into he street are Missing from town.
Hen Sedley OF New York, Blair Frazer
Of yracuse, j. B. Gl JASON OF Saratoga and
W. j. Moore Of Cob )es and New York are
in the same condit on a. was Reggie Van
,Crbilt all last year -exiles from Broadway.
For Capt. Flood o, the West Forty-seventh
street station, wac holds warrants charging
them with disor lerly conduct and felonious
assault, says at II they ever show up in
New York az lin, even II It is two years
hence he wit have them arrested.
It came out in the course OF the police
Investigations that the Aston fight was not
the only persihage that the quartet in
dulged in last Sunday morning At about
half past Q, and shortly before the Aston
affair, they met N. c. Mellen, an architect
Of p West ThiTtieth street, and beat him
up so badly, II Is alleged, that he didn't get
down to his ONCE for two days. Capt
Flood saw him, and while he admitted
that he was assaulted. he would not swear
out warrant because be dislikes publicity.
The management Of the Hotel Aston
made an informal complaint early In the
week. The detectives started on Wednes-
day night to find Moore, Sedley, Gleason
and Frazer 40 as to be ready for action.
The young men were not at their homes
nor az any OF their customary haunts. Tho
next morning the Aston people swore to
complaint, charging feloniOus assault
on Thomas Clinton, the porter. whom
Sedley according to his own story, knocked
senseess with cane, and on Patrick Foley,
another porter, who had q pair Of black
ewes to show. Three detectives started
out. but they couldn't find the young men.
At Moorp's rooms in West Forty-seventh
street his roommates said that they didn't
know where he was themselves. Sedley
hadn't been at his Offices In Maiden lane
since the row was pulled on, and as for
Gleason and Frazer, they don't live In
New York anyway They only visit, now
and then when they want a really untram-
meled time. Upon them the sentence Of
exile should bear lightly. but Capt. Flood
is wondering what Sedley and Moore. who
are supposed to have places OF business
in New York, are going TO do about Il.
In the midst Of their investigations. the
detectives heard iumor that Mr.. Mellen
had run afoul Of the four young men. He
was visited in his ONCE. He had the
bumps Of a recent beating still on his counte-
nance.
aOh, yes, they boat me, admitted MelIen,
but | really don't want TO make a COM
plant. Il might get into the papers.'
Mellen said that he got his at Forty
fifth street and Broadway, just opposite
the Aston. He had been In bed for two
days, and was moving q little stifiy on
Thursday when the detectives talked to
him.
Are you sure that these are the menu
they asked.
i haven't the slightest doubt said
Melen, Further he would not say
II the four young men are caught, Mr..
Melen will probably be summoned as a
witness
