WAR ON THE "CAPPERS.v
Alleged Nuisance at Police Court to b
Broken Up.

War has been declared on a certain class
of persons who, it is alleged, daily visit the
Police Court for the purpose of private gain
by preying on the unfortunates behind the
bars and their friends who visit court in
their interest. In the future professional
bondsmen and their ''cappers'' will have TO
give the Police Court wide berth. To that
end Asst Corporation Counsel Sinclair, who
is in charge of the prosecution of cases In the
District branch OF the court, has directed
the policemen on duty at the building to
prevent persons from loafing in and about
the temple of justice when il is known that
they are not there on official business.
They are to be warned to remain away,
and unless they pay attention to the warn
ing warrants for their arrest under the
vagrancy law will he issued and they Will
be hauled into court and tried
1t is alleged by persons WAC have fire.
quent business at the Police Court that
there are number of "cappers" who are
always to be found about the building
the sidewalk on the outside, who become
objectionable in many ways and obstruct
the passageway of pedestrians. Ladies
have frequently been seen to cross over TO
the other side of the street it is said. as
they neared the court building. in order
that they might not have TO pass in close
proximity to the crowd of pipe smokers and
tobacco eXpectorators who daily hang
around the court during the sessions. Al
soon the policeman on duty at the court
appears on the sidewalk these alleged
"cappers'' walk away, only to return again
and form crowd soon as the officers
back is turned. They not only congregao
the sidewalk but, II Is stated make
bold to enter the court building. go into
the witness rooms and stand around in the
Railways for the purpose OF plying theiI
vocation. Here they make known to per-
sons interested in others who are under
arrest the nature of their business and
arrange to give bond for them II the case IL
of that character. The ''cappers' do not
go on bond themselves, but are in the EN-
ploy % persons who make a practice of 60
ing on bonds. That class of bondsmen have
no fixed charges for their services. and often
times person under arrest has to pay
large sum in order to secure his liberty on
real estate security. The ''capper' is not
only paid by his employer, but if the person
under arrest is easily he also has to pay
for the securing of the bondsmen.
A number of attorneys who appear before
the court have frequently complained about
the "cappers'' and instances have been
noted where they have actually attempted
to interfere in cases where attorneys have
already been employed.
The fight is to be waged in earnest, and
persons who make a practice of spending
all their spare time in and around the tenn
pie Of justice may find themselves behind
the bars.
