and who gave his name at the West
Thirtieth street station as John Bradley
of 1i5 West Ninety-ninth street. which ls
carriage factory, was arraigned before
Magistrate Deuel. in jefferson Market
police court yesterday morning and dis
charged. The mans right name Is not
Bradley or anything like it. His first name

The arrest was sequel to the raid made
last Friday by Assistant District Attorneys
Corrigan and Lord and several detectives
ON an alleged poolroom al 6s West Thirty
ninth street The raid was made after
a man, whose identity was not discovered
until yesterday, had complained to the
District Attorney that he had been swindled
out of $4,000 by the ancient wire tapping
game. In court yesterday it came out
that the complainant was Robert Craig
head of "a Locust street, Flushing, L, l.
That address is the home of Horace
Craighead, dealer in investment securi-
ties at $50 Nassau street. Horace Craig
head said that he had son Robert, who
was in business in New York. The father
declined to say in what business. The
son, so the father said, was visiting friends
in Manhattan. When Mr.. Craighead was
informed Of the case in which Robert Craig,
head figured as defendant he only said
-there must be some mistake
II is possible that there is a mistake 1t
is also possible that the senior Craighead
was mistaken when he said that his son
was in Manhattan. About the time he made
the statement two trunks, marked n
Craighead." arrived at the railroad station
in Flushing and left there on the ! o'clock
train, checked for Oil City, Pa. The bag
gage master said that the trunks had been
sent to the station by Mrs. Craighead.'
From an official source 1t was learned
last night that the complainant in the case
said, when he made the complaint, that he
was employed in the Eastern Offices of
railroad company whose main offices are
in Chicago.
When some of the officers whom Mr..
Craighead asked to interest themselves
in his troubles heard last night that trunks
way to Oil City, Pa. they were moved to

same time they said they were not SUR
prised.
When "John Bradley" reached the Thlr-
tieth street station after his arrest, he said
him was, that he was employed by big
railroad company and that, before the case
was over, Craighead would find himself in
voved in scandal, beside which being
swinded in poolroom would seem as
harmless as pink tea
Shortly after Bradley" was arrested, on
Wednesday night, the news was carried to
Assistant District Attorney Corrigan Mr..
Corrigan promptly notified the West Thir.
tieth street station that Craighead had
caused the arrest under the misappre,,
henson that bradley" was still wanted
by the police in the poolroom matter: Mr..
Corrigan explained that Bradley had been
