9* A WEEKLY_NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO, THE HOME INTERESTS OF NORTHERN WESTCHESTER. , VOLUME II, NUMBER 25. <£ATONAH, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N; THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1914. SECTION 1, PAGES 1 TO^j^ SINGLE COPjDBS, FIVE CENTS. MCCORMICK HAS BEEN SUSPENDED Displeasure of Gov. Glynn Aroused by Superintend ent Riley's Report. DEMOCRATS ARE STUNG BY CHARGES 1 Governor Martin H. Glynn Tuesday \night directed Superintendent of Pri sons John B. Riley to suspend War den Josepii McCormick, o: Sing Stag Prison, and in the same order an nounced that no had selected Stephen Baldwin, of Brooklyn, to make an inrvestigatioin of the atorie3 Uiat Mc Cormfck had allowed David A. SullI van, Uie convict banker, of Brooklyn, unusual privileged and had tak-an him on auto rides about Westche3ter Coua ty. The recent \whitowaeh\ report inao • by Superintendent Riley, whic.i .\ins jeen held up to ridicule generally itas stung the Democratic state re gboe and its supporters in this county hard. The telegram' sent by Governor Glynn to Superintendent Riley Tues day night follows:— \Your report in the case of Josep.i McCormick, warden of Stag Sing, leads me to believe that there is need for a full and thorough investigation of t'ie case by an investigator who can devote hl3 entire attention to this matter. I have this day appointed /Stephen C. Baldwin, Baq., of the -BprougU ol Brooklyn, under the pro visions of Section 8 of the Executive law, known a-3 the Moreland Act, to .^jftprehensible, I shall, of course, X6'ok'-S) you\ to remove him. in my opinion, there are. sufficient grounds for a prima facie case to require you to suspend' Warden McCormick until further investigation and I request you to do so. , '(Signed) MARTIN H. GLYNN.\ Under the law, the Governor can not remove the warden himself, but as ho can remove Riley, his request is an order. Daniel J. Cashin, County Clerk of Westchester County, makes an abso lute and emphatic denial of toe state ment which appears in the New York papers to the effect that Mr. Cropsoy, District Attorney of Kings County, who 13 Investigating the McCormick affair, had him on the wire and that he admitted being out in an auto with McCormick and three women. Mr. Cashin says that it Is an ab solute lie without one vestige of trutn in If. He has never talked to Mr. Crop' sey in his lite over t'.ie telephone or otherwise and that ho never was with Mr. McCormick when there were one, two\ or three or any number of women present, and that the statement is as untrue as it is posible for any state ment to be. Mr. Cashin has requested the pa pers to give -publicity to the 'act as far as he le concerned. Each day's developments of the in quiry being Blade In tie conduct of Warden McCormick and Sullivan have brought fresh' scandals and recalls the attack on former Warden Ken nedy under the Sulzer administration and then the attacks on Warden Clancy when the Tammany Demo crats came into power again follow ing Sulzer's removal. The Now York Tribune said in part yesterday:— Fearing that there might be color for changes that the state administra tion, was interfering with the efforts of District Attorney Gropsey of Kings County in bis Investigation of Sulli van's life at the - prison, Governor Glynn yesterday 'instructed Superln- tendcKJ. Riley to direct John J. Mai- loy, ihe Tammany superintendent of industries at Sing Sing, to answer all questions when'he is taken before ^tne grand Jury today. From hta cell; in the Raymond Street Jail, where he Ciaa Seen Blnce Monday, MaUoy yesterday signified his willingness to. tell all be knew. When Go^jrnor Glynn arrives In N©Y York City today, lie will b« visited by a committee of the deposi tors of the Union Bank. They will demand the removal from office ot \Warden McCormick and Superinten dent-, Riley. \ . - : ,'jBY).rTtie: purpose of learning-what' JohnvB.; -Riley, Superintendent\ qf • pft sons, knows concerning the recent movements of David A. Sullivan, the wrecker of fh''e Union Bank of Brook lyn, outside foe walls of Sing Sing, A 'ssl3tant District Attorney Goldstein, of Kings County, is in Albany today. Assets of the Brooklyn savings in stitution, it is charged, were hypothe cated by Sullivan, and the former banker was enabled by the unusual 1'berty granted to him by Wardea McCormick to convert the interest while he was ostensibly .serving a prison term. When the grand jury convenes in Kings County today the Sullivan in vestigation will be resumed. Other matters occupied its attention, yes terday, but this morning one of the first witnesses to appear wjll be John J. Malloy, superintendent of the in dustrial department at Sing Sing, who was committed to the Raymond Street Jail 'or refusing to answer questions put by District Attorney Cropsey. Malloy was committed on Monday, Yesterday he was visited at the Jail by William L. Bleakley, a Yonkers atttorney, of the Arm of Brennan, Curran & Bleaklely, who advised him to satisfy the Kings County officiate, \Malloy has seen the light,\. Dis trict Attorney Crop3ey said yesterday afternoon, \and wants to tell every- Us saying he thought we should not be disappointed.