BRITAIN HELD AFTER
RAID ON GAMBLERS
Continued from First Page.

Bolan boys took counsel In cunning and
mee-yowed softly at the door. One
mee-yowed plaintively. while the other
scratched the door with his forefinger
nail. Presently a voice was heard to
say: Let the damned cat in. some
body" and then the door was opened
and the cat not only was let in, but
was let clear out of the bag.
Looking through charmingly fur
nished foyer hallway the detectives saw
six men, including Lord Auckland's
friend Brownlow. around a roulette
wheel, all having lovely time. Friend
Brownlow. according to what the detec-
tives testified to It court was spinning
the wheel with the savoir faire of a
Monte Carlo croupier Everybody pres
ent was in full evening dress. which
especially delighted the Irish interlopers.
because. as is well known. If there is
anything an Irishman likes better than
arresting an Englishman it is arresting
an Englishman in evening clothes.
Well, as Lord Auckland said, there
was fine pother and row. Brownlow
telling the detectives that an English
mans home was his castle and that 1t
would be the worse of them for having
had a hand in that nights work. but
the debate ended as such debates usually
do. Mr.. Brownlow was taken to the
West Thirtieth street station charged
with owning gambling paraphernalia.
He tried his best to get bail and had
Lieut.. Courtney telephone Lady Auck-
land at the Auckland apartment In the
Hotel Buckingham at Fifth avenue and
Fiftieth street, but Lord Auckland was
out and Lady Auckland couldn't help.
EngIishman Ooxes Indignation.
The result was that the most indig-
nant Englishman under the sun, moon
and stars spent the night in a cell, In
full evening dress, thinking up new cuss
words. and wondering how Lord Corn
wallis. John Burgoyne and Henry Clin-
ton could have been such NUTS.
When arraigned before Magistrate
rockingham in the West Side Court
as common gambler Brownlow ex-
pressed his Indignation in all directions.
He was especially resentful toward
Goldfnger, who had lost S400 at the
roulette game and had then gone to
the police.
Little animall" said Brownlow
Miserable welsher Wretched worm :"
His plea was that he thought a gen.
tieman had right to do what he
pleased in his own home. and that he
never had heard Of such a thing as not
being allowed to play game of chance
among friends. Mr. Brownlow gave the
impression very strongly that when this
affair is adjusted he is going to leave
the United States of America fiat on its
back.
The detectives said that everybody In
the apartment except Brownlow con-
fessed to being heavy loser. They
said, too, that Brownlow had told them
he knew the most important families in
New York and that he frequented the
best clubs. The inference that his
apartment in West Fifty-fifth street
was popular and well visited was plain.
Brownlow was released in bail of $500
for future examination.
Lord and Lady Auckland's word.
yesterday that Henry r. Brownlow is a
social. in London.
"Give you my word. old thing" said
Lord Auckland "he is rich as grease,
cares nothing for the old filthy, loves to
take chance and is fond of entertain
ing his friends. The poor old turnip's
all knocked out this very minute because
of the unjust charge thrown at him.
and his doctor has ordered him to bed
and quiet. The damned little rotter that
squealed was introduced by one OF
Brownlow's friends as all right and
good sport. Hang him J"
Freddy. Baron Auckland, knows
what trouble Is himself. A Catholic
priest, Father O'Keefe of Hastings, N.
Y, who had entertained Auckland be-
fore Auckland got married. appealed to
him for the return of $4,000 which. the
priest maintained, he had lent to Auck-
land, but which Auckland maintained
had been a gift. Last year Lille II.
Gay sued and got judgment for 81, 401
for back rent on an apartment.
