SWAMI NEGLECTED
CHANCE TO BARE
BUILDING GRAFT
Mass of Evidence of Wrong
doing Neglected as 1t
Lay in His Office.
MISTAKE Is ADMITTED

Not Wanted by Lock-
wood Committee.
OFFERED A DEFENCE

MISTAKE Is ADMITTED
OFFERED A DEFENCE

Just why it was that District At
torney Edward Swami did not take
advantage of the opportunity to in
vestigate the scandal attached to the
building crafts OF New York may
never be known but he had every OPP
portunity to do so. All Of the prelim-
mary evidence gathered in different
quarters was presented to him some
months ago. Nothing was done and
when some of the exhibits that had
been left at his office were asked for
he claimed that he had never seen
them. Later they were found and are
now available to the Lockwood COM
mittee as well as to the grand juries
investigating graft in the building
trades.
That Swami made a mistake in not
taking advantage Of his opportunity
is admitted. He would have been in
the position of uprooting manifold
evils that have throttled building in
New York county He would have
been able to get glazing headlines in
the press; he would have been praised
for his efforts to stamp out graft in
this important industry. But now it
has passed right by his Office so far as
the credit is concerned.
The Lockwood committee and its spe-
cial counsel. Samuel Unternyer, asked
Gov. Smith to take the whole matter out
of SWANS hands and he promptly con-

impossible for them to buy building ma
terials.
When It became evident that the
county and Federal District-Attorney
would take no action on the complaint,
the matter was then submitted to Col.
Rand as counsel to the Almirall Grand
Jury. No action was taken there either.
for, as Col. Rand said later, he doubted
IL the power under his appointment ex-
tended to the taking up of this aGdi-
kional matter.
The original complaint was banded
about from July year ago until little
more than a month ago when the Lock-
wood committee started its investlga-
ton. The committee had been In ses-
sion but a few days when 1t was ap-
parent that crime was being uncovered.
Counsel felt that q special Grand Jury
should sift the whole subject, and Gov.
Smith was asked for one. He signed
the necessary order removing Swami
from participation in the inquiry, end
Emory r. Buctner was assigned to the
duty OF presenting the evidence looking
to the indictment of those involved in
crime.
Revelations came so fast before that
committee that it was deemed unwise
to wait for the special Grand Jury to
form, and immediate cases were sent to
the regular Grand Jury and indictments
were returned. Swami had no hand In
these. Neither will he have any part
in the forthcoming sweeping inquiry
He has been taken out of it all.
1t Is now said that Swami regrets
that he did not take the matter up when
he had chance.
When the Lockwood committee got
down to business, 1t found through its
counsel that certain exhibits that had
been placed in the hands of the District
Attorney would be needed to further
the prosecution of the matter in hand.
A demand was made on Mr.. Swami
about the middle of October. Upon
that occasion the District Attorney said
he had never seen the documents In
question but, nevertheless, they were
produced by his chief assistant, Alfred
J. Talley. Judge Swami could not re-
sist the temptation to defend himself
and issued the following statement
II have never seen the so-called valu-
able exhibits in this case, which, 1t de-
velops, are merely printed matter, copies
of which could easily have been OBJ
tanned by any one. They were, as the
World stated, handed to Horace Foster
at that time my secretary, who it APP
pears turned them over to Assistant
District Attorney Waugh. They were
afterward handed to Mr.. Talley, who on
account Of the fact that they were
merely printed matter did not deem
them Of great Importance"

Mr.. Swami upon mat occasion de-
scribed the person who left the papers
on his desk as a person with lisp, In
timating that the person who LETT the
testimony lisped.
Mr.. Hirsch promptly took issue as
TO the veracity of the statement ana POSI-
lively declared that he had never taken
COPY OF the testimony in question to
Mr.. Swami. either bound or unbound.
He also said that he did not speak with
a lisp.
So much for the episode concerning
some of the testimony that was avail
able to Mr.. Swami or any OF his stan OF
crime hunters. 1t was a lead to great
big conspiracy to retard building and 10
make a few labor leaders rich. One
Robert P. Brindell is reputed to have
made upward of a million dollars year
out of his labor union connections. He
represented some 114,000 men who paid
him as union men 81 week for MEM
bership in his union. Other union lead
ers have been mixed into, the mass of
evidence already adduced. More will
probably be brought to the front and
forward, and many stand in the position
of probable indictment before the mat
ter is cleaned up.
Swami had been not infrequently in
dorsed by organized labor. He was
promised their combined support in his
canvass for the place of Supreme Court
Justice. lie may have been loyalty sup
ported by unionists, but he was defeated
for the post he sought Again in 1917,
when Swami was under charges to Gov.
Whitman for his action In the DISPOSE
ton of cases in which union garment
workers had been indicted for assaults
and murder, the labor unions came to
his rescue and promised their combined
aid in his answer to the charges.
The charges at that time grew out of
labor troubles, and there was much per-
jured evidence on both sides. Eventu-
ally the charges against Swami were
dismissed by Gov. Whitman on the re-
port of George J.. Ingraham, as referee.
In the cleanup that followed a num-
Der of the original witnesses were
indicted for perjury. They had
recanted their first stories told I'M
der the administration of Charles A.
Perkins as District Attorney. Later
bail was discharged in most OF these
cases and but few of the defendants
ever went to jail, for 1t was agreed by
Swami and his staff who had cogniZ-
ance of the whole proceeding, that per-
jury by the wholesale had been COM
mitted.

istration Of the District Attorneys offlce
