lorHeO III Clnclnnatl, uetectlVcS SAID
tonight.
"The man told me all sorts of mur-
there are no disorderly houses in the
4th Inspection District, Mr. Smith
said:
Sin Henry's district, ten blocks north
and south and three blocks east and west
there are more than 800 disordcrly
made in the district by the men Of
Inspector McDonald's squad and ESQ
were made by Chief Inspector Daly's
men over his head.
Henry and I were supposed to have
been friendly, according to Henry, In
spector Costigan and | raided Thomas
l.. Rcynolds's gambling house in West
Sixty fifth Street, and we wouldn't let
Henry in on the raid. We raided the
place over Henry's head,
might before last | was comforting
at Riverside Drive and Ninety-fourth
Street with two men in the Police De-
partment who were giving me informa-
ton. when one of Henrys men saw
me. That's what started this whole
thing.
First Class CRATER"
GAS for my brother-in-law, l never
even mentioned Henry to him in my
| life. Henry knows that | have investi-
( gated his bank account and that have
found out that he, has. deposited with
in the last ten days an amount much
| larger than his salary. He knows that
am prepared to charge him with
what he is reputed to be--a first class
CRATER"
Referring to the charge made by
Henry that Smith told him he could
elk" newspaper men, Mr.. Smith said:
reply to this charge. l have always
found the newspaper men honest and
beyond reproach."
Referring to Henry's charge that
Smith asked protection for Josephine
Boyle, Mr.. Swami said:
"Mr. Smith spoke to me about her.
He said to me: She is woman who
has heretofore borne bad reputation,
but lately she has done excellent serv-
ice for US in an investigation. She
now conducts restaurant and the
her. They go in there and tell her
patrons all about her, all of which is
true. But she has now left that life.
isn't there something we can do for
the woman who is trying to so out of
that life so that she would not be in
terfered with by the police? She has
told all she can to aid US and don't
you think she ought not to be un-
necessarily persecuted?'
81 said l thought that very meri-
torious thing. jim said she had COM
plained bitterly about how the police
would call out to people in the place
that she was bad character and said
that people, rather than be in a place
the police were against, would leave
1t. told Smith to take the matter up
with the police and explain it to them.
did not know he had taken it up with
Inspector Henry. | thought he had
taken it up with the Commissioner"
Had Henry Afiidavits
Mr.. Swami said he thought at the
time the extraordinary grand jury ex-
amined Inspector Henry it had the
viously seized them. This, however,
proved erroneous, it later being learned
that what the grand jury had were not
the affidavits, but mass of seized
correspondence between Commissioner
Enright and Mayor Hylan, containing
large part of the charges embodied
in Henry's affidavits
Turning to the affidavit in which In
spector Costigan was mentioned by
said:
"The charge in reference to Costigan
IS absurd. Such statement refutes
itself, like most of the statements in
the affidavits"
OF the Dennis Quinn incident, Mr..
Swami pointed out that this was al.
legged to have happened year ago, and
added: %'A'0
81 first heard Of the atidavits when
! read them in the newspapers TODAY.
! have seen Inspector Henry within the
last year forty times. and he nevar
suggested to me at any time any of the
1nings he mentioned in the ahidavits.
ne never mentioned Quinn, and never
knew jim Smith had a broth
by that name.
These charges, from my standpoint.
are all lntrlnssically false and weak
ana SO made for an Interior purpose
mat 1t seems the proper thing would
pe oisclpllnary treatment by the Com
missioner. 1t shows that Henry is dis
qualified to hold the office of inspecto,
or any position in the Police Depart
ment. l think it is a case for re-
moval" A'A 'e
After Mr.. Swami and several of his
assistants had read the affidavits at
length they. came to the conclusion that
they were so carefully worded that
mere mere was scarcely any ground on
which tney could proceed against Henry
by criminal law. Mr. Swami said the
afhdavits did not allege any crime on
the part of Mr.. Smith.
Reporters QUESTIONABLE
Newspaper men VINO tried unsuc-
csess1ully to see Commissioner Enright
drew up Il brief questionnaire which
,hey handed to Lieutenant John Buck
Ley to be handed to the COMMISSIONER
The questions ask were: "Did In
spector He-ry infe d, you Immediately
after each meeting e had with Az.
sistant District Attorney Smith or his
emissaries at which it Is alleged thay
wanted the inspector to stand for a
traffic In vice?
