The tea raiding party from Bos-
ton, composed Of prohibition agents,
who threw dry bombs into Broadway
and vicinity on Saturday by visiting
ffty-nine wet spots end making more
than 100 arrests. were busy all day
yesterday in the Federal Building ar
raigning prisoners.
When United States Commissioner
Hitchcock adjourned court at five
o'clock not half the prisoners had been
arraigned. Because of this, the con-
tinuation of the wholesale raids in
Manhattan did not take place yester-
day. If the remaining cases are dis
posed of by noon to-day the imported
rum hunters probably will resume ac-
tivities.
There are rs or more search war
rants yet to be served on saloons and
other places n Manhattan. All We're
signed last week by Federal Judge
John c. Knox on evidence collected
during period OF ten days by the
imported moonshine hunters who are
working under the direction of Dan
J. Chaplin. chief enforcement officer
for the State of New York.
Eighteen Raids I'm Newark.
Out of forty-nine search warrants for
rs many places where liquor is alleged
10 have been sold In Newark sixty dry
agents imported from Philadelphia and
other cities succeeded In raiding only
eighteen under the direction of Harry
r.. Sands, special agent from Washing
ton. No arrests were made and the
ratiing will continue to-day.
Rumors had been rampant in New
ark since last Saturday that the war
rants had been issued in Trenton on evil
dence collected during the last two
weeks. The rumors reached places where
liquor Is sold. so when the dry agents
arrived they found many Of the saloons
closed tight.
A few however, were caught mapping
and quite a quantity OF bonded and bad
whiskey was seized. In one place. that
or Henry Reiboldt, Railroad place and
Commerce street. twenty-four bottles Of
real champagne and $50 bottles OF fake
whiskey were found.
About forty prisoners arraigned here
were released IN $500 or $1,000 each by
Commissioner Hitchcock. The others will
appear before him to-day. with the ex-
ception Of a few whose cases were ad-
journed for two weeks on the ground
the search warrants were illegally Is
sued.
HesIy's Case Up First.
- - a.. g.. oa.n. cofIad xyao q thu
Of Thomas Healy's Golden Glades cab
sret, Sixty-sixth street and Columbus
avenue, where. il is alleged. one of the
Bostonian raiders had purchased drinks
at prices ranging from $3.50 to 81.
Charles Fl. Griffiths. counsel for
Heaiy's. secured an adjournment for
two weeks after showing that the search
warrant was issued for mo. COG Column
bus avenue" an address many blocks
north OF the Golden Glades. The Strand
Roof Garden case was adjourned at the
request OF Mr.. Grifiths. who claimed
that the arrest in that instance was
made as the result of finding two
ounces Of sherry in a wardrobe In the
servants quarters.
Confusion was caused when II was
found in some cases In serving search
warrants a few OF the agents surren-
dered the original warrant to the de-
fendant instead OF a duplicate. These
cases were adjourned until to-day to
give the complaining agents opportunity
10 straighten out this tangle.
Mary Lucey. who conducts place at
- Greenwich street, was the only
l1A,nan caught in the raids. She was
released in $1,000 bail after beratng
the man who had caused her all the
trouble. The prisoner had this TO say
about her case:
Last Thursday a man came into my
place carrying snow shovel. He had
wet feet and said he would get typhoid
fever IL I didn't give or sell him a
drink. | sold him one drink and gave
him another Of good stuff. which he
said would cure him. The devil then
pinched me-"
