NEW YORK , Dee 15.-Captaln Creedon's
confession was time biggest sensation brought
forth by the Lexow eommttee ! . In itself
the captain's statement was merely I confirmation -
frmaton of testImony elicited before the
committee the previous day , but the startling
facts , essentially Interwoven wih this sen-
satonal exposure , atached the taint of ltS-
honor and corruption upon len who have
held some of the most responsible offices
In the gift of the .
gi conmmmiimlty But public
censure Is not heaped on Creedon's heod.
lie Is a warscarred'eteran whoso record
for thirty years wih honor ali distinction .
Ito Is A warcnrred veteran whose record
shows that In twenty-threo engagements or
the civil war he risked his life for his coun-
try. Time eaptaln's fault Is forgotten by the
popular mlud In sym\thy for his present
trying 10siton and respect for his past rec-
ord. Time day was replete wih exciting and
lramnatio Incidents In
dramotc consequence of the
I Lexow committee proceedings , throughout
the ofclol channels that bear relation to
the public departments Involved relaton In-
vestigatlon . Commissioner Sheehnn , when
, told of Creedon's statement , asked :
" .Who got the money ? "
' When told this poInt had not been fmmlly
Ieveloped , he said : "That's what' they want
to find out. I they keep up their lnvestiga-
! Investga-
ton long enough , I guess they will . "
CREEDON CONFESSES ALL.
The scenes In and around the meeting
room of the commltre In the old Tweed
court house were Intensely dramatc ammd 1
sensational. Jen were moved hy passions
and emotions they hall never felt before
The court room was fled with representative
representatve
citizens who were desirous or hearing the
testimony. The captain hod sold emi the wit-
ness stand that he had paid no money for his
captnlncy. . But alter Captain Schmltberger hs ,
who , Is under Indictment , refused by advice
ot his counsel to answer a question , Creedon
was , allowed on opportunity to tel the truthm
lie told It. He had been reared In that
part of Ireland where the role of an Informer -
former was deemed the most despicable ot
human eharacters ; he had preferred to sacrI-
flee himself rather thnn implicate those
whom he said were his friends , but he had
thought the mater over during the night
and decided to tel all he know The wit-
Iess splte slowly with downcast eyes. He
w s moved by conflicting emotions and the
sympathies of his auditors went out to the
whie-haired vei ran. In a straightforward ,
though shame-faced manner , he told how
ho had risen from the position of patrolman
to a sergeant. How at last a captaincy
was offered him for money. The expenses
of educating his eight chidren had been
very heavy and he wonted the position of
eapCaln with its increased emoluments.
But be had submitted the matter to his
frIends. They raised the money The
amount necessary to secure the appoIntment
was $15.000 , because Sergeant Wigand had
offered $12,000. His frIends , Barney Rourke
and John Ieppenhagen , secured the money
ostensibly on , his notes. lie had paid the
money to ex-Assemblyman John J. Martin .
I was his understandIng that the funds
went to Police CommIssIoner Voorimia now
police justice.
The conclusion of Captain Creedon's testimony -
tmony was followed by an Impressive pause .
Then Mr. Gal apologized for puse.
captain the unpleasantness he had experi-
enced Tears suffused Creedon's eyes. 1
sympathetic tremor , ran through. the audi-
ence. , .
. : . , COPLIMENTED DY GOFF. J
- "And , " continued ! r. Gaff , "It 15' the
unanimous opinion of this committee that In ,
view of the splendid services yoU have re4.
dered to your country and to the communl - ,
the publc Interests will not be subserved 1y
dtsturblng you In your position as police ca _
taln. " 'I . .
Then there was a burst or applause su h
as no man could stop. Captain Creed n
arose. i He looked straight ahead Tea s
fled hh eyes , and his race twitched wI h
emotion. Then each member of the co -
mitten amid Counsels Goff , Jerome and Mo s
shook his hand warmly. There ' was anoth r
burst of applause , and Captain Creed n
w4lked from the court room cryIng. Me .
trembling with pentup feelings , grasped h s
hand In sympathy. _
Then J. H. W. Reppenhagen testified th time
he handle the money. lie was given t e
money . and In turn he handed gven . 0
to' "Honest" John Martin for the $0.0 f
Commissioner Voorhis lie kept the remaitm- !
lag $5,000 for himself. lIe was the go-
between , 'Reppenhagen swore Voorhi led I
hd said be did not get the money. Mr. Gel
said ho had subpoenaed Martin , but word had
core that that Individual was suffering with
naralysla ' . : I
' It ; : vas durIng the afternoon session that
Mr. Golf first learned of Captain Creedoq'a
suapeimsion The committee became excltqd.
