Sergeant Frink remarked to me that that was a very nice place; he said he knew the proprietor, and he said, “Doctor, this would be a very nice place if you ever wanted to run a young girl in here, upstairs, it would be all right; nothing would be said.”--Vol. iv., p. 4,235. A month later the doctor was again arrested. This time it cost him 475 dollars, paid to the lawyer. He was again arrested in the following month, and was held for the Grand Jury:-- Q. There was a regular raid on the abortionists at that time, was there not? A. Yes, sir. Q. And all the warrants were issued by Judge Koch? A. All the warrants were issued by Judge Koch. Yes, sir. Q. Do you know that any have been convicted? A. No, sir. It was simply a blackmailing scheme. Q. Blackmailing by whom? A. I expect by the police. Q. Who issued the warrant you were arrested on? A. Judge Koch. Q. He seems to have had a monopoly on the issuing of warrants of these cases? A. He might have been making money pretty fast out of it.--Vol. iv., p. 4,246. “Judge Koch,” Whitehead said, “sat back in his chair, and he said he was going to make an example of me,” and he held me to wait the action to the Grand Jury. He first insisted on 7,500 dollars bail, but after various interviews with the police lawyer and the police sergeant he reduced it to 2,500 dollars. About a day or two after he had been held for the Grand Jury a lady came to see Whitehead, and said she wanted to be treated for abortion. Whitehead refused to treat her, and said that he had been so badly blackmailed:-- I told her I thought I would not practise any more; I would leave the City of New York if they were going to prosecute me that way for nothing, and she said, “The gentleman who got me in the family way is a very influential man, and he is a judge, and can do a great deal for you, doctor.” I told her I did not think he could, because I had been held for the grand jury. She insisted, and said, “Doctor, who is this man that held you?” I said, “It was Judge Koch;” she said, “Judge Koch?” She said, “My God, he seduced me and got me in the family way five times, and Judge Koch paid the bill.” Mr. Goff: Proceed, doctor. A. She left my house, and she went down to Judge Koch at Essex Market, and Judge Koch sent for me. Q. Sent for you? A. Yes, sir, by her. I have got lots of proof of that: there is no need for him to wriggle out of it, for he cannot; and I went to see Judge Koch, and he was as sweet as sugar. He told me, “Doctor,” he says, “I am very sorry about this affair; I did not know that my girl had ever been to you,” he said. “I will do all I can for you--everything.” He said there would not anything come of this case. “Don’t you be afraid;” the girl afterwards---- Q. Wait a while; was there any one present? A. Mr. Friend here.
