Grand Jury Finds 2 Counts
Against BotWin's Rival,
"Sam the Pedler."
REGARDED AS KEY
TO POLICE CHARGES
Kirsch Expected to Tell of
"Pipe Lines" to Under
world Banks"

An important witness wanted by
District Attorney Swami to testify
against policemen charged with graft
was indicted twice for "white slavery"
yesterday. He is Samuel Kirsch, alias
"Sam the Pedler," notorious procurer.
Tie was the most powerful competitor
of Yushe Botwin, the confessed "white
SLAYER" against whom five indictments
have been returned Kirsch refused to
aid the District Attorney when arrested
week ago, and was committed TO the
House of Detention in default Of $4,000
bail.
According to Assistant District Attor-
ney Smith Kirsch, on June 9, placed
Rose Nicholson. seventeen years old,
in resort kept by Lena Buzzi in Charl-
ton Street. On that day the place was
raided and both women arrested. They
were witnesses before the grand jury
against him.
Collections Are Alleged.
The other indictment is based on the
alleged sale of Lille Braunstein, six
teen years old, on August /, to Rose
Gruber, who kept resort in Mulberry
Street, a few doors below the Offices
of Chief Magistrate McAdoo. From both
women Kirsch is said 10 have collected
10 per cent of their earnings, and from
Lena Ruzzi an additional SO a week.
Rose Gruber said she paid Kirsch 81
a week, besides the agreed 10 per cent.
Kirsch is regarded by the District At
torney as the key 70 the police whose
names are constantly being mentioned
in the investigation. Botwin, the pow
erful procurer. did not do business with
the police. Kirsch, it is alleged, did.
and it is from him that the District
Attorney expects to reveal the existence
of police pipe lines" to the underworld
blanks" The necessary confederation
has already been obtained, the prose-
cutor is certain.
The police, according to Mr.. Smith,
were at the bottom of the custom of
keeping the white slaves" in each resort
only week or two. This was because
the girls, to use the expression of the
police, became "too laxative" Talk,
in this case, was regarded as a menace
to the police, because it was bait for
detectives with rowing commissions. and
because it was likely TO result in raids
by Lieutenant Dan Costigan. of the vice
squad According to the District At
torney's informers he was feared by
the grating police.
Girls Sent Away.
Orders to shift the laxative girls
often resulted in their being sent out
side New York. even as far West as
Cincinnati, where Botwin had an agent.
The usual shift, however, was either
above or below Fourteenth Street. which
was sort of mason and Dixon line,"
dividing the resorts where English and
foreign languages are spoken.
Kirsch, like Botwin, is married and
has children-six of them, and all
daughters He lived at Avenue c and
Sixth Street. According to Assistant
District Attorney Smith, the case
against him is so nearly completed that
he will be brought to trial within ten
days. Botwin is to be witness against
him. More indictments for white slav-
cry" are predicted within the next forty
eight hours.
