vehicle, he said.
Inspector Daily on Stand
Mr.. Cochran objected to this line Of
testimony.
II haven't yet heard of taxicab
being considered disordcrly house."
he said.
The prosecution laid it's foundation
for the proof of Henry's alleged ne
glect Of duty by putting Chief Inspec-
tor Daily on the stand to identify ff-
Henry during his regime in the Fourth
District. They included reports re-
garding specific complaints Of vice, and
every one Of them bore the annotaton:
Nothing to report" At the end of
each, over Henry's signature, was this
certihcation: 81 assume responsibility
for the accuracy Of this report"
"Did those reports convey to your
mind" Mr.. Smith asked Daily, chat
there were no disorderly places in the
Fourth District?"
The chief inspector replied that he
could not answer that question without
explaining the contents of a general
order of the depa artmcnt which defines
w nj fN ho Il
pcious. This order, first issued by
Commissioner Woods in January, 1915,
and reissued March 1 last, puts IN
this category: CD Houses where ar
rests for prostitution or maintaining
a public nuisance have been made.
CD Premises frequented almost exclu-
sively by men and occupied by women
who have no other apparent occupation
than prostitution. CD If admittanos
is denied to police offer at place
which has a reputation as a house Of
prostitution.
Chief Inspector DAILY said that In
spcctor Henrys reports meant to him
that none Of the places complained
ing three classifcations and did not
necessarily mean that the district was
absolutely free Of vice.
Worst District in City
The chief inspector testified that his
headquarters squad consisted of twelve
men, who worked in all districts indie
pendently of the district inspectors,
and that there was similar squad of
sixty men, commanded by Inspector
Mcdonald, that worked under Commits
sioner Enright's direction.
He added that he considered the 4th
District the most difficult in the city
as regards vice. DAILY at one time com
manded the 4th District.

had any acquaintance with Henry, Com
missioner Enright or Second Deputy
Commissioner Lahey
Judge Malone ordered the jury
locked up during the progress of the
trial. The jurors will be quartered at
the Hotel Martinique.
Mr.. Cochran said last evening he had
not decided whether Henry would take
the stand.
"Unless they bring out more against
him than they did to-day" he added, II
shall not put any witnesses on at all.
All the vice arrests testified to to-day
were based on the personal solicitation
of some man by a woman. If Inspector
Henry had entered any of these houses
without such evidence he could have
been indicted for it,
