New-York tribune., 1902-05-08

The strong arm Of the law has at last laid
hold of instalment dealers, the story of whose
dealings has been told in The Tribune Isaac
and Samuel Stromberg, two of the members Of
the largest and most powerful instalment house
on the Lower East Side, were yesterday
raigned before Magistrate Alfred +. Steers In
the First District Court of Kings a charge
of extortion The warrants were issued the
result of the investigation conducted by Assist
ant District Attorney Elder into whose hands
the Legal Aid Society placed the evidence in
the case.
The warrants were originally made out for
three persons, who appeared as Isaac Stromberg,
John Doe and Richard Roe. When the case
was called Gregorio Della Pia, who makes the
charges, identified Samuel Stromberg as Rich
ard Roe, and he promptly arrested. The
men were held in 500 bail for trial Friday.
Search for John Doe is going on. but a
member Of the Legal Aid Society told Tribune
reporter last night that this person had been
In hiding ever since The Tribune began its
crusade.
Della Pia's wrongs at the hands of the de-
PENDANTS as told by himself in his affidavit,
furnish an interesting comment on the manner
in which the instament business has been car
ried on. His story is as follows:

chain from Isaac Strombcrg instalment dealer.

ready and willing TO pay the same ! heard nothing
further from Stromberg or his collector until the
morning of March 3. 1892 at o'clock when three
entered my house. They pounded the
door and made great noise The men threatened to
smash down the door If ii opened at once.
My wife greatly frightened by the noise and
conduct Of the men, and became i'll from the ef-
fects of the fright.
Jumping out Of bed. I downstairs and
going into the kitchen found Stromberg and two
other men,. The door leading into the kitchen was
forced and ley had got in that way. As soon as
