POLICE ACCUSED BY
 TWO WOMAN VICTIMS
One Was Sent to Jail on Grafter's
 Framed" Charge

New York, July 27.-New dis
 closures of police graft which resulted in the indictment of Detective William
 J. Enright and others were made by
 two women to James E. Smith, assis-
 tant district attorney, yesterday. One
 or these women accused a detective of giving false testimony against her to send her to the penitentiary because she refused to permit him to kiss her, and the other made the accusation that she had paid him s35O to quash trumped-up case, and that despite this she was convicted and sentenced to the workhouse for three months.
 According to MT. Smith, the story told by the first woman, whose name is withheld, reveals the processes en- ployed by certain policemen to ob- tain graft This woman said that, despite the fact that she is married, detective whom she named, caused her to be arrested for keeping a dis reputable resort.
 Later" the woman said, "he took me to a lawyers office and then they named a price for legal services. I refused to pay the sum demanded and the detective took me to another lawyer who asked me a still greater sum for his services. I told the de- tective would hire my own attorney, and that night he came to my house and tried to kill me. He arrested my maid and she was discharged by the police ma agistrate.'
 Woman's Story CorrOberated.
 The woman's story, which will be re- peated to the Grand Jury today, was corroborated, said MT. Smith, by the captain of the police precinct in which the woman lives, who said her trouble with the detective had amazed him, as he knew her to be respecta ble. MT. Smith said that the evidence in his possession indicates that the accused detective sought to enmesh the wO- man in police coils for purposes of his own in violation of his sworn du- ties.
 Mrs. Sadie Lipschitz also made statement to Mr. Smith against the same detective. She made an affidavit setting forth that she had known the detective for several years, and that in 1913 she had been driven out of business and was living straight when the detective crossed her path in 1914
 T was living with my husband and 1 his daughter, who is employed in a 1 department store," said Mrs. Lip schitz. ''1 was out shopping one af- ternOon and on my return home found ] the detective in the house. He ar rested my husband and myself on an accusation of maintaining an unlawful tescrt. We gave bail, and a few days | later the detective sent for me and l told me that he would settle both cases for $700. I pawned my diamond jewelry for S45O and gave him $s5O. The case against my husband then was dismissed.
 Sent to Workhouse.
 .I expected to raise more money to settle the case against me, but he feared I wouldn't pay him, so the case against me was pressed. I was con- yicted in Magistrate Murphy's court last October and was sentenced to serve three months in the workhouse. I told Magistrate Murphy of the detec- lives promise and showed the pawn tickets in proof of my statement that ] had pawned my jewelry to pay him the money he demanded. The atten- tion of the district attorney was called to the matter and an investigation was made. I don't know how this ended, but I was forced to serve out my sentence.''
 Strong testimony against the ac- cused detective, according to MT. Smith, promises to be supplied by Max Turkowitz, known in the under world as "Pimple,' who was arrested by Policeman Conway for extortion, arraigned in Yorkville police court on June 28, 1916. The detective ap- peared to be greatly chagrined at Turkowitz's arrest, and that night he is alleged to have slipped some money to the prisoner with the injunction to
