CAPT. BROGAN AND THE HORSE DEALERS
Captain Brogan, of the Fifteenth Precinct, was
asked Yesterday if he had any answer 10 make To
the letter which Justice Bixby sent him IN reference
to the swindling horse dealers who 90 business ~
his precinct. THE principal point in the letter"
said the captain, is the statement that the Justice
thought that | knew Of the existence Of those those
swindlers in this precinct just the same as there Is ~
many other precincts but must also assert that
have done everything IN my power W uP 'HO
gang Ihaye arrested the men many times, but they
have always been discharged by the Police Magis-
trate on the ground that the persons VINO were
swnded could only seek redress by civil proceed
ing for the return OF their money IL Is very hard IN
the first place to get complainant against Tue
swinders, and when i do. the prisoners are dis
charged because the case is not criminal one.
Wien found that could not break the business up,
detailed officers in the neighborhood of the stables
IN warn peonlc against trading with the men. My
officers have kept number of men from being swim
died but lately have been compeed TO take my off,
away from the stables to attend tolottery cases
intend now though 10 arrest these men as suspicious
Dersons every time see them standing around the
stables perhaps that method may prove better than
making o direct charge against the men. Know
that the svIndlers are a nuisance. but am power
less to prevent their operations In list the other
day of forty advertisements for the sale of horses
saw the names of thirty-two of these horse swim
dle-s." -,
The case of Daniel Brown, one of the horse swi IN
oilers who were arrested saturday, will be taken be:
fore the Grand Jury to-day. Octavian Willard, OF
No 2i2 West Thirtiethst.. and Pierre ID. Van Hoe
Fen of No. 81 South st appeared as complaIn;ants
against the men yesterday. Mcknight and Collins
were rcmanded until this morning when additional
testimony will be taken by Justice Bixby.
