Police Tipping Scandal Ties Police to Pool Rooms
The Parkhurst society and Justice Jerome close in on a pool room tipping ring led by Edgar A. Whitney and partner Ernest Burgdorf. Whitney allegedly bribed detective Dillon to feed warnings through police headquarters to gamblers and officers, implicating Devery and other officials. Dillon’s ruse exposed a coordinated system of police and pool room collusion, with Whitney promising payments and a broad warning network. The affair, tied to the Lexow era, heightens scrutiny of the Tenderloin precinct and the central office, and the case may reveal deeper ties in New York City crime and municipal life.
