ln Rothstein Case
Inquiry Asked by Hylan Into
Charge That S32,OOOWas
Paid oClearAlleged Cam
bier of Double Shooting

The extraordinary grand jury yes
tcrday began it's inquiry into a rumor
that an assistant district attorney, q
former city magistrate and a news
paper man had been given $32 900 to
help quash proceedings against Arnold
Rothstein, known along Broadway as
a high-stake gambler, who, it was
charged, shot two detectives year ago
and went free.
The Almirall panel camo across the
rumor, which failed to stand up yes
terday, when it impounded q letter
from Mayor Hylan to Police Commits
sioner Enright in which the Mayor
asked an inquiry into the alleged Roth
stein affair.
Gives Lie to Charges
Former Governor Charles S. Whit
man, Police Commissioner Enright and
James L. Smith, Assistant District At
torney, who had declared he was the
member Of Mr.. Swann's staff referred
to in the Mayors letter, testified be-
fore the jury. SO did Herbert Bayard
Swope, Of the editorial staff of THE
New York World" who told the jury
stein deal and that Ike was in Europe
when it happened. Swope said when
he left the jury ROOM
~ am informed that in letter
passed between Mayor Hylan and the
Police Commissioner indirect charges
were made to the effect that was CON
cerned in obtaining the release of
Arnold Rothstcn. The whole story
regarding me is utterly and dcliber-
ately false | was in France from the
first OF December, 1918, until Septem-
ber, 1919, having previously been in
Washington from November 1917. The
Fothstcin shooting took place in Janu-
airy, 1919, and the trial or dismissal of
the Indictment in June, 1919.
II asked to go before the grand jury
to scotch this lie and brand the liars,
whoever they may be, and to ask salts
faction for this criminal libel"
Assistant District Attorney Smith,
who, along with the others mentioned,
was completely vindicated of any hand
in the Rothstein matter by an inquiry
by Mr.. Swami some time ago and an
other by Comm ssioner Enright, de-
clared the statement in the Mayors
letter was false.
Henry Fails to Appear
He suggested that Inspector Henry,
of the LIST inspection District, who was
in charge of the district in which the
Rothstein shooting occurred, be ques-
toned about it, Mr.. Henry, who Mr..
Swami said was the man who gave the
alleged bribc story TO Mayor Hylan,

Swami said, chat he could not appear
because he had a pain in the back.
Henry will be subpGnaed again to-mor-
row"
"The citizens of this city are entitled
to know the real facts in this case"
Mr.. Smith said. "Camouhage on the
part Of certain officials will not be-
cloud the issue. If man occupying
an important position makes a charge
ne should be in position to sustain it
or be man enough to tell the citizens
that he was mistaken"
Former City Magistrate Emil Fuchs,
Who was subpnnaed for yesterday, did
not testify. He will reappear to-day.
Other witnesses scheduled for to-day
arc Mayor Hylan, Magistrate McQuade
ard Detectives Mclaughlin and Walsh,
