quarters.

With Captain Carroll on the Joel
Parker excursion. Detective Sergeant
Frank w. Tuite, who is In charge OF
the detective bureau for the day, went
cut this morning and raided the stock
tipping Office of J. Overton Paine, on
the fourth floor of the building at 196
Market street. Paine was arrested In
Market street as he was leaving a cafe
by Tuite and Detective Sergeant Hor-
.er Paine asked that he be allowed
TO telephone to his counsel, and this per-
mission was granted him. He was then
xaken to headquarters and booked on a
charge of swindling.
Then Paine was taken to the First
Criminal Court, but Deputy Clerk
Freeland refused to consider a bail
proposition. Judge Howell could not
be located, and Tuite took Paine back
to headquarters, where Chief Corbitt
paroled Paine in custody of his coun-
sci. Ralph M. Lum.
Paine was considerably surprised
when Tuite approached him and told
him he was under arrest. For the first
time since the police have taken action
against Paines tipping bureau, Paine
lost his self-possession. 1t was only for
moment, however, as he soon COM
posed himself.
After placing Paine under arrest
Tuite and Horter went to the office of
the tipping bureau and seized all visi-
BILE circulars and the few books the
tipping bureau contained. Tomorrow
morning Paine will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Howell in the First Criminal
Court on charge of swindling.
Detective Sergeant Frank w. Tuite
went to the office of j. Overton Paine
& Co. last Friday and asked him to
go to headquarters. Paine complied,
and had long interview with Cap
tain Carroll. He was ordered by Car
roll to quit business in this city under
threat of arrest. Paine defied Carroll
from last Friday until this morning.
Yesterday the head of the tipping
concern paid Captain Carroll a visit
He was told by Carroll that he must
abandon his business. Paine insisted
that he would continue, and that he
was doing nothing illegal.
During the consultation Paine grew
quite indignant at the request of the
police that he close up.
I'll fight to the last ditch" said the
stock tipster; 'it would be ungentle-
manly for me to retreat"
This morning Tuite was placed in
charge of the bureau while CAPTAIN
Carroll went off with the Parhers.
With the routine business attended to
early in the morning Tuite went over
to the First Criminal Court and de-
cided to bring the matter to an issue,
as Paine insisted in defying the hu-
thorities. Tuite swore out a complaint
charging ]. Overton Paine with know
ingly and wilfully selling Information
on the marketable stocks, which in
formation he knew to be absolutely
false" Stripped Of legal verbage the
complaint is swindling.
Tuite went with Horter to tile Of
five of j. Overton Paine, but the lat
ter was not in his Office, not having
arrived for the days business. Tuite
waited in Market street and JHorter
tpotted Paine. Paine entered d cafe
and when he emerged he was placed
under arrest and taken to headquar-
ters.
