tially his evidence of Tuesday morn
ing. He said his information re
garding Maloney J connection wun a
conspiracy case was obtained through

Hakes New "uling.
City Attorney Rine asked the chief
whether it had been the custom to
.have special officers work out of the
superintendent's office. ,
"I can't say that it has been."
Attorney Rine's further questioning
was to snow that it is not a new
custom for the superintendent of po
lice to have his confidential officers
reporting direct to him, rather than
to the chief Subsequent queries, how
ever, indicated that Kugel originated
the custom Jt having morals squad
men report directly to his office.
Baker quieted the chief:
."Did Ryder, when superintendent.
have a anprial mnrala annul wnrtine
independently and reporting to him?"
"I do not remember that he did."
"Since morals squad working nnder
Kugel, was anything brought to you
in that connection?' i
"Did you ever complain to Kugel
because these matters were kept from
"I did."
"Did not two sett of officers em
barrass work of the department?"
"It would."
Should Not Be Independent
"What it vour oninion of the chief
of detectives being independent of
your orders?" asked Attorney Rine,
"He should not."

, "Did the morals sqnal ever work
out of my office?" .
"Yon (aid Anderson and Sutton
would work t while. When you were
sick I gave an order to have them
report to Sergeant Russell and was
told to leave them where they were."
"The moral squad from inception
was under your direction?"

