A BOLD CAME.
Hoboken Detectives Stop
an Attempt at Black
mailing.
CAUGHT THE PRINCIPAL
Three Men Masqueraded AS
United States Revenue
Officials.

The official detectives of Hoboken yes-
terday defeated a bold attempt at black
mail. The official Hawkshaws, Detec-
tives Fenton and Quinn, were compli-
mented by Recorder Stanton this morn
ing for the shrewdness they displayed in
obtaining the evidence in the case.
Mrs. Matte Hoffman, who runs =
restaurant at No. 221 River street. was
arrested few days ago on complaint of
License Inspector Haggerty, who accused
her of selling liquor without license.
Her hearing was set down for today.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Hoffman alleges,
three men called on her and represented
themselves to be United States Revenue
officers. The United States Court had
taken up her case, they told her, and
intended to deal severely with it, For the
sum of 800 they could fix things up. they
said by disposing of the witnesses. Twen-
ty dollars must be paid to each for doing
the work.
Mrs. Hoffman acquainted her neighbor,
Mrs Colligan, with the alleged revenue
officers proposition and Mrs Colligan adj
vised her to lose no time in notifying the
police. Mrs. Hoffman did so, and De-
tectives Quinn and Fenton were on hand
at the time when it was agreed to pay the
money over.
When they arrived they bored two holes
in the cellar door so as to command
view of the room in which the deed was
be transacted. They sat with their eyes
glued to the holes for over two hours be-
fore they were rewarded for their vigil.
George D. Nording, who keeps a saloon
at No. Sc Garden street, and who was
witness against Mrs. Hoffman, entered
the room. He repeated his offer to get
rid of the witnesses by sending them to
Brooklyn. Nording. Quinn stated in court
this morning, exhibited the subpoenas Of
the witnesses, Frank Servas, of No, 2l4
River street, and Justice of the Peace
Erich Gresicke of No. 317 Madison street.
1t was learned that the two were in
waiting in Nording's saloon. After
Nording himself had been arrested they
were secured.
Recorder Stanton, when he heard the
evidence held Nording in $500 bail for the
Grand Jury. Mrs. Hoffman pleaded
guilty to the charge of selling liquor
without a license and was fined $50. She
was also held in 500 bail to insure hezE
presence as witness against Nording.
There was no evidence submitted to
prove that either Servas or Gresicke was
directly implicated in the affair and they
were discharged.
