narrow hall, they saw the three men

Thought Gambling Was Done Upstairs.
Sitting as a committing magistrate,
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor In Brooklyn

them against his will and his protests from
March IL to March "a. and held them for
trial before the Court of.Speciab Sessions.
Michael McPadden keeps a cigar store
at ~ Hamilton avenue. The floor above
the store Is occupied by the Water Front
Social Club. Capt Summers heard that
gambling was being carried on in the club
rooms and sent three Of his precinct men
to watch McPadden's store. They en-
tered without warrant and McPadden
contendcd that as a result his business
was intcrfered with to his pecuniary loss.
The four police officers were represented
In court yesterday by Assistant Corporation
Counsel Callahan. Mr.. McPadden was
represented by Eugene Conran. Mr.. McPad-
den testified that Capt. Summers and his
men visited his store on March ~ and asked
for tho keys to the clubroom above. He
told them he did not have them, ard the
police stayed around his store until o
o'clock in the evening. He said that the
police kept guard on his store until March
"a, although he frequently ordered them
to leave. They told him they were there
by the captains orders.