Orders Prom Jardine.
"Who told you to leave Anderson
and Sutton where they were?" asked
Baker.
"Commissioner Jardine."
"Jardine waa acting superintendent
rtf nntfr wh,n Kiifral waa afilr?"
"Yes."
Attorney Murray, fori United Im
provement Clubs, asked the chief:
"Did you make a statement that po
lice department was demoralised and
you could not maintain discipline?"
"I said something along that line."
"What did you mean?
"I don't see what that has to do
with this hearing." 1
' "There is going to be a genera in-
A partment," interrupted City Attorney
Rine.
Improvers Take t Hand.
Murray continued:
"Has Maloney been reporting to
your office during last year?"
"Some; probably not alt of the
time."
"When yoo read of this affair in
. the papera did you make inquiry
among members of your depart
ment?" ...
"I don't remembe who I spoke
to."
"Did you call on Captain Maloney?"
"I called on him through
charges."
i "Only knowledge you Bad when
yon 6 led charges was what you read
in the newspapers?"
"It was." i
Askt About Pipkin.
Murray further questioned' the
chief: .
"When Pipkin was on automobile
work in your office, did he report
stolen machines to the Omaha De
tective association or to yonr office?"
"To o-r office." '
"Did yon talk to Kugel about Ma
loney when yon fried the charges?"
Kugel replied for the chief: "I told
i the chief that the council would not
hear the charges until after the Chad
ron trirl. I think that is the reason
nothing was looked np." I
1 Sutton Telia of Chadron, "
Detective Paul Sutton followed the
chief and was Questioned bv Citv At
torney Rine: ,.
"Did yon take part In the alleged
blackmail case at Chadron? Just tell
what yon know."
"Mrs. Phelps first told me she was
going to Chadron for the Omaha De
tective association. She met Mana
ger Dolan of (he association to get'
her instructions, and when he outlined
the case she reported to me she was
I ! " : - '
positive it was a blackmail scheme;
that there was a county attorney,
Crites, and that she was to get him
ir. a compromising position; that Ty
Ice and Winckler , had been there a
month. ,
Then I reported to Kugel Sunday,
May 6. He was just out of a sick
bed and he told me to go on through
with it. I told him I thought some
of his men were in with the detective
association, but did not know then
that Maloney was connected with the
affair."
Sutton reviewed in substance the
evidence Jie offered on stand at the
Chadron preliminary hearing.
."1 wrote a letter to Crites telling
of the plot and advising him to pro
tect himself with prominent citizens
there. He Wired he would co-operate
with me and then I went to Chadron
on call of ("rites. At Chadron Mrs.
Phelps told me they were going to
get Crites that night,'' continued
Sutton.
The witness reviewed occurrences
at Chadron, showing how he oper
ated with Mrs. Phelps in the alleged
plot to compromise Crites with Mrs.
Hood or with the woman detective.
Attorney Rine: What, if anything,
waa brought out to connect Maloney
with this ca9e?"
Sutton: "When Mrs. Phelps went
back to the office of Omaha Detective
association she heard Fern Marr, the
office girl, call Maloney on phone,
heard Wolf speak to Maloney and
spoke to Maloney herself at request
of Wolf. Maloney asked Mrs.
Phelps if she was girl who was going
to Chadron. She aaid she was and
Maloney wished her luck."
Kine continued his examination of
Sutton: "Was there anything said be
tween vou and Mrs. Phelps prior to
Chadron explosion that Mrs. Hood
was connected with case?"
Finda Woman in Case.
"Not until Mrs. Phelps had gone
to Chadron. She wrote a letter that
there were two in case."
Is Wincklei an operator of Omaha
Detective association?"
"Supposed to be."
"Ia Tylee a detective?" (Laughter.)
"He is an operator."
"Do you know whether Maloney is
connected with Omaha Detective as
sociation?" "Onlr that he admitted that he save
Bessie Wilson orders to the detective
association on his own card. She was
to pay Wolf ind Dolan $150 if they
would recover her automobile at
Grand Island.'
Connecting Up Maloney,
Have yon any other information to
show Maloney was connected with
Omaha Detective association?"
I have names of witnesses. Have
more information. Mrs. Gail Gruano,
wife of saloon man at 424 South Four
teenth. She sued husband for divorce.
Her husband hired Omaha Detective
association to have wife lay down on
divorce. Maloney called wife to sta
tion and showed her papers, saying
he had a lot of stuff on her and that
if she did not lay-down on divorce he
(Maloney) would run her out of town.
That was about six weeks ago."
What else do you knowf
Wolf Give Orders.
"I objected to Wolf giving orders
to morals squad. He threatened to
get my job one night when we raided
Sam Joe's chop suey place. He called
me on phone. There were indications
mar rams vycrr oeing uppcu on. won
ordered me over phone to not raid
Sam Joe's place. I asked him what
nart he olared in police department
and he said I would find out.'
"What else?"
"We had orders to raid Havens
hotel one night.' Wolf and Pipkin
were at Sixteenth and Chicago, where
we were to meet They were with
Unger, Barta and, Walker, I would
not go to Havens hotel with Wolf,
Pipkin and Unger. Wolf teemed to
know more where we were going
than we did. Unger was working out
of Maloney's office, but not on morals
squad; Pipkin was working out on
chief's office. Captain Dempsey was
acting chief at the time. Sergeant
Russell gave orders for the raid."
Complaint to Dempsey.

"None."
"Did vou complain !'"
"To Acting Chief Dempsey and
Dempsey.
"What happened then?"
"Dempsey told Maloney to have
Unger keep away from morals squad."
"What else?"
"Dempsey sent myself and Cun-
riuiKUain 10 investigate uour-iasc
1617 Chicago street. Wolf, Unger
and Pipkin went there at 10 p. m.
that night and cut the telephone
wires. Kyder told me. i He was hired
by the government to get evidence on
dope."
Do vou know ' whether Unger,
Wolf and Pipkin knew you made raid

"Evidently not."
"What else?"
Wolf Has Police Badge.
"At 1311-13 Davenport struet Mur

and Wolf, Pipkin and Unger were
ransacking place for dope."
"Anything to make you think of
any special motive for them to get
the dope?"
"I could not just figure it out. Wolf
was not a member of the police de
partment, but he wore a badge. He
handicapped me. Nearly every time
I saw Wolf on my raids he was with
Unger and Pipkin."
"How did Wolf get a badge?"
Chief Dunn: "I will explain. When
he had charge of watchmen of A. D.
T. he was given a badge. That has
five years ago. He still has that
badge."
