WAR ON THE POLICE Lexow Committee Denounced for Shielding Byrnes. FLINCHED AT THE CRISIS lout Platt Peatidently nedieer•I I.e ssreed Gentleman Ham an Atte, k el signified Heed. after it had been read before. the execu- tive committee of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, and endorsed by that body. \In stating my position touching cer- tain questions now lying before the pub- lic mind, i cannot express myself too appreciatively for the plendid wark that has been done by the senate committee. There has been created through their inetrumentality an epoch in the history of our city, and there has been secured tit the polls a municipal revolution that would have been impossible except through their agency, or the agency of a similar kind. Lexowai committee, Goff anti his associates do not stand in need of our commendation. but it is a pleasure to accord It, and it is at -cord- ed with earnest cordiality. \We are Justified' In saying that while the committee stood up to the reek magnificently through all the other por- tions of the investigation, they flinched at the crisis. As long ago as when Moss undertook to adduce evidence against Byrnes in a direct manner, the Investigating committee sprang to Byrnes' assistance. Now, is it Mt a thing to be debated? Their attitude was instantly recognized by those In at- tendance and distinctly stated in the Journals of the next morning. The pursuit of lines that might possibly have conduced to discovery Of the real inwarnness of Byrnes' conduct arid character was discouraged-disteouralt- et', as it has been discouraged In the case of no other man. Now the pr.s• mumption is on the side of the nupertn- tendent being as criminal as any other rneniber of the force, so that hesitancy to handle him as Williams was handled could not proceed from any prior con- viction of his innocence. Wherever they have stuck In their fork they have upon the stand was not made sufficient- ly searching for practical purposes.' Parkhurst insists that Byrnes is re- sponsible for most of the corruption ex- posed by the senate committee and he Is indignant over the police captains' \Pompous vanity and self -glorification.\ as he termed it. Mayor -elect Strung Is said to hold Byrnes In high esteem and would be inclined to urge the with- drawal of the superintendent's resigna- tion, were it not for his reluctance to antagonize the Parkhurst society. It is known that Messrs. Larague, Smith. Taylor and the good government ele- ment of the committee of seventy elite - fain a cordial (Henke for the superin- tendent Moss said that Superintendent Byrnes' allegation that lie had frequently as- sisted the Lezow committee in elven- - !tending delinquent witnesses and In other ways placed himself at the ser- New York, Dee. 31 --Dr. Parkhurst to- vice of the settatorm was IleWs I.1.1 (toff t. night gave out -the subjoined statement and hin • • General Kernan. the newest member of the police board and a republican, said today the board ittad not hampered Byrnes during the period that he has been a member. NEGROES LIVES NOT PROTECTED. A Cincinnati judge Ilefttses to Release a Prisoner to kentnekians. Cincinnati, Dec. 31, --Judge Buckwal- ter today refused to surrender Rev. A. H. Hampton, alias Alexander Jackson. a colored minister, to Deputy Sheriff Perrin, of Lebanon, Ky., until he ha.1 the `assurance of Governor Brown and of the sheriff of Greetrcounty. Ky., that the man would be protected from any mob. Rev. Hampton was formerly a preacher at Whitewood, Ky., and had some words with J. C. Durham. a farm- er, in June, 1S93. because pupils were, stealing the latter's fruit. Rev. Hump - ton shot Durham, but not fatally, 111111 tied. Deputy Sheriff Perrin. a relative of Durham, last night arrested Hamp- ton while preaching at Avondale. After an exciting time he was today brought before Judge 13uckwalter on extradition papers. Hampton Raid he was indicted, but that Durham had recovered. He had been willing to go back it assured of a fair trial. He had received letters from prominent people there, warning him that his life was not safe. A colored man and a colored boy had been lynch- ed there, one for murder and the other for criminal aseault, and he would be strung up if taken back by Deputy Perrin, \I have sent two colored ,inen back lately,\ said the juage. \One to Georgia and one to Kentucky. Although the offense of the latter was only -for shooting at somebody. he was taken by a mob out of the Burlington Jail and hanged to a tree. I determined then that I would never send another pris- found rot, and whether Byrnes, be rat- liner Routh. unless I had assurance that ten or not, he has been in the rot for he would be protected from the mobs 31 years, and has been the executive and given a fair trial. I have no letter head for the rot for the last two years, from governor Brown and the sheriff live for levying blackmail. Mr. Parkhut St at this point of his statement incorporates the interview eipublished teat year with Superintendent Byrnes, In which the letter execrated Dr. Parkhurst and tacitly charged that members of the doctor's church needed more watching than did the pollee force. The statement proceeds - \Our agents, acting In the legitiniate discharge of their duties of representative.. of the society chartered by the state, were mobbed a year ego by the toughs and thugs that sprang to the relief of Byrnes and his department, when we preened them uncomfortably at the Es- to meet him.
