TWO BAGS OF LIQUOR.
Queer Find of a Policeman In Hobo
ken. Where Queer Things Happen.

Night Waterman Thomas Murphy saw
two men carrying bags filed with some
thing heavy en- their shoulders, walking
through Court street, near First street,
Hoboken. about ten + O'Clock last night.
He thought they were burglars who were
trying to escape with their booty and
decided to intercept them. AS he ap-
preached, he men dropped their bundles
and ran away Murphy blew his whistle,
but the men escaped through the dark
street. The bags were taken to Police
Headquarters, where it was found they
contained sixty-seven bottles of liquor,
cognac whiskey and gin.
The police concluded that the men were
s~mugglers. Detectives searched the yes
sells along the river front, but no trace
of them could be found.
Policeman McKenna while patrolling
Washington street, heard Waterman
Murphy's call for assistance. HI found
a man unde the influence of drink OPP
posite Fire Headquarters, on Hudson
street, who closely resembled the descrip-
ton of one of the alleged smugglers and
arrested him on suspicion.
McKenna told Captain Hayes that when
he placed the man under arrest the latter
said:-"We got away with the stuff, any
way" The man, he said, refused to
make any further explanation of his
strange remarks.
The prisoner gave his name as John
Olesen. He said he was a sailor on one
OF the vessels lying river ifOHl.
He gave the name of three or four yes
sells, but investigation showed that he
was not known on any OF them.
Captain Hayes closely questioned Olesen
and concluded hat he was drunk and in
structed Policeman McFNenna to with draw
his charge of suspicion against Olesen.
The latter was held, however, upon a
charge of intoxication and this morning
was fined 50 by Recorder McDonough.
The police are puzzled to know whether
the bottles were struggled or stolen. They
are now inclined to believe that they were
