CHARGES POLICE PULL
Lapyer Tells Magistrate That Com
plant Vas DOctOred.

The warfare that has been going on for
time among the lawyers who practise in the York
vile police court broke out afresh yesterday when
James Nugent, leader Of one OF the factions, open
" charged that the offences named in many COM
plants fled with magistrates sitting there
regulated solely by the strength Of the pull the
defending attorney had with the policeman who
makes the arrest.
John Jay arrested Monday in Central
Park, and arraigned yesterday charge Of dis
orderly conduct. He was defended by Max Stein
ert. When the examination had been completed,
Magistrate Barlow fined Jay SO. Nugent then
pushed his way through the crowd about the rail-
ing before the court, and in a somewhat sensa-
tional manner addressed the ma gstrate, charging
that the complaint had been "dootored." Instead
Of the prisoner being charged only with disorderly
conduct, he declared, a complaint should have been
made that would have resulted in the defendant
being held for trial
This is being done every day. said Nugent
These charges are made out to suit the defending
attorney and to blind your honor, and prevent your
learning the actual facts the case. If a prisoner
has the money to obtain a lawyer the policeman
charges him only with petty offence, but if
doesn't have money he is Soaked hard and sent
to Special Sessions for trial The charge against
this man should have been much more serious. and
that it not made so is due to the fact that he
had lawyer who has a pull with the police This
is made evident in the charge against another pris
oner whom / am going TO defend"
William Miller a janitor in one Of the public
schools in The Bronx, was then arraigned, charged
was defending Miller solely that he might be able
to show up the system of graft he declared had
become rooted in the court.
Policeman Conroy. who made the arrest, became
highly indignant at Nugent's statements, and
started in to denounce the lawyer. Magistrate
Barlow stopped him
In the examination in the case Of William Miller
Magistrate Barlow referred to the charges made
by James Nugent by saying that he had no reason
believe that there any conniVance between
any Of the lawyers of the court and the park
policeman. Miller discharged. there being in
sufficient evidence in the magistrates opinion to
convict him. Later Magistrate Barlow said it was
a common thing change the complaints in some
cases from more serious offences TO disordery
duct. this seemed the most satisfactory method
for all concerned. and did not clog the calendar
in Special Sessions, would be the case were all
such offenders held for trial.
Max Steinert. who is the recognized leader of the
faction opposing Nugent and his followers said
later that he, TOO would make a few charges, and
intimated that he had numerous sensational dis
closures to make.
