Skin, a proprietress OF an alleged dis
orderly house at 1873 East Fifteenth
street
Wright had a warrant issued In York
willie Court yesterday for Mrs. Skin $
arrest. Justice Meade. who granted the
warrant. gave II to Court Officer Harti-
gan to execute. No one but the Judge.
Wright and Hartigan knew 1t had been
issued. When Hartigan called at the
house this morning he was surprised TO
hear Mrs. Skin say:
II could have got away If wanted
to. ! heard there was warrant out for
Hartigan took her TO court and
Justice Mcmahon held her for further
exam!na ton In $500 ball. Wright mn lie
an a:!fidavit to the effect that he. while
accompanied by a woman. hired a room
az Mrs. skins house. on Aug. I. After
telling her that he knew her when she
kept "a house in East Twentieth street,
he says she then said:
81 must be cautious. as have been
ordered to close and get out by the Cap

AS she was being led downstairs to

Hartigan:
What a fool 1 was not to have gone
away when Wright told me last night
about the warrant"
on being questioned, she said that
Wright sent her three notes by mes
senser last night, stating that he want
ed tn see her outside. She finally saw
him. and he told her that he had sworn
out a warrant against her in the after
noon, and asked her for SO for giving
her the information before she was ar
rested. SO that she could skip away.
Hartigan at once informed Justice
Mcmahon what the woman said, and
Mrs. Skiff was recalled to court. Wright
could not be fopnd in the neighborhood.
Mrs. Skiff told her story to the mag
istrate, but as she did not give Wright
any money. the Judge was unable to
issue a warrant for Wrights arrest. as
there II no law prohibiting any one but
, court officials from giving information
regarding warrants.
Justice Mcmahon at once sent for
Capt. Gallagher however. and the latter
took charge of Wrights case.

SCORED BY THE JUSTICE.
Policeman StrinKer Lectured for n
Foolish Arrest.

Capt. Seipert. Of the Union Market
police station. received an anonymous
communication that the rear of the cigar
store at SAT Fifth street was run as II
policy shop. where men, women and
children are seen to enter daily. Police
man Strnger was detailed to investi-
gate the matter. Stringsr entered the
place III is morning and arrested Max
Haas. whom he found In the place.
Your Honor" said the officer, II en-
tered the place and found the defendant
sitting at a table. saw no one pur-
chasing any policy slip, and arrested
the man on the strength OF the letter
received by the Captain"
why did you make this arrest %
asked Justice S.mms. You must have
known that It was foolish one to make,
as you have no evidence that the place
Is "A policy shop, and the defendant con
sequently must be discharged. / am op-
posed to arrests OF this kind. Officers
should not make an arrest II they do
not see the law violated
In this case you have done Just what
you should not have done. You arrested
him when he did not violate any law,
and thereby placed him on guard so thai
he will be careful that he Is not caught
when he II actually violating the law.
Arrests OF this sort Is only child's play,
and does not help TO wipe out these
places that ought never TO exist"
Haas was arrested twice before for
the same ofrense and discharged.
