Saws 1t Is a Plot

Inspector Mccain heard of the indict-
ments in his Office. He turned to the
reporters and in even tones said the
stories of the vice men constituted a
plot to discredit him as a policeman.
He was asked whether he had heard a
story to the effect that the dive keep
ers feared he might ultimately succeed
George NJ. Shippy as mead of the police
department and that they deemed it
necessary to "lxill'' him as a police Of
fetal to save themselves from augmen-
tatien of an already rigid rule
The story was to the effect that a
police official of almost as high rank
as Mccain, and who has been men
toned prominently" heretofore as a
candidate for the head of the police
department saw Mccain as a possibly
dangerous rival. The friends of this
man, according to the story, were pow
erful enough to influence the Frank
brothers. who long have been notorious
for their saloon at Halsted and West
Madison streets, to go TO the state
attorney with their story.
McCanns predicament was foreshad-
owed yesterday when an indictment
was returned against Detective Ser
geant Jeremiah Griffin. alleged to have
been the collection agent working out
of McCann's office.
Half a dozen witnesses testified be-
fore the grand jury and stated that
Griffin harvested as high as $4,000 a
month, most of which vent to men

under this system is said to have been

Further Exposures Promised
On the voting of these indictments
excited attaches OF the state attor-
ney's office predicted that the coming
week of activity by the grand jury

Francisco" and pointed to the fact that
200 subpenas for witnesses from the
respective police districts of the city
have been issued.

spector with having accepted money

of the Desplaines street vice district:

spector McCann $3.50 July l.
MaIfeaSauce in Office
The five indictments charging NAL
feasance in office. each of which carries
a fine OF $4,000 in the event of ultimate
conviction. are based upon the respect
i've indictments charging bribery and
accuse the inspector of malfeasance in
falling to have the resort keepers fined
and driven away. The resort keepers
themselves, who are named as wit
nesses on the McCann indictments,
were indicted for keeping illegal re-
sorts, the purpose being. it was said,
to hold clubs over them until they
finally gave testimony against the po-
lice in court
Louis Frank, who was indicted Fri
Qdys ana MS DFOlner, JULIUS, also ap-
peared as witnesses against McCann in
all cases and are alleged to have told
the grand jurors that they collected
graft at the rate OF a minimum of
$40 month for each unfortunate
woman in the district. and turned the
money over to Inspector Mccain.
The moving spirit Of the investiga-
ton, State Attorney Wayman, supple
mented his previous statement that
he will go as far as the evidence" by
this terse statement:
The indictments speak for them
selves. and charge both bribery and
malfeasance in Office. The state is
ready for trial It has been the policy
of this office to do business without
talking about it, and I shall continue
that policy. 1 have nothing TO say
about what the grand jury will do next
week"
