HORSES STARVED,
THREE MEN HELD
Stablemen Accused of Selling
Animals Feed to Con-
tractor.

On complaint of the investigators
of the Cook & Genung Company three
men were arrested last night charged
with starving the company's horses
and appropriating the feed money"
for themselves. The starved horses
last night were given their first good
meal they had received in months.
and the way they devoured the hay
and oats put before them was pitiful
to behold.
When arraigned before Acting
Judge Oehring in the Second Precinct
Police Court today Frederick Easton,
stableman; Michael Samuels, his as
s~istant, and Caesar Connara, of "
Garside street, a master mason, who.
1t is alleged, had been carrying away
the feed intended for the concerns
horses, were each held in $500 bail
for a hearing before Judge Herr on
Monday morning. Counsel for Con-
nara claimed that his client had not
been treated right, and now threatens
an action against the Cook & Genung
concern for false arrest.
Officials of the company have been
worried greatly by the strange NAL
ady which seemed to affect the

horses. Not long ago feveral OF the
horses in the Ogden street stables
became too weak to work and an IL
yestigation was begun.
Everyone around the stable looked
plump and prosperous except the 9
cupants of the stalls. FREDERICK
Easton, who has been employed by
the concern as a stableman for seven
years. said he was on the verge OF
weeping because of his failure to keep
his charges In proper training.
"They're such fine, affectionate AMI
mails their trouble spoils my W ap-
petite" he lamented. Sometimes
I'm ashamed to eat and keep fat
myself when l think of them"
but they're eating more hay and
oats. than we've ever bought for them
before. aren't they?" asked the con-
pany's investigator.
It never saw such appetites, as
scented the. stableman and ne brushed
a tear from his eye.
The investigator, puzzled, left. The
next day three additional teams, the
pride of the company's Jersey street
stables, were sent as reinforcements.
I'D went the Ieeu DlllS dhoticA hotSi
and down went the weight OF the
horses. On a second trip to the
stables the investigator was hardly
able to pick out the fresh teams
among the bags of bones lounsing
languidly In the stalls.
A veterinary was summoned. He
looked over horses and feed bills.
Then he said it was a case for con
sultation-and he consulted Police
Lieutenants Meehan and Donovan.
Easton, the sympathetic stableman.
was arrested. Michael Samuels, his
assistant, also. went to the station
house a prisoner. Then, to complete
the roundup, the detectives got a war
rant for Caesar Connara. of 70 Car
side street, a master mason. Connaras
they said, had been calling at the
stables every day and carrying away
on a truck that which was intended
for the innerhUfse of the Cook &c
Genung Company's stock. According
to the police each of the men under
arrest has confessed to having a con-.
nection with the horse-defrauding
plot.
