tnIlIlNH NN lux oht BCN-il plO-
moter who recently Jumped his bail, was
raided Yesterday afternoon upon a. search
warrant granted by Magistrate Wahle,
Two SITES were smashed and four desks
were broken into. From them a great
mass Of books and papers bearing on the
operations Of Goslin and his oonfederates
were Il aiken to the District Attorneys office,
where they will be examined tomorrow
morning. Warrants ha We also been issued
for the search of several other Offices main
tanned by the 0oslin crowd, and 1t is ex-
pected that documentary evidence Of, a
gigantic swindling enterprise with branches
in many parts Of the country will be brought
to light,
The office raided yesterday was the head
qua rters Of the outfit. 1t Is on the seventh
floor of the Morton Building at 118 Nassau
street, 1t comprises three rooms on q cor
ner Of the passage, 30 arranged that while
avisitor was coming in at the main entrance
Goslin could be warned in time to clip out OF
a door close to the elevator and get down
stairs linobserved.
The raid was in charge OF Detective
Sergeant Bernard McConvile, who went to
the BAR Association in the afternoon and
got Ma gistrate Wahle to sign the warrants.
On his way downtown he picked up a safe
expert.
Al first the ~janitor OF the building de-
INJURED at letting the detective into the
office. which has been tenantless since
Goslin ran away. Finally McConville con-
WINGED him and the detective and the safe
eXpert went in. The three rooms are
rather small, but were handsomely fur
nished, having roll top desks along the
walls and expensive rugs on the floor. In
the inner office, which is supposed to have
been Cos Inns sanctum and from which a
door with no ms cription ON it except the
number opens into the hall close by the
elevator, was a tree with several hats and
coats on ii, The next door, TIP, was marked
in gold letters Manhattan Realty Assoc
Gates
In the outer office was a huge safe with
double doors. 1t bore no ins cription ex-
ppt the names OF the makers. The safe
man broke through the dial Of the COM
bination and swung back the doors. A
raft Of books and papers were found in
side.
The expert next went at a safe In the
second room. This was a smaller AHA
with a single door, above which was painted:
New York Auto Car Co. Here the de-
Hactive got another great haul, including
Fhe stock books and the seal of the Black
Diamond Automobile Company, whose
main Office is at Utica. The roll top desks
yielded up another big batch Of stationery
and papers of various corporations with
high sounding titles, All the stuff was
bundled together and two policemen in
uniform carried it down to the street, where
1t was dumped into a patrol wa gon and
carried to the Criminal Courts Building,
In the far corner of the second room,
attached TO a big desk, was a small tele-
phone switchboard. This board evidently
connected up a system OF private tele-
phones, and Judging by the numbers above
the cable tfere we're eight branches. As
it is known that Goslin had several Offices
it is supposed that they were connected
to headquarters through his switchboard.
The telephone numbers given on the sta
tionery of the various concerns which was
found in the Office are not in the telephone
directory. Ii was said that one Of Goslin's
offices was in a small room in the rear Of
the law firm Of Iippman d Ruck on the
eleventh floor of the Vanderbilt Building,
at 1872 Nassau street. Mr.. Lippmln is Cos
