HUGHES CAUGHT ON BEHIND.
Policeman's Clever Capture of an
Alleged Horse Thief
The Bluecoat Also Had to Stop the
Runaway Horse.

Policeman William Hughes, OF the
Vernon avenue station. Williamsburg.
made a clever capture this morning.
He was walking along Broadway when
he saw a fine light wagon. drawn by a
bay horse, go past him. Hughes
thought the rig answered the descrlp-
ton of one that had been stolen from
Joseph Greenberg. of 40 Broadway, SO
he called upon the driver to stop,
Instead of doing SO the driver lashed
his horse and went down Broadway on
the dead run. Hughes grabbed the tail
board of the wagon, and after hard
struggle, managed to Chamber inside.
AS he did so the driver, Henry Brower,
struck at him with the butt end OF his
whip, but Hughes parried the blow,
closed with the man and the two had a
very lively fight while the horse was
going at top speed. -
If the fight had been continued few
minutes longer it Is probable that both
men would have been thrown out and
killed Hughes subdued his man hnaliy,
and then had hard time in quieting the
horse.

1t was rumored this morning that the
Law and order League OF Brooklyn
would attempt to get the Grand Jury to
take some action against certain city
officials for their alleged neglect in en-
forcing the Excise law.
The rumor undoubtedly arose from the
fact that several members of the
League went before the Grand Jury yes
terday and swore to certain alleged vio-
lations of the law.
1t was said this morning that among
the witnesses examined were Freeborn
Garretson Smith, Rev. /. *. Funk and
several amateur detectives.
Some of these witnesses told Of visits
they had made to certain saloons on
various Sundays, and declared that the
police made no attempt to enforce the
liquor laws.
The members Of the League were un-
certain as to what they wanted the
Grand Jury to DO in the matter. The
Grand Jury promised to consider the
allegations laid before them, and the
subject may be touched upon in pre-
sentiment next Friday.
The members of the League will prob
ably give further evidence tomorrow.
