Three Places Said to BE Still in Active
Operation.

Three Places Said to BE Still in Active
Operation.
The policy people are thoroughly frightened
and perhaps justly So for District Attorney Cole
has decided to bring them all into court and
make them answer the charges.
The recent action of Capt. Cole. it ia thought
caused a decrease in the policy business in this
city, as many Of the writers became frightened
and quit work and the hackers of the game in
Virginia became more careful in their opera
tons.
According to reports there are two policy
shops at Monte Carlo" or Jackson CITY, a,
the south end Of the Long bridge. where they
run with open doors without much, if any, at
tempt to conceal their Legitimate business
and another firm, it is said, has its headquar
tiers near the Virginia end of the Free bridge
across the river from Georgetown.
Detective Sutherland has a warrant for
Messrs. Nelson and Fosters, alleged hackers OF
one Of the Monte Carlo" firms.
Although there has been Il decrease in the
business it is stated that some writers are still
at work. and are gathering in the hard
and white people who live about the
alleys. When the writer's know that the officer.
are on the alert they confine their operations tC
the allie = it is said. cause they feel that they
are less likely to geI caught.
Since the raid on Horbach's place here several
arrests have been made by the precinct officers
independent OF the nineteen warrants sworn out
by exDetective Geo. o. Miller, for alleged
writers for HorbacL firm.
In the third precinct Officers OBrien and
Bell have made number of arrests, while in
the fourth precinct Policeman Mulvey has dis
PLAYED activity In that direction.
There was nothing done in court TODAY in
he policy cases except that Detective Suther.
land and Policeman Grealey, who are under
charge OF promoting policy, published in
yesterday STAR, gave bail in the sum of $500
each for their appearance.
Ii Wa thought that counsel for the accused
officers would appear i'll court today and ask
that day be set for the trial but no such mo-
ton was made and the case has not vet been
set for any particular day.
1t was reported that the charge against the
officers Was to have been noile pressed this
morning and the officers objected to such a way
OF ending the case.
"We have been accused" said Detective
Sutherland to STAR reporter, land we want a
vindication at the hands OF the court
Mr.. Mullowney, The prosecuting attorney,
was asked about the rumor thaS he had in
tended nolle pressing the case and he said there
wa no truth in it,
Jerome Colll!ower, whose name appears on
the informa ton complainant in the case OF
the accused officers, called on the prosecuting
torney Yesterday afternoon and wanted
to Withdraw the charge. He said that
if he had sworn to the information he did it
through Misrepresentation, as he did not want
to appear as the prosecuting witness.
Mr.. Mullowney. who made out the informa-
tion said that the witness was sworn in the
usual manner and that his answers we're per-
fectly satisfactory and sufficient on which to
file the charge.
Precinct Detective Weldon, who was de-
tailed In the district attorneys Office some DAYS
ago. is still there, conducting the policy nvesti-
cation, and the result of his labors will be shown
in the near future. when some OF the policy
men will be brought into court
