Chief of Police Brennan Has Closed
All Their Dens.

CHICAGO. Jan. S.-Chief Brennan's
order to close all gambling houses has
cast a gloom over the members of the
fraternity. Many of the sports came
downtown last night and discussed the
latest edict OF the police. Judging from
their faces they did not seem to be jubi-
Ian. over the situation.
The opinions of the gamblers vary as
to the real outcome of the crusade
against gambling. one OF the owners Of
n gambling house consented to talk.
but requested not to have his name used.

While some Of the owners are sangtiIne
of seeing the police order revoked within
a few days, their employees do not seem
to be as sure OF It, and many of them say
they intend leaving Chicago for more fer
tile fields. TIL order to close did not
have any effect upon several people. and
consequently their places were raided.

1t is the private Office of the chief Of

Officers Slelth, Sneak and Tracem had
been detailed to work on the case"
Chief-Officer Sleuth, what success
have you TO report?
but partial success, captain"
"You located the scene accurately?"
ayes, sir; the body was found with
two bullet holes through the back.
There was no weapon about abe body

There can be no mistake about this,
Officer Sleuth?"
None whatever, Captain, 1t Is quite
plain murder has been committed"

have you TO report?
Officer Stakeholder Tracem and
worked together, while Lieut.. Sleuth
went inside"
"How long was this after the body
was found?"
Supposed to be about seven hours,
sir. As the lieutenant went inside he
walked three times carefully around
the house; we took accurate measure
ment OF the woodshed door and noted
the color of the paint on the gate post,
aud gathered such other clews as we
thought might be useful at the trial"
"And did you see no suspicious per-
sons?"

Certainly! The corpse also had on 3

What was his age?"

the murdered man, and we felt justified
in letting him off, though the lieuten-
gave him a sharp lecture"

That is as far as we have got with
the case. captain, though we think we
can establish that street car passed
the house some time in the night; a
milk wagon passed next morning and
the wind was blowing from the north
west at the time"
Chief-Gentlemen, you are doing
splendidly; such conduct will add luster
to our record for efficiency. Now it is
fairly established that the man was
killed-though this will be verified by
an autopsy by the police surgeoa; 1t is
fairly certain that he was killed al homo
aud that he was not killed before COM
ing home; with the measurements OF
the wood shed door, the direction OF the
wind, the milkman incident and the
two suspicious arrests there ought to
be no difficulty 10 running the perpe-
rors TO earth, though one important
clew may have escaped you. You
should have noted whether the bricks
OF the pavement showed signs Of hav-

proud of your success, gentlemen, and