\ Earlier in the day Assistant District Attorney Goldstein paid another visit to Yonkers and subpoenaed persons there to appear in court this morning. One of the witnesses before th& grand Jury thfe morning will be Pa trolman George Ford, of tie Yonkers force. He will relate how while on duty one night he was approached by Fulllvan, who inquired as to whether the policeman had seen Warden Mc Cormick and his automobile. It was after 10 o'clock in the evening, and the convict supposed he would have to return to Osslning by train. A& there would not be another train along for some time, Sullivan feared he would have to spend the night out- dlde the prison walla. Patrolman Ford, however, was able to And the warden bofore he returned to Oe3ining. Anotnor member of the Yonkers Police Department will be cn hand to substantiate Ford's story and give additional information. Further evidence that Sullivan while supposedly behind the bars at Sing Sing, was mulcting the Union Bank was put in possession of District At torney Cropsey i, yesterday. It WB3 in ttja.jform of a check for payment of \\^Wftreet oh a mortgagej^rmerly.. hejkj I byfche bank, which bore Sullivan's signature as indorsement. The check was paid by the rabbi of a synagogue ot 228 Christopher Avenue, East New York. The amount of the mortgage was $2,600 and the check was made out to Mrs. Sullivan. It bore Sullivan's signature, however, and was cashed lr fe said, by Miss Louise Burkhardt, Sullivan's secretary. When the Union Bank failed, mort gages held by the security company were assigned to Sullivan, who has since been collecting the Interest which should appear as part of the assets of the wrecked financial in stitution. It Cias been estimated that Sullivan managed to conceal in a elm. i'.ar manner more than $1,000,000 ot the bank's assets. The report to the Governor ot Su perintendent Riley, In which he ex onerated Warden McCormick ot grant ing unusual privileges to SuVUvan and raid the ex-banker was eelected to drive the Warden's car because he was the only convict at'Slng Sing fa miliar with the operation of an auto mobile, elicited a great deal of Jocu lar comment yesterday. A pedigree of all prisoners la taken by the clerk of Che court In which they are sentenced, and eent to the Warden along with the prisoner. At the prison another pedigree is taken and the man's former, occupation is learned,, for purposes of -determining; the''work to '-whlcii' Seytnay'Be most' \advantageously assigned.' \ v '< STILL NO DECISION Brewster and Mount Kisco Battle Eight Innings to Tie On Katonah Grounds. PLAY-OFF (^SATURDAY The tie that binds Brewster and Mount Kisco In a deadlock for first place ia still as lu3ty and as long suffering as ever. This time it was darkness and not dampness whic' butted in and spoiled the fun. Sat urday was about as long a day as it usually is on October 24th, but was cloudy and it was so dark that with the score 3—3 the game was called ju3t as Brewster took the field for the beginning of the ninth inning If the censor will consent to de late a few errors on both 6ides, It may be said in all truth that tne game was well played throughout. Cer tainly it was sharply contested and full of fighting spirit from start to finish and left the largest crowd ever seen on tie Lakeside Field very we>l satisfied. The work of the umpires was in the main satisfactory, althougn there were a few decisions which in voked the wrath of one band of par tisans or tlio other Garrison was detailed by Brewster to do the sia/p shooting. Tlcknor twirled for Kisco On account of the poor lignt the game re3olved Itself into a pitchers' battlo with the odds slightly in favor of the Mount Kisco entry. The batting wag light on both aides, tae work of Gates of the Mount Kisco team' being the exception to the general rule. Not only did he bat a thousand per cent, hut all of his hits came at Important stages of the game. Two three baggers, a two bagger and base on balls constituted the grand total..and in; consequence-' the - Mouut- Klgco captain wa3 the hero of the . day. The present plan is to play off the game on Lakeside Field this Saturday provided that the weather, tempera ture, light and general c.imatic and atmospheric conditions permit. It is hoped that the game may bo called at 2.30. ^ The fan3 are attending in goodly number and contributing in accord ance with their moans and some one haa expressed the opinion that if the tie is not broken pretty soon .the A CAPABLE CANDIDATE fans will be.
