Railroad Whisky Ring
 Barred iI1 Indictments

iSuffaIo, N Y.-Thefts of merchan- t1isefrom New York Central railroad cars on an enormous scale resulted in she indictment Thursday by federal grand jury Of railroad detectives, sa 2oonkeeperst merchants, tchauffeursa and farmers, who are aAleged to have made apa ring Of thieves and "fences" that handled goods worth s2,000.000' 8, year tor the last three years.
 Whisky and alcohol comprised the chief loot of the ring during the year, 1t was said by Peter J Bentley, Of New York, special attorney for the New York Central. Since January, 1921, 9 robberies O. cars containing liquor have been reported, and the claims on shese, total s750, 900.
 With the alleged eonniyance Of rail- road police, detailed to guard the oraihs. yardmasters, switchmen and other railroad employees, it was possible ior thieves to remove goods from car and. resesl it, so that the footing would not be discovered at once.
 'The car selected, Bentley said, would DO taken out ofsa train and put on & switch. After the car had been robbed and the contents loaded into trucks, che seals would be replaced sndrthe car put on. an outbound train with no record of the delay.
 This system, he said, made 1t difficult Go locate the point,at which the thefts occurred, and it required many weeks of work to point to the Buffalo and other Niagara frontier points as the probable center of opvrations.
 Among the men indicted were John J. Maloney, former chief of the New York Central police force here, and several inspectors, lieutenants and plain clothes detectives, who were dis charged several months ago in the early stages of the inquiries Others indicted were in the service of the rail- road until Thursday.
 Because of the high prices and ready market for the stolen liquor, it is said, several alleged members of the ring have piled up tidy fortunes. The bank book of one switehman under arrest shows balance of 1000. Another Is said to have displayed s25, and has been living in princely style.
