COMSTOCK RAIDS CLOTHING.
ATTITUDE Advocate Detects a Lottery
In Mems suits.

Anthony Comstock and a couple of uni
formed cops from the Old Slip police station
raided last evening an alleged clothing
lottery in room 2O8 in the building at II
and 70 Nassau street. The firm name
was Murphy h Weber, but the business
was conducted, Comstock says, by
Charles II. Heatley. so years old, an Eng
lish salesman, OF 1I5 Hamilton place, and
Robert Williams 81 years old. also a sales
man, of 100 West IO2d street. The men
we're locked up in the Old Slipt station
house.
The firm is said TO nave done a very large
business in Brooklyn. but very little in New
York. Comstock seized 1O2 boards, 400
covers and 1 900 cards for entering
He says they are lottery apparatus. He
alleges that the firm operated by placing
the boards in restaurants, liquor stores
and other business houses throughout
Brooklyn. Each Of the boards was punc-
tured with seventy-five round holes, and in
seventy-four Of the holes were numbers.
In the last hole was a small round ball,
like a pool ball, upon which was stamped
a number. The holes were pasted over
with paper on both sides. When any one
desired to take a chance on a suit OF clothes
he punched out a hole and secured a num-
Der. or. II lucky, the ball. He paid the
amount, somewhere between one and rs
cents, that his number called for and re.
ceived credit for that much on a suit OF
clothes. II ne secured b ball he got his
suit for az much n the ball called for. The
total amount realized on n board would
be $3.50. and IS Of this went to the pro.
prietor Of the place in which the board
was placed. The police Say several hun
dreds Of the boards were out and very
few OF those who drew numbers presented
them for credit on suits, 40 that the profit
was enormous and the firm had only Il
deal with those who drew the balls.
The firm had only a few suits ns a stool
in the room at II and 70 Nassau street.
