Special Term OF Court
Asked to Try Officials
Judge GRANTS Suggestion To
Be Takess Up at Conference
OF His Associates This Weeh

A special term of the Court of Cen
eral Sessions to try the cases of all
public officials now under Indictment
was suggested yesterday by Judge
Thomas G.. I. Grain. A conference of
Judge Grains associates will be held
early this week to determine the man
ner in which such court can be con-
stituted
Judge Grain is presiding over the
January additional grand jury, of
which William Sloane Coffin is fore
man, and which, since former Governor
Charles 5. Whitman assumed the role
OF special prosecutor, has indicted on
alleged graft charges fourteen mem
bers of the Police Department, includ-
ing Chief Inspector William S. Lahey.
Judge Grain finds, however, that
there are other city officials or en-
ployees under indictment-on bv the
grand luries. They are James E, Smith
and Edwin P. Kilroe, assistant district
attorneys; David A. Hirshtield, Com
missioner of Accounts; Augustus Drum
Porter, ex-Deputy Police Commits
sioner; Detectives James J. Gunson
and Frederick F. Franklin and Fire
man John j. Kelly.
1t is understood that all of Judge
Grains associates feel that because Of
the political issue which may be raised
mary of them are candidates for re
election in the fall of next year
a special term should be created, with
an outside judge, preferably a Supreme
Court justice, designated as a General
Sessions Judge
The Tribune has learned that Gov
ernor Whitman is in favor of the plan
suggested by Judge Grain. 1t is said
that he agrees with the judge in the
contention that many of the men are
under suspension without pay. and in
the cases of Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Kilroe,
assistant district attorneys, a number
OF Judges have been inclined to permit
them to prosecute cases while still un-
der indictment.
