Two of the men who took part in the attempt at robbery, but who have never been punished, were the first witnesses examined. One, Rafael Ciscolo, konwn as “Pish,” ‘was arrested at the time of the crime, but was turned out. The other, Joseph Bwee, eluded the police. Both have been promised !mmunity by the Dis- trict-Attorney: for thelr testimony given to the Aklermanic Committee. Both slaimed that policemen, known to them ae “Leo” and “Al,” “framed up" the Germania Bank job and then had potice- men on hand to make arrests, to the end that “Al” and “Leo” might be pro- moted to be first grade detectives. The complaint of Annie Sugar, who was robbed in her cider stube In Sixth street, that a uniformed policeman failed to chase the thieves was also taken up by the committee. “PISH” SAYS POLICEMEN PLANNED HOLDUP. “Pish” was the first witness, He told how “Al and “Leo” toll the gang of which he was @ member about a chance to get money from a woman in front of the Germania Bank, Mr. Buckner pinned “Pish" to a re- cital of the Sixth street “obj.” “Leo' and “Al,” who associated with crooks, encouraged that holdup, the witness tea- tif_ed. “But that was all a bluff,” continued the witness, ‘ ‘Leo’ was a cop, so were ‘Al’ and ‘Andy’ and we all knew it. They carried black guns and so did we. “Six of us, with ‘Leo’ and ‘Al,’ went to the Sixth street job. There came with us ‘Whitey,’ ‘Pete the Burglar,’ ‘Franko,’ Peresct’ and ‘Tony.’ The cops said the woman in the place wore monds and we could get a few hun- dred dollars. we stuck up the place and ad ‘Al’ returned with us to the Fourteenth street joint, where Wwe divided the swag. ‘Al’ got $6 between them. PROSPECTED GAMBLING JOINT ON THE WAY. “I forgot to say that on our way to the Sixth street place we stopped and looked into a ‘stuss' house—a gambling Joint—expecting to make a haul there, Dut there was no game on. I sald there was no use in taking @ chance in the Sixth street joint, because I knew there was not much money there, but ‘AY’ and ‘Leo’ forced us to go ahead.” Reverting ta the Ge ania Bank holdup, Mr. Buckner drew from the witness additional details of the al- leged complicity of the police. “But while those cops pretended to be working with us, I afterward knew that they simply suggested the jobs 90 as to frame up me and the rest of the gang,” said the witnoss, Well, ' was collared for that Ger- manila Bank robbery by ‘Andy,’ the cop who had seemed to be working with us, and afterward they got Romano, We were taken to headquarters and Commissioner Dougherty know all about the Sixth too. “He punche. hits hose, and called me not let on that I kne that Job and Dougherty wanted’ to eet robbery, me, e with a rubber “Wop, bled my nose and then he gave Romano a similar dose. “Romano and me were put on trial for the bank job, but we were acquitted because the cops led so much tn th case.
