from Exposure.
WHITMAN WATCHES CASE
nistrict Attorney, Suspicious of
Sudden Activity by Waldo's
Men, Will Scan Closely
the Evidence Against
Graft Exposer.

nsrIct Attorney Whitman was in
, .orroed Yesterday that a high police
ofscial called on Mrs. George A. sipp
few nights ago and told her that If
her husband would drop all charges
and sign an affidavit generating
.verv one connected with the Police
nepartment except Fox, the patrol
man. the charges now being pressed
against him by the police would be
dropped.
Mrs. Sipp sent word down yesterday
that she was not we'll enough TO talk
about this or about anything else con-
nscted with her husbands accusations
against the police grafters.
The question of the sudden activity
Of the police against Sipp, which did
not begin until after Sipp had given
evidence against erafters to the alder
men, loomed larger yesterday in the
rolice graft situation than even the
serious charges which the police have
lodged against the former Harlem
.hotelkeeper.
District Attorney Whitman explained
that it would be necessary for the
.polce 10 present their evidence against
sipp. so that he could obtain an indict-
ment if the charges were true. and
that If an indictment was voted he
would take immediate steps to obtain
sipps exradition from New Jersey.
rFrom what l have heard it is an
atrocious crime that Sipp is accused
Of" said Mr.. Whitman last night, "and
will. Of course, aid the police in every
way possible in the matter"
The District Attorney was frank TO
say, however. that in view Of the coun-
ter accusations or a 'frame-up" made
by Sipp and his friends he would have
TO have the evidence in the case before
preceding. In other words, the Dis
trict Attorney does not intend TO take
any chance OF being accused later. If
sipp should be able TO prove his con-
tention that the charges against him
have oeen framed up" by the police,
