GOT HIS GRIP AND PAPERS.
Franchise for Traction Company and
Bonds Recovered

NEW YORK, August 13-Thomas Losee
a lawyer of Patchogue, L. l.. went into
Broadway department store July 16 to pur-
chase some handkerchiefs and, neckties
While in the store Losee put grip he had
been carrying on the floor. When he went
to look for 1t the grip was gone.
There were lot of things in the valise
that Lawyer Losee didn't want to lose He
had been arranging to promote the new
Suffolk Traction Company, and in the grip
was a franchise for the road There were
also bonds for security for the franchise.
One bond was for $4,000 on the Empire
Security Company.
Some time ago Lawyer Losee got an
anonymous letter telling him that his papers
and grip would be turned over to him for
a consideration. He showed the letter to
Inspector McCafferty, who advised him to
make an appoin tment with the writer of
the letter. Losee did so, and yesterday
afternoon he stood in front of ~ East 18th
street. Lieuts Murphy and Carette of the
detective bureau were nearby. Three men
and the grip showed up. The three men
were arrested. They said they were John
Hanlon, Andrew Farrell and David Pei
Finger. They were locked up at police head
quarters on charge of grand larceny. The
grip had the papers Lawyer Losee wanted.
