manded it,
Mr.. Jerome directed this raid too. and after
ward waited for news at the City Club. Faro

concealed roulette wheels were brought out,

the raid. with Assistant District Attorney Lord
\ few faro boxes were found, but roulette
wheels.
Middleton was arrested on the charge of keep
ing a gambling house. The doors of his place
were broken down with axes and sledges. Not
a sign of life was observable from outside.
There was an atmosphere Of suppressed excite
ment in the Thirtieth-st. station all night. and
this gave rise to the opinion, after the raid.
that the gamblers had been tipped off. for the
police found no one and all the tables and
paraphernalia had been hastily put away
The raiders began to leave the station about
half an hour after midnight and, taking circu-
itous routes went to the house. Downstairs,
where there was a barroom and a bowling alley.

tered them. The patrons of the Cairo and the
Bohemia. near by, all turned out 70 watch the
raid. Middleton captured downstairs on
the third floor We're bedrooms f the Middle
tons. The captain found here several thousand
chips
Captain Surfeind much Chagrined be-
cause he did not catch the men at play. 1t is
believed he also thinks the place was tipped off.
He thought there must be more paraphernalia,
and e had his men search. Thew broke down
all the closet doors which had been locked. and
they found the frame of a table which Captain
Burfeind said was the frame of roulette wheel
This was discovered in secret closet in the
