The decision of the officials and

After pleas of leniency were made
by their counsel, former Judge Clar-

Justice McAvoy, of the Supreme
Court, before whom they appeared,
imposed fines of $4,000 each upon

full amount allowed by the law.
Two of the defendants, however,
Henry Hanlein and Rudolph Seus,
not being connected with corpora
tions, were fined $4,000 each.
Given Twenty-four Hours to Pay
Justice McAvoy ordered that the
fines be paid within twenty-four hours,
warning the defendants they would
have to spend day in Jail for every
dollar remaining unpaid within that
time.
While John 7. Hettrick, the lawyer

New York's reaction to the crime
wave which for months has en-
quilted the city, challenged an ad
ministrstion charged with deliber-
ately smashing an efficient police
machine, and which eliminated on
Thursday in two shockingly bold
murders, was immediate and wide
spread yesterday.
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky, from
the bench in General Sessions,
called for a vigilance committee
Of 25,O00 citizens, to work indie
pendently Of the police, in order
to protect their families, their
homes and their property.
The combined jewelry trade as
sociations appointed a committee
to call on Commissioner Enright
and learn if possible how much
protection they could expect.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-18

The Women's Republican Club,
i'll a letter to Mayor Hylan, re-
quested that the militia be called
out and that the city be placed un-
der martial law until the crime
wave had been suppressed.
And Mayor Hylan, who has beer
silent during the expose of conditions
in the city over which he presides,
finally discovered, according to a for
nal statement addressed to the public
that New York was in the grip of q
crime epidemic. He pleaded with the
citizens to arm them selves in addition
TO cooperating with the Police Depart
ment. He said that permits authoriz-
ing the carrying OF guns would be
granted promptly, and advised that the
city take advantage Of this means of
protection.
No arrests have been made in the
robbery which led to the murder Of
Edwin ". Andrews, the jeweler, on
Thursday, and the police officers in
charge of the case virtually admitted
that they had made no progress.
Three Held in Staying
Three men and woman are held for
the killing of Police Lieutenant Horton
on Thursday. Mrs. Lucille Emma
Brooks and Nicholas Loresch arc
charged with homicide. John Cavanagh
and Michael Loresch are held, the first
as accessory and the second as abettor
of the crime.
The killing Of Andrews and Police
Lieutenant Horton gave impetus 60 the
movement designed to provide civilian
protection in this city FOR LIFE and
property. On all sides it was declared
that the Enright-Lahey police system
had broken down and was no longer
capable of meeting existing crime con-
ditions
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky from the
bench in General Sessions urged the
Immediate formation of Il vigilance
committee Of % 900 armed citizens, to
ac. independently Of the Pc ice Depart
ment. Judge Rosalsky's theory was that
through vigilance committee Of cit
liens it would be possible TO detect
and arrest criminals before they had
All opportunity to Commit the crimes
they were contemplating.
Chief Magistrate William McAdoo, in
statement made last night, declared
that the present crime wave can be
/ attributed 20 an immense army OF
young men out of work. He added tha,
