He then went into a description of what he termed “the most extraordinary efficiency of Henry.” Not a single instance had been described, he said, of advertised vice—of vice which was offered as a lure to the casual pleasure seeker— of vice which could be reached except after elaborate introductions, pass- words and deliberate and consistent effort by the intending wrong doer, Judge Malone denied without com- ment the motion to dismiss. Cockran brought in the tabulated official statement which Daly had brought to court and which will be offered later, It showed that 816 ar- rests for vice had been made in Hen- 's district during his encumbency, of which 499 had been made by Hen- ry's men and 317 by Headquarters squads. + “We will undertake to show,” sald Cockran in his opening to the jury, “that conditiona between 42d and 110th Streets and from Sixth Avenue and Central Park to the North River are the best in the known world in any similar area. There is not a recognized disorderly house in it. We will bring you persons from every block and every corner in the district to prove this.” No promise was made in the ad- dress to- put Henry on the stand among the 2,660 witnesses in waiting.
