Accused by a Fellow Attor.
ney of Having Been
Twice in Prison.

fore Him, and Allows a
Week for an In

rBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune 7

Canandaigua. y. Y, Feb. 3.-E. A.
Griffith. an attorney of Geneva,
startled the three hundred men who
we're assembled in Supreme Court here
to-day by making a sensational accu-
sation against John w. Eighmy also
a Geneva lawyer, who, he declared.
was an ex-convict.
Justice George \. Benton. of Roch-
ester. who presided in court, asked
Eichmy what he had to say in defence
Of himself.
"I am not the man. declared
Elchmy IF l were. the fact that I
had been convicted Of felonies would
not disbar me from practising in this
court until disbarment proceedings
had been held"
II ! thought you were the man. YOU
would not practice before me-" declared
the judge, who adjourned the matter
for one week to give Griffith opportun-
ity to present proof of his charge
IF il develops that YOU are the
man" said Justice Benton. addressing
Eighmy. 1T will be my duty to al once
report your case to the Appellate Div
ision."
Eighmy is attorney for the defend
ant in the action of George l.. Buttrey,
of Geneva. against Alice Buttrey. Grit-
fifth appears for the plaintiff. The case
is on the calendar for this term, and
Eighmy moved that it be stricen OIL.
Griffith objected TO the court enter
tanning Eighmy's motion, on the ground
that a man who has been convicted OF
a felony has no right TO practise law
before a court i'm this state. Griffith
read from alleged certified copies OF
conviction that John w. Eighmy was
convicted of felony in Saratoga in
1873. and sentenced TO six years in
Dannemora prison. In Syracuse, IN
April. 1906. a John W. Eighmy pleaded
guilty in the United States Court to
ralsifying prison affidavits. and was
sentenced TO serve three years in Au-
burn prison.
After the court had adjourned the
matter Eighmy made speedy exit
from the room.

tising attorney in this city. His wife

Eugene +. Fox. the policeman in
whose defence George \. Sipp was ar
rested by orders from Police Head
quarters. pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment for bribery and eXtortion before
Justice Goff Yesterday afternoon after
he had agreed with District Attorney
Whitman that he would lay bare what
he could of the police graft in Har-
lem.
Justice Goff permitted Fox 10 be
released on his old bail of 5000 until
the District Attorney moved for the
imposition of sentence. No bargain
had been comcnted with Fox. but IL
was tacitly understood that he would
not be sentenced for the crime 10
which he confessed yesterday if he
delivered into the hands of the
District Attorney the police captain
and inspector with whom he had held
his graft relations.
Fox did not give up the fight until
Mr.. Whitman disclosed 10 him that II
was hopeless. The policcman's law
ycrs went so far as to proceed with
the selection Of a jury, and Mr.. Whit
man was ready and willing to so on
with the trial. when Louis j. Grant
asked for an adjournment from the
morning until . O'Clock in the after

guilty.

Trail Leads Higher Up


District Attorney Whitman eN-
messed tho deepest satisfaction with
the results OF his prosecution OF FOX
and is confident that the graft tran
opcncd M by the plea Of guilty from
the policeman collector VIII lead up
TO at least one captain and ono IN
spcctor. and probably 10 several other
,nspectors and former inspectors and
10 one civilian high in the department.
Summed up. the days events pre-
scntcd i'm substance the following
propositions Of the successful develop
mont of which District Attorney
Whitman is confident:
That Fox will present evidence that
will warrant the indictment OF police
captain TO whom he personally handed
over his collections;
That I've will bring forward witnesses
Who will corroborate his evidence
AGAINST .hc police captain;
That Thomas J. Dorian, the missing
assistant manager OF the AvaneI Hotel,
who appeared as peoples witness at
the Fox trial yesterday, will present
evidence which will warrant the in.
dictnent OF ono OF the mon concerned
in the ownership and management OF
the hotel for bribns a prospective wit
ness;
That the man implicated by Dorian
rtirsrk % pntiCa in.
spector, and when facing sentence will
'"deliver" that inspector to Whitman
to save himself;
That the trail leading up from that
INSPECTOR will almost certainly lead to
the indictment Of commanding civil
ian official Of the Police Department, on
the ground that he participated in a
conspiracy in connection with the des-
perate effort Of the police System" to
prevent Sipp's disclosures from getting
to the grand jury.
Inspector Dennis Sweeney. who was
named in Sipp's sworn testimony be-
fore the aldermanic committee, has
been the commander of the Harlem dis
trict which embraced Fox's activities,
and was the first high police official to
spring TO the support Of the policeman
when Sipp's accusations became pub
lie. Mr.. Whitman now has evidence
that Sweeney, almost Immediately after
Sipp named Fox as graft collector,
sent out Morris Grossman, his plain
clothes man, To get something on
Sipp." Grossman's attempt along that
line resulted in Sipp's arrest in Allan
tic CITY. but failed TO stand the test Of
being presented to the grand jury.
Captain Walsh Still III.
Captain Thomas w. Walsh, the COM
mander Of the precinct in which Fox
oDerated as a collector, was named in
sworn testimony before the aldermanic
committee as the man responsible for
the wide open conditions under which
vice was being Haunted in Harlem.
The evening of the day that Walsh
was so named By Mary Coleman and
other witnesses he was taken sick at
his desk in the East 10th street sta
ton and has been on sick leave ever
since.

ton avenue, who has been attending
CAPTAIN Thomas Walsh for the last
two months, said last night that the
poljceman was in a serious condition
ard tbat his full recovery, even with
all the chances in his favor, was hope

Over the State
Dam Project Rumored.

Rockford, H.. July 26.-Rumor is
current in Rockford that there will be a
power dam at Rockton within 4 short
time. These who appeared to be con-
versant with the move were reticent
relative to the personnel of the men
in the proposed venture. What leads
strength to the story is that only a
few days ago some property changed
hands at Rockton and it was then
limited that the change of ownership
meant new power dam. The plans,
it is said, call for an enormous dam
and reservoir a. Rockton to supply a
large horsepower of electric current
for commercial and lighting purposes.
The intention is to furnish light and
power to surrounding towns, includ-
ing Rockford. 1t is also suggested
that farmers within reasonable
radius will be supplied with cleo,
tricity.
