3 MEN AND 3 WOMEN
FACE FRAUD CHARGE
Accused of Working Stock
Deal in Boston.

The Silnsky brothers. Frank, Abra-
ham and William, and the Thurston
sisters Bessie, Irma and Eunice. were
arraigned in the West Side Court yes
terday on the charge of conspiring to
Gefraud Boston brokers out Of $4,000
in cash.
According to Detective McGann, Frank
Slinsky, who said he was a member of
w. L. Darnell & Co, sent the other five
To Boston, where they gave orders to
about a dozen brokers to buy them s20,-
900 worth of stock of Roi de France. a
perfumery mandatory. Each paid
81 900 on account When the New York
correspondent of a Boston broker tried
to buy the stock on the curb he found
that Frank Silinsky was the only man
who had any. Silinsky 1t is alleged, sold
the stock at s14 share. The five who
went to Boston never returned to get
the stock or pay for It. and the brokers
found themselves with stock not worth
much more than SO on the curb, the de-
tective said. A Boston Judge issued the
warrants
The brothers furnished $4,000 bail
each on the technical charge of being
fugitives from justice, and their case
was adjourned until May 90. The
women, who said they were models llv-
ing at $40 West Fifty-seventh street
could not furnish bail.

SWAMI TO CONTINUE
PROBE BY WHITMAN
Will Have Him Prosecute Cases
Turned Over by Legislative
Committee.

Edward Swami, District Attorney, re-
peated yesterday his request to the
finance and budget committee of the
Board of Estimate for 100000 to con-
tinue the Whitman investigation, but the
committee again refused recommenda-
ton and voted to refer the matter to the
board for an airing at the next regular
meeting. In reply to the question OF f.
Fl. LaGuardia. President Of the Board of
Aldermen, whether the District Attorney
could not reduce his staff and save some
money, Mr.. Swami replied that he could
not. On the contrary, he said. he intends
to keep former Gov. Whitman and Ar
thur NJ King, his assistant. on investiga-
ton work until the legislative committee
gets down to work about August /.
After that he will keep Mr.. Whitman to
prosecute whatever cases may be turned
over to the District Attorneys office by
the committee.
The District Attorney explained that
the Whitman investigation had been In
stigated by the charge OF an Assembly
man that never In the history of the city
had there been such corruption In public
life.' So far, he continued. Mr.. Whit
mans activities have failed to substan-
tiate the charge though the former Gov
ernor the District Attorney said he be-
ieved had disclosed about all there is 10
be disclosed In the way of corruption in
the Hylan administration.
still" he said, II thought IL corrup-
tion existed those connected with it ought

JAIL SENTENCES ARE
ASKED In 81 CASES
Justice Davis Hears Argu-
ments on Guilty Pleas in
Lockwood Prosecution.
DECISION Is RESERVED
Defendants Include John A.
Mccarthy, Former Partner
of Charles f. Murphy.
DECISION IS RESERVED

Su>reme Court Justice Vernon M.
Davis heard arguments yesterday on
a motion for Jail sentences for thirty
two individuals and corporations that
have entered pleas Of guilty to indict-
ments found as a result of the LOCK-
wood committees investigation chars-
ing violation Of the Donnelly antitrust
Law. Justice Davis took the cases
under further consideration, meantime
asking the Attorney General to supply
him with data covering the capitahza-
ton gross business and profits or the
defendant corporations during the last
four years.
The Court added that 1t would make
it's decision as soon as possible after
the submission of the data, but that
If this proved impossible by May l3,
and which. it was shown, exercised
corporations and individuals. those
trials would be postponed.
The defendants included John A.
Mccarthy, former business partner of
Charles F. Murphy. All we're members
of the Association of Dealers in Masons
and Builders Materials, formed in 1900,
and which, 1t was shown. exercised
monopoly of the market for that class
of building material.
Justice Davis heard william "A. LIE
Ford, Special Deputy Attorney
General. plead for Jail sentences. The
defendants, with the exception of Frank
u. Wise. former president of the dealers
association. were represented by Ed
ward E. Mccall.
Mr.. De Ford sketched the history of
the defendants organization since 1t was
formed in 1900
II have never heard in my life of a
more elaborate plan of mechanism to
violate the law" Mr.. De Ford said. NO
one could join this organization without
being bound by its constitution and by
laws, and the members were bound to-
gether to put just so much of an econ
omic burden upon construction and upon
the backs of the public as they saw tit
to put"
Counsel for the defendants pleaded
that his clients seldom made an average
profit of more than ten per cent, which
figure, he sighed, had been, in effect,
recognized by the Government in war
time contracts on cost plus ten per
cent. basis.
"The Government set its seal of ap-
proval on that figure" Mr.. Mccall said.
"and these men, who have not trained
legal minds, did nothing more than fol-
low the lead of the President or the
United States. These men were not ac-
tuated by any criminal intent by malice,
nor by any black heart"
