Plainclothesmen Kaas and Sebold, of
the Fourth Precinct station, brought
about the arrest of two men on larceny
charges, and two others on charges of
gambling last night. All were ar
raigned in the Fourth Precinct Police
Court today. and two were fined and
the others were held for the Grand
Jury.
The principal catch was the recapture
of Simon Olosonoski, 20 years old, Of 81
Mercer street. charged with stealing a
gold watch and chain from Walter La
shoske, a saioonkeeper, of 81 Hayes
street. He was arraigned on this charge
yesterday, but as the evidence at the
time was rather weak, Judge Herr pa
rolled him to await the action of the
Grand Jury. A pawn ticket for the
missing jewelry was found in the police
station assembly room, where the de-
PENDANT had been seated, M Kaas n
Sebold worked on the case and found
hat the evidence was sufficient to re-
arrest Olosonoski, and they succeeded,
and he was held in default of 1880
bail.
Yesterday I thought you were inno-
cent" said Judge Herr, and paroled
you, out since l have learned hat was
not the case, and for this reason 1 will
make your bail 81, 500. Thus, you see,
it pays to speak the truth" added the
judge.
The arrest second in Importance was
that of Edward Granger, 26 years old,
of 2 Hazel terrace, charged systemati-
cally with stealing 1900 pounds of
sugar worth $75 from the Grand Union
tea store, 70 Springfield avenue. since
August %. The complainant was
Frank H. Brandon, manager of the
store, who discovered that the sales of
sugar were not bringing sufficient re-
turns. He conferred with Captain
Vogel and the latter placed his plain
~clothesmen on the job. They found
that while the manager of the store
and his wife would be at dinner
Granger, who worked in the store, had
customers go to the store and buy the
sugar.
Granger suspected finally that he was
being Swallowed, and several days age
when he spied Kaas he left a note in
charge of another clerk addressed to
fBrandon which stated tina he would
not be in for work, as he was sick,
That was the last seen or heard of
him until Kaas spied him on Belmont
avenue last evening While he was on
his way to r~earrest Olosonoski. Judge
Herr held Granger in default of $500
bail.
The other arrests were those of Joseph
Kendzienski, 80 years old, of 1876 Liv-
ingston street, a saloonkeeper at 1865
Belmont avenue. and Stanislaus Stan
kintzky, 80 years old, of 270 Broome
street, both charged with gambling
last Thursday night in the formers
saloon. While the proprietor was fined
$50 and costs, Stankintzky was
fined $40.
The arrest of the two latter was
brought about by Stankintzky, who
yesterday told Captain Vogel that he
had lost some $40 or more to the sa-
loonkeeper. He said he took part in a
di~ce-throwing contest for checks good
for five-cent drinks, and when he lost
and wanted to make use of some of the
checks the saloonkeeper refused to re-
deem them. Captain Vogel detained
him, and then arrested Kendzienski.
Both told stories in court today which
led to their conviction.
The saloonkeeper also admitted that
he had been arrested some time ago
for permitting card games for money
in his place, and he also admitted that
he is under bail on two charges, one
for maintaining a disorderly house at
1876 Livingston street and another for
selling without q license. Some time
ago the police raided the s~aloonkeep-
er's place on a Sunday for selling beer,
He had the brown beverage and hot
drinks carted from his saloon to his
home on Saturday night. and scores
went to the latter place on Sunday to
quench their thirst.
