SAUCE FOR SIMPLETONS.

Another sSSawdusto Firm Under the Jailer's
Kcy-Arrest Of a Gang in Ann street and
Commitment TO the Tombs.
In compliance with an order from Superintendent
Keso and numerous complaints forwarded to the
station house, Captain Leary OF the Second precinct
yesterday visited ONCE at % Ann street. tenanted
by ''sawdustn firm, under the style Of
King & Co. King Il Co. had evidently made
extensive preparations for grand onslaught on the
slmple-minded, for the officers found two express
vans Of boxes, filled with pieces OF paper, which
tho "rm" intended to dispose or as being square
counterfeit greenbacks." At the time Captain
Leary entered the office there were four indi-
viduals engaged filling these worthless boxes
each OF which contained q letter urging
upon the receiver the necessity OF
caution and secrecy. These merchants were
Horace Simpson, ]. A. Sherman. Henry Smith and a
boy, who gave the name Of Wnliam Smith. 1t is
presumed that the whole OF the boxes in question
had lsome special destination, and 1t is probably
fortunate circumstance that the police captured
them at the time they aid. This ''nrmn has had
rather lengthy existence but 1t Is very doubtful II
VISITING SING SING NOW.
These men were at work upon the boxes In as
solemn and earnest manner as though they had
been engaged in the most BONA nde business indeed
they appeared to look upon the intrusion OF the
police rs an interference with perfectly legitimate
business. A quantity OF envelopes belonging TO
socalled ''oiice," also about ten bogus watches,
which 1t is understood they sell for gold. These
watches are sold by the gross and are not worth 81
THESE ENTERpRrsINs THIEVES
carried on business as Owen Brothers, then as Bell
Co., James Fisher Co., and lastly under that or
King Co. There Is no sympathy Tor the
people who will deal IN counterfeit bills against
the laws OF the States and lose their money;
IN fact, they are as bad as the men whose establish
ments they help to MAINTAIN. On the other hand the
police department should scour the city and hunt
out all such swindlers from among the community.
When the prisoners were brought before Judge
Shandley at the TOmbs he at once committed them
for examination.
