I]RANI] JURY PROBES N. Y'VIEE ARRESTS Detective Gunson’s Trial Set for| . March_@ New York, March 12.—The inquiry into vice conditions begun yesterday by the regular grand jury had not proceeded far before it became evi- dent that the Fourth Police Inspection District is about to get the most horough raking over it has had in years. Later other districts will be treated similarly. The district is bounded by Sixth avenue, the Hudson river, 42d street and 110th street and is commonly be- lieved to contain gambling houses, houses and flats of ill repute and to shelter most of the dissolute women in the city. It has long been pre- sided over.by Inspector Dominick Henry. Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith, in-charge of the investi gation, does not he is “gunnin for Inspector Henry, but it is known little -love is lost between them and the sprosecutor has said plainly he beligves the commander of the dis- trict has been guilty of neglect of duty.’ The first two witnesses before the ¢ grand jury were Chief Inspector John Daly and Inspector Thomas McDon- eld. Mr. Smith wishes it made plain that their appearance in no way re- flects upon them. They were called to provide recor f arrests by their squads and other information that ‘ymight help the prosecution. Will Get Full Vice Records. ) Chief Tnspector Daly has general charge of all districts, and Inspector 1 | McDonald heads the vice which has a roving commissidn. It pays particular attention to the Fourth Inspection District, as it has found crime most rampant there. In- spector Daly said his records would not be complete until Monday, when he will furnish them for 191§, 1919. and the first twa months of this year. Inspector McDonald gave his rec- ords to Mr. Smith before he went into the jury room, where he swore to their accuracy. The records show that in 1919 his squad made 554 ar- rests over the head of Inspector Henry in the 4th district. How many in ail were thus made will be known when Inspector Daly turns in his full list. During 1819, McDonald’s men picked up 72 women on the charge of soliciting, and Mr. Smith believes some of these, at least, enjoyed im- munity from Inspector Henry’'s men because they paid graft. Eighteen men were arrested, charged with forcing women to lives of shame, and one was arrested under the Mann act. There Were 40 violators of the Tene- ment House Act, whom Henry’s men failed to arrest; nine keepers of dis- orderly houses, and 124 crap shooters. One hundred and sixtcen men were arrested for running pool rooms. “It must be remembered,” said Mr. Smith, “that these arrests do not show the number made in the Tender- loin, by any means. The precinct po- lice and. the detectives, of course, are continually making arrests. All Sorts of Folks Subpocnaed. Subpoenas were issued yesterday by wholesale.” They call for the appear- ance of detectives. plain clothes men, hotel employes, apartment house jan- itors, cab drivers and scores of others, who, it is believed, can throw light on crime in the district. “How long do you think the inves- tigation of the Fourth District wili take?" Mr. Smith was asked. At least three months, reply. “We will first inquire into the alleged improper relations between policemen and prostitutes, and then look into ather branches of crime. squad, was the = il { any NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. FRIDAY, MARCH 12, There is no quesuon that policemen are receiving money from women of the streets, and I am confident we will be able to prove it. Men of this stamp should be sent to prison and I confidently expect some will soon be heading that way.” It became known that for several days the bank accounts of several po- lice officials have been under exam- ination. What has been shown Mr. Smith would not say. Bank accounts of several policemen also have been looked over, and it i said they showed remarkable balances in view of the salaries and the high cost of living. sunson Trial set March 19 Judge Malone yesterday set March 19 as the date for trying John J. Gunson, one of Inspector Henrys de- tectives, who was indicted on a charge of extortion and bribery. His accuser is a woman of the underworld, who has testified he lived with her and received some of her earnings. When she tried to reform, she said, Gunson urged ‘and drove her to resume he old life. In fixing the date Judge Malone announced he would grant no ajournments. “We would have proceeded with the case at an earlier date but for the fact that Gunson, in making his plea, reserved ten days in which to make motions he might desire.” said Mr. Smith. “This pcriod will not ex- pire until March 18" 1 It is expected thaf n -Special panel of talesmen will be dra.‘wu for the trial.
