IMPLORES SCHIEREN'S HELP.
Mrs. Daldwin's Complaint to the
Mayor Against Justice TiEhe.

Justice Tighe, of the Butler Street
Police Court, Brooklyn. was the subject
of letter received by Mayor Schieren
from Mrs. Lunda Baldwin, of 105 Degraw
street, who says she Is being prosecuted
by Tlghe and his clerk, Joe McGarry.
Recently, Mrs. Baldwin says, she was
called to Justice Tighe's court in a
matter over which he had no jurisdic-
tion. A gentle present, who said
she was imposed upon had the case
transferred to a civil court, where 1t
was dismissed.
Then Mrs. Baldwin received a second
summons from Tighe and McGarry to
appear In court FOR calling a woman
IA bad name.'
When she arrived In court, she says.
the complainant offered to settle the
matter for SO.
When called before the bar Mrs. Bald
win protested that she had never even
used mild insulting insinuations against
the complainant. but she was told by
Justice Tighe to come back again on
June 20.
Mrs. Baldwin now wants to have tho
case transferred from Tighe's court to
some other tribunal, where she may ex-
pect justice.

PRIVATE MA|L-8OXES ROBBED.
Expert Thieves Operating in the
Wholesale District.
Checks and Drafts Taken in Spite
of Watching.

1t was learned at Police Headquarters
this morning that two of Inspector Nc
LauEhlin's men and two ward men OF
the Leonard street station have been
working for the last two weeks to cap
ture the thieves who have been rob-
b.ng mail from the private boxes OF
merchants.
From time to time thefts have been
reported in different parts of the city,
but for the most. part they have been
confined to the wholesale districts.
In the last month the neighborhood or
base of operation. The skilful manner
in which the work has been carried on
can be understood from the fact that
one maii-boX was broken open and
spector McLaughlm's detectives had been
set to watch that box especially.
The merchant latest to call the atten-
ton OF the police to the robberies was
George NJ. Matteson, hardware broker,
of III Duane street. His mail-box is at
the entrance to the building. with those
OF number of other merchants. The
brokers' business Is one in which the
reinittances are for the most part made
through the mails in the, form OF in
closures of checks and drafts. East
mail delivery brings a large batch OF
letters.
The police believe the thieves are no
ordinary ones, apd that Broker Matte,
sons box was selected because the mail
1t contained was known to be valuable.
while the boxes of others close to it
were undisturbed.
ON May 81 all the business mails were
heavy after the Memorial Day holiday.
1t was on that day that Mr.. Matteson's ;
box was broken open, as well as some
others in the neighborhood. MIR. Matte
sons mall contained checks for several
thousand dollars.
Mr. tt.son's mail-box was again
broken open last Friday morning and the
mail carried off.
Detectives say the Matteson box was
opened by an expert. The lock was
pried open with an instrument that left
only a slight mark to show where the in
strument had been inserted
There is notice on the box now,
reading:
Don't put any more mail In this
box"
This Is to warn letter-carriers. The
detectives seem to have discovered TO
clue to the thieves.
In the mean time the merchants in the
neighborhood are wondering whether
such mail as IL overdue has fallen into
the hands of the gang. or whether their
correspondents are delinquent.

Lawyer Corrao also touches on the

The charges contained in the letter will

1t is G. melancholy truth, the lawyer
states. that a large amount of the abuse
to which the ignorant Italian citizens
are subject is from their own country

ignorant but honest and Industrious
Italian Is lIred to leave his money
