Young Croker's body is held here and
to-day an autopsy will be held to deter

general that Croker was first drugged

Measures to Discover #
Police Are Bribed.


The Grand Jury at yesterdays ses-
sion. which lasted well into the night,
decided to instruct Prosecutor Speer to
draw bin Of Indictment against Chief
Of Police Murphy and Police Captain
Cody. Of the Gregory Street Station, in
connection with the recent raid of the
alleged pooroom at No 81 Newark ave-
nue., said to have been run by Prince"
Jerry Murphy, about month ago.
The raid, as win be remembered, was
made at the instance Of DR.. Arthur Wal
scheid, foreman Of the Grand Jury, who
with Juror Newton Lawrence, found
their way into the alleged poolroom, the
Doctor succeeding in placing bet on
horse running at the Benning's track.
During the raid seven men, alleged TO
have been employed in connection with
the running of the concern, were caught
behind a partition and arrested on
charges of aiding and abetting in gam
bling. a LOT of pooIroom paraphernalia,
including racing cards, charts, telephone,
etc. were also taken in possession By
the police, who were acting under the
direction Of Captain Cody, who led the
raiding party The men arrested were
held by Police Justice Higgins in the
First Criminal Court for the Grand Jury
il $1,000 bail each.

case, including the statement of Former

made at a meeting Of the Minkakwa
Club to the effect that ST .00o a week was
being paid for protection to poolroom
gambling. Mr.. Simpson. when summoned
before nfe Grand Jury. said that Judge
Blair had incidentally made remark to
that effect in the ordinary course of con-
yersation. Judge Blair voluntarily went
before the Grand Jury ia behalf Of Mr.
Simpson and explained that he had mere
y heard that such was the case
The ordering drawn Of bill Of indict-
ment against the Chief aud Captain
Cody is considered merely another step
to get at the bettom of the rumor con-
corning money paid for police protec-
tion- The Grand Jury evidently hopes
that some evidence may possibly crop ont
that viii bear more directly on the rumor.
Chief Murphy says he has nothing to
fear from an Investigation of any charge
10 the effect that the gambling laws are
not properly enforced. He says the po-
lice have done all in their power to sup
press gambling. Men Of the department
have been sent OUT repeatedly to secure
evidence against alleged poolrooms. but
the gambling sharps were always ap-
parently on the alert. and it has proved
difficult 70 secure evidence sufficiently

County Clerk John Rotterdam and other
Gl o. 2. lights
The Skeeters gave Mack, new
pitcher, trial. Ii was through no
fauAt Of Mack that Providence won the
game. His work gave much satisfac-
tion though he was at times a trifie un-
steadN or fighty. Even at that he held
his OWN with Josslyn, the crack twirler
that Providence sent into the box, and
gave evidence of mastering his delivery
and generalshdp with bit more Of expe-
rience.
Poland, for Providence, started the
game with q drive to left field, but got no
fflfsher than first On the hit He reach

stranded there. No player on either side
got beyon first until the fourth inning
Several Of the ClaIndiggers tried to steal

Keister, but Mcfarland beat it home,
scoring the first run in the game. The
Skeeters tied the score IN the Sixth. Me-
Auley doubled, advanced to third on
