JUDGE FLAYS JEROME FOR
ACTS BEFORE GRAND JURY

New York City.-Practically ac-
cusing District Attorney Jerome Of
willful intent to evade the law and to
mislead the Grand Jury, Judge Ro-
saisky, in General Sessions, dis
missed the contempt proceedings
which Jerome had brought against
Paul D. Cravath, counsel for Thomas
F. Ryan. Cravath had refused to
tell the Grand Jury what had passed
between him and Ryan in connection
with the sale of the Wall and Cort-
landt Street Ferries Railway Com
Dany's franchises to the Metropolitan
Securities Company by Anthony N.
Brady through William G. Whitney.
BY that transaction about S715,000
in excess of the amount Brady
charged for the franchises was drawn
from the treasury of the Metropoli-
tan Securities Company and divided
up among Whitney, Ryan, P. A. b.
Widener, William L. Elkins, Thomas
Dolan and Moore & Schley, bankers.
The bankers said the amount they re-
ceived was used to wipe out An in
debtedness which was on their books
against Whitney.
Cravath refused to tell the Grand
Jury anything about the conversa-
tions which had passed between MIN
and Ryan in relation to that DEAL
He contended the communications
were confidential as between counsel
and client. A rule to show cause
why he should not be punished for
contempt was issued against him, and
the president of the American Bar
Association and the president Of the
New York State Bar Association ap-
peared in his defense. Judge Rosal-
sky upholds the contention of Cra-
vath and his lawyers, and In doing SO
deals to Jerome such scoring as per-
haps no other District Attorney ever
received from the bench. He inti-
mates, seemingly, that Jerome's gen.
eral intent was to have invalid in
dictments found against Thomas F.
Ryan, who seemingly was the GRIM
inal in the case, if there was any
criminal. Not only that, but he dis
charges the Grand Jury from fur
ther consideration of the case because
of the doubtful validity OF Jeromes
entire procedure. To repair the dam
age he says Jerome has done, Juoge
Rosalsky directs that a new Grand
Jury shall take hold Of the case, ana
expresses the hope the District Attor-
ney in this new proceeding will nnd
the guilty person or persons.
In view of Judge Rosalsky's excor-
iation of District Attorney Jerome
for the manner in which he conducted
the examination Of Thomas F. Ryan
before the Grand Jury, on which the
prosecution failed to secure an indict-
ment, the removal of Jerome Is de-
manded.
The New York World, Democratic,
which supported Jerome in the recent
election, says:
Conduct like this on the part OF
District Attorney warrants MS in
slant removal"
The New York Press, Republican,
which also supported Jerome, says:
ION the showing made by the count
alone Jerome is proved to be unit for
tie Office of public prosecutor"