. "Subpoena : all time commissioners , " yele
Senator Bradley . . I
The ' subpoenas were issued
, 'I looks as though the men who tel the
truth .are to be suspended by the police
board , " sold Senator O'Connor. I
"it Is abomimmable " was Senator Lexow's
verdict . . , I
AGREED TO REINSTATE \ iIM.
Everyone spoke at once. Indignation pre-
' vaiied. 'The subpoena otcers soon performed
their work , and Commissioner Martin assume -
sume the witness stand. He had not
known that the committee was desirous of
retaining Captain Creedon. or he would have ;
done otherwise. . He hind voted for Creedon's 1
suspension , upon the recommendation of
Superintendent Jlyrncs. Martin saId he was '
desirous of working In harmony with the
commitee In purifying the police depart-
ment. lie promised to do all In lila' power to
restore Creedon.
Then there was more applause , which was
increased by the appearance of Superintendent
Dyres. He said Creedon'mm case was different -
ent from thot.of. . . other accused police cap-
tains. When Creedon was appointed he
swore that ho had haiti no money to secure
the appointment. Time superintendent had
recommendell the suspension because of
Creedon's perjury , anti because Crcdon had
acknowledged his guilt before the committee
But ! r. Byrnes also promised to do al In
his power to obtain Creedon's restoration .
Time aullence applauded the superintendent.
The commitee adjourned until Tuesday to
avoid al of the apXIOUi speculation beIng indulged -
dulged In as to the next slop In thIs startling
expose.
Polee Justice Voorhis , who Is now one of
the most talked of len In New York , has
denied In tote the allegations made against
hll < before the senators. Sold he : "Heppen-
hagen never spoke one word to mo In
Creedon's behalf. I have never received
from Creedon , either directly or indirectly . or
from any other member ot the police force ,
one penny for any Influence I may have exerted -
erted , " and the justice laughed scornfully .
"t mlgbt add , " sold he. "that the morn-
lag Creedon was allpolnted J Ilad an Inter-
view with him In time presence of President
Martn , 1 asked him If hb had used or
caused to b used any Improper irmftuence .
Ito declared he had not "
Another feature of this day or sensations
which was generally dIscussed on the streets ,
was Mr. Golf's invitation to lebord Croker
to appear before the committee and deny
the charges made agaInst him. Mr. Golf
referred to testimony given by Moran , the
tugboat owner , about payment of money to
RIchard Croker "Now , " said Mr. Golf , "it
Mr. Croker would hike to clear himself of
this charge of extortion we will be very
glad t have blm appear and vindicate 111m-
"
self.
Mr. ( loft Bald the only reason why lie had
not subpoenaed Mr. Croler was because he
mIght refuse to appear on time ground that lie
Is In .no way connected with the police de-
partment. Icbard Croker was asked Ir be
would accept Mr oor'l invitation to appear
before the committee. "I did not know that
any chargel bad been made against me "
. " " tbere's to
Bald Mr. Croker "No nothing

release of time suspension of the aptain mmd
the other called for a conference between the
president of time police board and Chairmnan
L.exow of the senate committee concerning
Creeden's case and other matters. Coni-
missioner Sheehan cast the only vote against
time first resolution , the second being carried
unanimously. it was the genral understand-
lag at police lmcadquarters timat Superintend-
eat Byrneswas alone responsible for Captain
Creeclon's suspension at time executive session
of the poilco baird yesterday. ' It. is known
that the cimlef was bitter against time captain
from time moment lie imeard that Creedonhad
confessed time payment of time money. Superintendent -
intendent Byrmies said today : "I imave as
yet said nothming of the course I shall pursue -
sue toward any one , eltimor directly or mdi-
rectiy. It is not for me to override the police
conmmnissioners. Anythimmg that I shall do
shall be in time nature of holding an investi-
gatlomm as to whetlme there are other officers
of timis kind in time city ; and , if so , who they
are. " .
MADE A CLEAN BREAST OF IT.
Justice Voorhies reiterated today his tie-
idais of yesterday and added that ho did not
