that reached Mr.. Whitman Yesterday
they sailed for Europe from Hoboken
on Tuesday.
The UHners were in Atlantic city
Monday. but as soon as Mr. Whitman
learned they had evaded his detectives
ne demanded the indictment of the eN-
patrolman and the queen of the up
per Tenderloin' The indictments were
voted Wednesday. but as q matter OF
papers on which quick action i'm the
way Of arrest could be had. they Were
valueless because they were indictments
for a misdemeanor-ru a disor-
DERBY house-and could only have been
Of service in an emergency-if the ON-
ners had sbeen so careless as 20 come
across the river from New jersey.
Even If the Ullners had remained IN
Atlantic City extradition could not
have been demanded on the strength
Of these Indictments, because they were
not for a felony. EXtradition might
shave been granted by Governor
courtesy" but the red tape surround
unwinds slowly.
Sailed on the Ryndam.
According TO the report that reached
Whitman YESTERDAY Annie Grey and
iher husband slipped quietly out of At
iantic City either late on Monday night
or early Tuesday morning. embarking
on the Ryndam OF the Holland Ameri-
can Line. which sailed on Tuesday for
Rotterdam.
Annie Grey is credited with being
worth close to a half million dollars
and il is believed that even the sacri-
flee Of her present interests in New
York would not cut much of hole in
that fortune Under the indictment
which was found against him her hus-
band was in grave danger Of disbar-
ment as a lawyer. and in addition 10
these negative reasons for fight. il Is
believed that the high police officials
with whom she has dealt in graft
paving way for the last twenty years
would not hesitate 20 add a fund OF
upwards Of 100000 to her wealth to
compensate her for what she might
lose by leaving so suddenly.
1t is certain that her appearance as
a grand jury witness in police graft
inquiry would have meant more
trouble for the police grafters than that
Of probably any other single person
in the city, and whether or not the
system" had any hend in her fight il
is believed that she could easily induce
certain police officials to raise fund
20 compensate her for becoming a per-
manent exile.
Indicted for misdemeanOr, as she is,
she cannot be extradited except under
the application OF most extraordinary
and Unprecedented diplomatic courte-
sizes. although it is still possible that
Mr.. whitman will endeavor To obtain
an indictment against her for bribery,
wttoh. being a felony. would permit
o. her extradition IN the regular way.
Tho District Attorney will await con-
frmaton Of the report that the Ullners
nave skipped from the country before
taking up the question Of further in
dictments against them and has one
request that they be excluded abroad as
"undesirablesv and sent back
Indictments were found yesterday
against TWO police officers, a sergeant
and a patrolmsn. who have been col
lecting vice graft IN tho lst Inspection
District. Rosie Hertz furnished the
basis OF these indictments. and she was
cOrroborated by her husband and two
women of the East Side vice ring
who had witnessed the payment Of
graft.
Same Plan as in Harlem Gases.
The graft indictments of the two
East Side collectors mark the begin
ming of the District Attorneys effort
20 expose the police corruption OF the
ist Inspection District Proceeding by
the same successive steps as he took in
the Harlem cases, Mr. Whitman asked
for the Indictment o. the collectors
Who dealt with Rosie Hertz. the graft
paver, exactly as he demanded the in
dement, of PatrOlman Eugene r. Fox
on the evidence Of George A. Sipp. the
Harlem graft payer.
II appeared from the information
gathered Yesterday that the trail OF
East Side graft just opened Will lead
.1ore directly and quickly into the in
spectors office than was the case in
the Harlem situation. Uptown, Sipp
delivered Fox. Fox delivered Walsh,
hts captain. and Walsh delivered Swee-
new his inspector. Downtown. the
Hertz evidence delivers two collectors.
but these collectors dealt directly with
their inspector.
The two collectors involved in the
Whitman graft net by way of the evil
dence e Rosie Hertz will be brought
the Criminal Courts Building to-
day. II they are willing 20 follow tile
example Of Eugene T. Fox they will
gain immunity.
Police Lieutenant George Cullon. the
missing link IN the Hartigan case, APP
peared as grand jury witness yester-
day and will be a witness in the Harti-
gan trial, which begins before Justice
Seabury this morning.
