BROOKLYN LAWLESSNESS.

MORE DEPREDATlONS BY HIGHwAYMEN
INCREASE OF CRIME AND INEFFICIENCY OF THE
POLICE.
The terrible tragedies of the past week and
the attempted murders and highway robberies Of Sun
day discussed yesterday throughout Brooklyn and
the citizens alive TO the fact that their lives and
property In constant peril from the assaults of high
waymen and assassins. Several murderous attacks
reported early yesterday aud in instance the police
succeeded in arresting the assaiant The locality In
which most OF these daring robberies and attempted
murders have occurred requened by several OF
desperate rowdies and footpads, with whose habits the
police are well acquainted One OF these gangs whose
haunts are In Raymond and Pearl-ss. numbers among
Its members the most desperate scoundres In the city,
They call themselves the "Forty Acres"
The depredations Of highwaymen are not confined TO
the Flushing-ave district. where PanoEno was muir
dered Murderous assaults were made early yesterday
within few blocks of Fulton Ferry and midnight assas
sins seem to lurk In every section Of the city.
The fact that "a members OF the police force Of ihe
Fourth Precinct were at Demoeratic Primary on the
night that panormo murdered has been announced
In THE TRIBUNE and has caused the greatest fndigna-
ton among the citizens Of that precinct The total force
OF the precinct men, and the extent Of the territory
covered about IL square miles, and II will be seen that
while the murder of the musician was taking place
there only six policemen to protect the lives and
property Of thousands Of residents
There is doubt that the police force OF the ctyls
entirely inadequate for It's proper protection The Idea
that patrolmen be expected to protect the lives
and property Of 600 people, and to defend against
awessness city OF such extent Brooklyn, Is eimpy
ridiculous. And yet 1t is fact that the police force
now lacks 80 men OF its allowed strength. The
assigned s The Commissioners do not wish to report
deficiency at the close OF the fiscal year. which they
will be compelled to DO TO the extent of Dioco If they
I'LL up the force So the city is by thieves and
mmderers that the Department of Police may seem to
have been economically conducted.

character, there has been no deveiopeinen' u "uy
thing like the stupendOus robbenes OF 'nS 'Vu".s
the mblication of which last Fall shocked hohcs'
men throughout the whole United States. 1t is ex
rectad that the Legislature will appoint commHtee
of investigation to inquire into the municipal fau
which hayeeen the scandal of this city, and IL is lne
intention of the Committee of Seventy to lay Delore
them the evidence they have collected. IL Will oe
observed that thus far the Committee have not oo-
tanned actual proof Of fraud and the case is not oo
elusive bnt there is very little douDt IN any
mind that Tweed & Co. stole from the Guy as i'iseS

county.
A maSs of transcript in tabular form, copled from
various vouchers in the several bureaus which have
been taken possession OF by the RefOrmers, have
been collected 10y the Committee, but have not yet
been put in the form of report. These reports
would fill many columns of THE TRIBUNE, but would
only serve to confuse the general reader and render
less integbe the real story of the nature Of these
viIainous transactions. The reporters have chosen
therefore TO give the facts reached by this inquiry
rather than couple the story with tables of little
meaning in detail but of great import IN their totals
In this mass of transcripts of accounts, so ahori-
ously made the same old company of TOgues who
robbed the county figure as pickpockets. Garvey,
IngersOl Smith, Miller, Berrian, and Others, who
have been so long and unfavorably known 10y the
community which they have so thoroughly heeced,
are the city thieves and the record Of their ransac
tons is almost transcript of the published reports
of their operations with the county except that they
are a smaller and meaner scale. The labors Of
the Committee however, prove that these robbers
who plundering the county of millions did not
disdain thousands, and whenever it was possible
land they created the possibility very frequently
they did not hesitate to steal hundreds.
