on the business was made perfectly plain
last night in the court when the prisoners
were arraigned. Lawyer McDermit, in
asking that the court fix as early a date
as possible for a hearing, said that he
would like to have the formal examination
take place soon, in order to establish
whether the police had a case or not. Mr..
McDermit said his client would resume
business today, as he commended that the
company was doing a legitimate business
and should not be prevented from conduct
ing it by the police.
IF you open tomorrow we will raid 1t
again" said Tuite in reply, land we will
raid 1t every time you open 1t. It's up to
the Grand Jury to settle this case"
Its nothing of the kind said McDer-
nit in reply. ITS for this court to
establish a prima facie case"
Mr.. Knight said a civil action would
determine whether or not the company
could carry on the business.
Judge Howell, in refusing the demand
for an early hearing, declared that the
rights Of the State must be considered
and looked after and it would be unfair
to the police to ask them to present their
case In a few days. He therefore suggest
ed that the examination be put off until
August 10. This was agreeable to all the
parties and the hour was set for 4 O'Clock
so as not to interfere with the business
OF the company.
The raid was carefully and well planned
and there was not a hitch. Tuite with De-
tective Sergeants Hcr.er, Fohs, Temple
ton, Cordano and Kuhn found the place
at it's busiest. Tuite entered and with a
John Doe warrant placed every one pres
emit under arrest.
When told that he was under arrest,
Nolan made no objection, He asked the
detectives If they had a warrant and was
told that they had. A second raiding party
consisting of Detective Sergeants Meehan,
Donovan, CORDIALLY and Koerber went to
the place. Each detective took one or two
of the men arrested to headquarters.
While the raid was at It's height there
walked into the room a man who said that
he had. merely happened in to pay a visit.
Tuite saw him and asked who he was.
Nolan said he was a friend. The man at
tempted to walk out. but Tuite grabbed
him. The man told such a plausible story
that 1t looked for a time as though he
would be liberated, but Tuite ordered his
party not to let him go. When the man
was taken to headquarters he was found to
be William Palmer, of Orange, who gave
his address as the Aston House, New York
city. He proved to be one of the principals
In the case.
The thirteen prisoners were locked up

their number be taken out Of the cells or
another one taken in. When Nolan and
Palmer were sent in the minds of the
prisoners were made easy.
1t was the happiest bunch of prisoners
that ever struck headquarters. They had
not been incarcerated for five minutes
when four of the party struck up the
song w won't go home until morning.
The prisoners arrested were, or gave
