the stuff here. In this crowd there are
cocaine victims, and there are thieves,
and for four years they have been go

and tod Seaman not to allow such
young men as these to frequent his
place, but he told me that he was cap
able of caring for his own place.
''1here is notorious thief" said the
policeman, 'and there are three CO.
caine fiends known to us ALL" The
policeman pointed out three young men
whose faces clearly bore out the state
ment.
Policeman Crawford went still further
and said that the place was a nest for
thieves and cocaine fiends, and that
they remained there every night in wait
for their friends who make a practise
Of buying cocaine in New York and
bringing it to this city.
