner one of New r York’s toughs and felt that his punishment had been well deserved. The prisoner was a member of the gangs that make the North river in the neighborhood of the crooked streets that once formed Greenwich village unsafe to passers by. Ho was an ex-con vict, had committed innumerable thefts and assaults, and had twice barely escaped mur der. “Why was such a scoundrel allowed at large?” cried the indignant Jitstice. Well, he had a pull, so the policeman said, with a smile. Every time he was arrested certain saloon keepers who stood in with the gang used their influence with their political friends to get him off. It w'as only when his crime was of such an egregious charac ter as to take the power of discharge out of the hands of the Justice and the latter was compelled to hold him for trial that he stood in any danger of imprisonment. In the present instance he had beaten a young woman, his mistress, liecause she did not furnish him with money enough to work the growler. The woman was badly injured, but refused to mak9 a complaint. The po lice bad therefore arrested him for disorder ly conduct and had been compelled to use tneir clubs frequently in the attempt to sub due him enough to get him court. The Justice was loud in his denunciation. “You miserable wretch!” he cried, ‘‘what tlo you mean by such vile conduct? You have had immunity from your crimes long enough. There is no power on earth which will induce me to let you go, and you may as well understand that at once. No jgilitie al pull will aid you this time. You will find that the rights of honest citizens will be protected in the court every time, and the low-lived rascals like yourself will re ceive their just punishment, too. You will spend the next six months on the island." The J ustice did not get over his burst of virtue for fully half an hour. When he had disposed of all the business and was ready to leave the court, he indorsed on the hack of the commitment papers with a great flourish this notice to his fellow-jus tices: “He is a mean, miserable scamp—beats a poor woman when she refuses him money. Not to be discharged for any one.” The next morning a discharge for the prisoner in Justice Duffy's handwriting, was sent down to the prison, and in a few minutes after the morning session of the court liegan the lough, whom the Justice had properly desribed as “a mean, misera ble scamp,” was once more free. Such is Justice Duffy, popularly known as tho Lit tle Judge. The rich, who can employ counsel To pro. toot their rights, do not suffer from the al most despotic power that the Police Justices arrogate to themselves, but the poor and ig norant do. To them the Police Justice is omnipotent. His word is law’ and they meekly bow to bis orders. The only check on the Justice in sucli coses is the presence of the newspaper reporters, whom he fears. here these gentleman are conscientious and determined to do their duty regardless of consequences, the Justice holds himself m curb and his infractions of the rights of the prisoners are of so petty a nature as to make it impracticable for a newspnper to devote space to their condemnation. Un fortunately, some of the reporters are not very enthusiastic and do not desire to rouse the enmity of tho Justices and their hench men. In such eases outrages upon the rights of citizens are frequent occurrences. A Police Justiceship is one of the softest uf the many downy political berths in New York. Once appointed (the lucky man can not lie removed neforo the expiration of his term of office—ten years—unless he is im peached by the General Term of the Su preme Court; and such an impeachment is as likely as Blaine's falling in love with Cleveland, Tho salary is JB.OOO a year and only a small portion of the Justice’s time is occupied. Few of them sit more more than four hours a day and every third week is vacation week. Besides that, although nominally they have no vacation, each man ages to get one or two months every sum mer. In fact so little of their time is taken up by the judicial work that nearly all have other employment. Two practice law, one has a contract for disposing of the city’s of fal, one is in the coke business, one owns a saw mill, and one owns large machine works. ||| ill i H'l If !r y JUSTICE MURRAY. Henry Murray, once a policeman, gives preference to the word of a policeman now when compared with that of a civilian. He has a high and extremely erroneous idea of the powers of the police and the Police Jus tices. Some time ago a park policeman ar raigned a respectable-looking young man before him. The officer charged his prisoner with assault. He said he was going into the park with a young girl not over lt> years old, at 9 o'clock at night. He suspected him of some evil purpose and asked the young woman how old she was. There upon, he alleged, the prisoner set upon him suddenly, threw him into the bushes, and beat him. With the usual discipline that controls the park police, another officer who, if was afterward shown, had been in the police station at the time, corroborated the above statement. The prisoner was not a person to be so easily cowed down, however. By several respectable witnesses he proved that the po liceman had assaulted him without cause before he turned around, and gave him, what he had not expected, a thrashing. The policeman had also insulted the young worn an, who produced her marriage certificate showing that she was the wife of the pris oner and 20 years of age. Nevertheless, to the surprise of everybody, including the policeman, who had begun to get fright ened, Justice Murray, in his wisdom, placed credence in the story of the officers and re manded the indignant young husband back to prison, to languish there until his trial came on or he was fortunate enough to se cure bail. It is not probable that Murray ever inten tionally made a wrong decision, but, like most ignorant men, he has a great opinion of his own cleverness, anil usually trips up on it. Unfortunately, he has not the can dor to own up to a mistake, even though convinced of it, and obstinately glories in his blunders. He is universally known as the woman lover, not that lie shows any liking for any of the women who come be fore him, for he is a model husband and father, but he has the idea that women are always in the right and that men are always the brutes indignant women proclaim them to be. However probable a man’s evidence may be, therefore, the woman’s is always given precedence by Justice MurAy. While bn general principles this may be very chivalrous and romantic, it does not work very weli in a police court. Murray likes to be considered polite and gentlemanly, and well-dressed men, who appear to be influen tial and respectable, can easily obtain an audience from him. With the ordinary rough element that frequent the police courts he is very severe and sometimes ex presses his condemnation in harsh lan guage. Probably the two most obstinate Justices are O’Reilly and Gorman. The former would make a model appearance as the pro