Footnotes:
[1] Attention is called to the fact that the vice resorts described in the
following pages are all situated in Manhattan, this being the only section
of Greater New York considered in the present investigation.
[2] All statements made on the basis of our investigation are to be
understood as of this period. There is no implication as to conditions
before or after those dates. Where a statement under any other date is
intended, that fact is noted. This caution applies to the entire book and
will not be repeated.
[3] See Chapter II.
[4] See Chapter IV.
[5] X 2. The foregoing sign is the key by which the woman referred to can
be identified in our records. At this point, I shall explain once for all
a system which will be continued throughout this book. The persons,
places, and exhibits mentioned or referred to in the text are invariably
definite and concrete. A complete register of them has been made, each
item being lettered and numbered. The sign X 2 in the present instance
enables the writer promptly to put his finger on the name, address, etc.,
of the person designated. This is equally true of all future references
similarly indicated.
[6] For additional samples, see Chapter VI.
[7] Among our exhibits are several business cards belonging to the
physicians here alluded to.
[8] X 461.
