Also Condemned Him as Can

The inquiry that is being made into
The Office of the District Attorney Of
New York county is, so far as the
people Of New York city are con-
cerned, one Of the most important of
the many Investigations that are now
getting at wrong doing. whether it be
criminal by design or the result of
incompetence. This Office, the most
important criminal law post in the
country, is in the hands Of Edward
Swami. who has been twice elected.
Before that he was Judge on the
bench of General Sessions.
The investigation conducted by the
Grand Jury has resulted in the indict-
ment OF two members of Swanns pro-
fessional staff. and charges involving
others are being considered. The men
indicted SO far are James E. Smith
and Edwin p. Kilroe, both statutory
assistants. Swami himself has been
many times on the defensive, and a
survey Of his official life shows that
he has been the subject of several in
vestigations, none Of which ever sus-
tained any Of the charges brought
against him. However, within his
present term two Governors-one a
Republican, the other Democrat
have seen fit to supersede him in his
important work as chief crime prose-
cutor Of the county.
Just at present there are three ex-
traordinary or special Grand Juries in
session. All three are out of the hands
of tho chief prosecutor OF the county.

ters because It was made to appear

Gutor OF the county II was not long

Repeatedly Under Fire.

Charles S. Whitman, as Governor. did
not remove Swami on the charges made
by former General Sessions Judge James
A. Delehanty. Charges were also filed
by Michael a. Rofrano, an Italian poll
tician. who had been acquitted of mur-
der. These were also heard by Judge
lngraham and dismissed. The Dele
hanty charges grew out OF Swanns
handling OF labor assault and murder
cases that had originated in the District
Attorneys office when Delehanty was
an Assistant District Attorney. The
charges. fathercd by the City Club. were
sent by the Governor to former Supreme
Court Justice sGeorge l.. Ingraham as
referee. After many hearings Judge
lngraham's report spoke OF Swami in the
following language:
''As read this testimony the whole
power OF the public prosecutor was used.
not for the enforcement of criminal law
or the punishment OF crime but to extort
from tho witnesses upon whose testi-
mony these indictments had been OBJ
tained a. retraction Of their testimony"
Tho Judiciary Committee of the Bar
Association condemned Swami as an
unfit candidate for the Supreme Court
bench. for which office he was defeated
on November last.
Grand juries have censured Swanns
office; Judges from the bench have criti-
cised him and members of his profess
sional staff. No district attorney in the
last twenty years has had such stormy
career as has Swami In the administra-
ton OF this important Job
The crushing political blow to Swami
came when he failed of election to the
supreme Court 1t smashed all his fond
hopes. for. while he had been politically
ambitious TO 20 ahead. he had resigned
himself to spend his declining years on
the bench OF an important court OF the
state. Ills friends arc authority for the
statement that Swami at one time
thought he could be Mayor of the city
