HUNT FOR WITNESSES
nxpomro In court ot nllcgcl politic
methods tis"d to Intimidate policemen In
downtown wards Into voting nnd working
for the Vnro faction was planned today by
tho flvo policemen of the Second nnd Chris
tian directs station who on Tuesday were
recommended for dlsmlsnl by tho Police
Hoard of Inquiry In connection with tha
theft of macaroni nnd cheeso from a lire
swept store. Tho enso will bo tnken to
court, they declare.
Tho disappearance of tho mncaronl nnd
cheese wbh used as n club to punish them
for their political friendship toward antl
Varo forces and ns a warning to others. Is
tho charge mndo by two of tho policemen,
Tlenmrd J. Currnn and Chnrles A. I.nppe,
acting as spokesmen for tliQt other three,
Jnincs n. Chestnut, Albert Hall nnd Georgo
'cflrand. Their dlsmlssnl was recom
mended In spite ot the fnct that tho logical
prosecutor failed to nppear at tho hearing,
tho policemen said.
"Becauso they Know wo wouldn't voto
for Charley ltoncy tho Vares began to pull
wires backward and forward on this larceny
caso," Currnn and Iappo say. "Wo wcro
unjustly treated, and when wo tell our story
In court wo'Il show how tho sntno thing
was pulled on 11 or 15 other men In the
Third Ward whp wcro fired from city Jobs
beciuso their politics didn't suit tho Vares."
Itepresentatlvo Charles J. llonry, Jr., Is
Independent cnndldnto for re-election to rep
resent tho Third District, which Is mado
up by tho Third, Fourth nnd Fifth Wards.
Tho theft occurred In tho store of Antonio
Mnrono, at 741-710-748 South Seventh
street, on tho night of Juno 3, and the hear
ing of tho five policemen was held five weeks
ago.
"Tho hearing would hnvo been a Joke
If It hndn't been so serious for us," said
Currnn. "Kvery thing was trumped-up. Or
dinarily such a caso wouldn't get nny
further thnn tho lieutenant. Hut they were
determined to get us, nnd get us good. Tho
hearing was postponed thrco times becauso
they couldn't get witnesses to testify against
us. liven thrents of nrrost by detectives
couldn't produce nny witnesses. Mnrono,
who ought to bo tho prosecutor, says we're
all right nnd thnt ho hasn't nny kick against
us I've been a policeman for IE years and
havo seven children, and I don't IntenH to
stand for It." Chestnut Is In tho same boat
with us In the Third Ward, nnd Hall In
tha Twenty-sixth nnd LeGrafld In tho
Uleventh."
Curran and Lappe feel that tho result
of tho trial has beejn especially unfair to
them. Inasmuch as, according to them, they
could not bo connected with tho theft.
MARRIED WOMEN SOLD
INTO "WHITE SLAVERY"
Investigation of Vice Trust Shows Wide
Scope of Its Activities
NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Wives havo been
sold to Now York white slavo agents -by
their own husbands and led Into lives of
Immorality, Assistant Dlstr'ct Attorney
Smith said he hadjearned today from wit
nesses In tho Grnnd Jury investigation of
tha vlco trust now In progress.
"We have testimony from white slave
agents themselves thnt men hard pressed
for money, and seemingly lacking all Ideas
of morality, "liave come to them nnd begged
that 'work' bo given their wives In dis
orderly resorts," wild Smith. "In one In
stnnco I know of tho husband was actually
giateful to the white slaver who -placed his
wife In a resort."
To avoid poss bio chances of discovery
tho vlco truht organized a string of disor
derly houses In New York and nearby
States, chitting girls from ono town to an
other when tho police became active.
The present Investigation, Smith said,
Is producing more and more evidence each
day of collusion between white slavor3 and
members of the police forca who had black
mailed and extorted protection, money from
both the white slave agents and their vic
tims. At tho close of thepresent Investiga
tion, Smith eays, he will press charges
against other police ofrlnlals besides those
already under arrest.
