OH YES. THEY ALL CLOSE DE LACY's.

in Park row, or says he does Captain Lantry has
been in Oak-st 2 week. and he said yesterday that
he had kept De I.acy's place closed whole week.
1t may be all q mistake. but matter how often
captains come and go in Oak-st. there are men in
Park Row who say De Iacys place never closes.
II is peculiar too. that no matter how often cap

place there never is a raid there. Nobody ever is
arrested at De Lacys. Lantry said yesterday that
he closed the place a week by going there with
four detectives and telling somebody there bust