prietor of a corner groggery. Both base their decisions on their feelings, with great disregard for the law, and are exceedingly impressed with a sense of their shrewdness and perspicuity. Nothing pleases O’Reilly more than to squelch some police court shys ter lawyer, right or wrong. In a case where the prisoner had been a carver in the Murray Hill Hotel and was charged with using his knife on a companion, causing death,O'Reilly refused to allow the prisoner's counsel to ask the most ordinary questions of witnesses. He construed the law govern ing such examinations with so much obvious error that Assistant District Attorney Parish, who was present at the time, felt constrained to interfere. The J ustice finally refused to notice even this interference, anil in a high-handed manner restricted the counsel’s cross-examination of witnesses to fifteen minutes. The counsel refused to be bound by any such condition and requested an adjournment. “You’ve got to do it,” shouted O’Reilly. “I’ll make you do it.” A J.WHITE | up wA JTSTICE WHITE. The next day the prisoner was taken out of his jurisdiction by means of a writ of habeas corpus. A speedy trial was ob tained and the prisoner’s innocence estab lished beyond a doubt. Had it not been for the persistency of his counsel he might have languished in jail for months await ing trial, tor O’Reilly had refused to take bail. I once saw Gorman, who is a Tam many Hall leader, act in a manner which would do credit to the Czar of all the Rus sias. A man was brought before him charged with an unnatural crime. He pro tested his innocence and there were no wit nesses to corroborate the testimony of tin; policeman who made the arrest. The pris oner was well dressed and appeared res pee table. He baii at leant the right to stand trial for his alleged offense. But Gorman thought he saw here an opportunity for the display of great sagacity, and despite the protests of the prisoner and his counsel, he ordered the officer to make a complaint charging the prisoner with being a vagrant without any visible means of support. That put it in his power to send him to Black well’s Island workhouse for any term not exceeding twelve months. As the prisoner had plenty of money and offered to pro duce evidence that ho had a great deal more, the charge was preposterous. The next day the prisoner was sot free under habeas cor pus proceedings. Frequently when there is reason to believe that the prisoner w“l not lie convicted at a higher court, and for some reason the Jus tice is angered at the prisoner, be will have the complaint made so as to bring it within his own jurisdiction and then deals with THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1887. him as he sees fit. A poor, ignorant man would have to suffer in silence. Many do, and it isnotat all surprising that they comeback to the world from their prisons embittered with society and the laws that sustain it. A great deal of option is given to the Po lice Justice in judging of the guilt or inno cence of a prisoner. The result is that many guilty ones escape and many innocent per sons languish for a long time in prison. It is not so fault of the law as of the persons who have btfeii selected to adminis ter it. Perhaps when the terms of some of those who are now in expire better men will be put in their places. It is doubtful, though, for political influence rules the nominations as much now as before. Justice Andrew White is probably the most influential of the Police Justices. His woalth and his position as a leader of the County Demcracy make him so. Ho spent, according to political rumor, a small for tune in the attempt to become Sheriff. He is partner with his brother in the contract which makes odorous Barren Island a rest ing place for decaying carcasses of horses, dogs, cats, and so forth. It is worth $500,- 000 a year to him alone. In appearance he is the ideal English butler. He looks upon the public with supercilious contempt, and is even more dictatorial than his fellows. Ho is always late, from a half to an hour or two, and frequently three hours. His friends and boon companions are jxiliticians, and in their opinion “Andy White” is a good fellow. He is very circumspect in his man ner of granting them favors, but he does it as much as any of the Justices. He holds more star chamber examinations than any Justice on the bench. From these all but the part les chiefly concerned are excluded. I remember a case of that kind where the complainant was a large wall paper manu facturer, who charged a woman with an noying him. The man’s character was any thing but good. His wife had secured a di vorce from him, and the prisoner had been arrested on a charge of conspiring with his wife against him. The prisoner said that she and his divorced wife had followed him and watched him go into a house with a young woman. He had threatened her witli his cane when lie came out. The man was very wealthy and the woman was poor. His word, in spite of his known character, was believed, and hers was not. She was ordered to promise to keep away from him, but refused. She was locked up for disor derly conduct. Every possible precaution was taken by the Justice and his clerks to prevent the facts from leaking out, but they wore made public nevertheless. His conduct during the recent raids on saloons that kept open on Sunday was a parody upon justice. After locking up the offenders who were brought lief ore him on Sunday morning he would leave the court room and walk through the side door of a saloon only a few doors away. There, in a private room, behind drawn curtains, he would sit with some of his cronies drinking champagne. Nor was this an infrequent oc currence. To my own knowledge it oc curred four times. When Larry O'Brien, the politician and sjiort, recovered from the effects of the stab bing by Gambler Truman, both were taken before Justice White in the Harlem Court. The programme had been arranged before liana. Each refused to make a complaint. White’s duty was to order the policeman who made the arrest to swear to the facts cither of his knowledge or belief. Instead he discharged O’Brien and held Truman in S7OO bail for having a dirk knife in his pos session, a slight offense for which he was finally fined a paltry sum. I could go on forever if space and time would allow and show hundreds of ways in which those appointed to enforce the laws evade and outrage them. I could describe Justices Patterson, who is reputed to nurse his enmities forever and who has frequently been called to account by the newspapers; Welde, a well-meaning but not always cor rect man, and Power, a slow-going but shrewder man than the others with a whole some dislike for the police. Some time ago an atttompt was made to have a law passed by the Legislature mak ing it imperative for Police Justices to be lawyers. It was a step in the right direc tion. Its failure shows the influence of the present Justices with the politicians. Charles J. Rosebault. “Now, General, you’re posted; come, £iv© us your views.
