Four men held up the people tn two saloons on the lower west side, shortly before 2 o'clock this morning, fn true ‘Western style, firing off their revolvers and robbing one of the bartenders. ‘While one man did the actual robbing, the others stationed themselves at the doorways ahd kept watch. In Jefferson Market Court the men were held in $5,000 bafl on one charge, and in $2,000 on another. The first saloon entered was that of John Bosecher, at No. 179 West Hous- ton street. The men are well known there, and when they asked for a drink ft was refused. ‘Three of them !mme- diately went to the front and side doors and closed them. The fourth then emphasized his demand by firing a shot into the celling. ‘The bartender, thoroughly frightened, was just getting ready to hand over the cash in the register when a party room upstairs, who came runping down. after telling B ‘The robbers h ay the bartender tf he “gave them away” they woukl return and kill him, men then went to the saloon of Patrick Fallon, No. 32 Bedford street. There were several customers in the sa- joon and they were ordered out at pls- tol point. The bartender was orde to remaln, After the room had been cleared the robbers drew revolvers and ‘again a shot was fired Into the ceiling, The bartender, Patrick Costello, was then ordered to turn over the cash in the register and give up bie gold watch. ‘As the saloon was belng closed when the robbers arrived there was onl In the register. This made the robbera angry. Coatello sald he, thought the robbera could be found in a flat at No, 267 West Houston street.

Neighbors saw a stranger entering the flat of George Walters on the sec- ond floor of the flat house at No, 773 Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, this after- of the Gates avenue station. When Clyons got to tho flat he found a bundle of Walters's belongings wrapped up on the floor of the parlor, but the strangor waa not In sight. The policeman locked the outside doors and searched the flat. He found his man in a closet with the doorloc ked on the inside. “If you open the door Tl shoot you dead," sata the burglar. Although the Latimer burglary, in which a burglar in a closet killed the man who opened the door ocourred In the netghborhood; Clyona did not hesl- tate, He kicked the door in and out came the burglar. ‘The poltceman was knocked down, Before he could get to the feet the burglar had reached a rear window and made a flying leap to the courtyard, He landed right side up and wag half ‘way across the yard before Clyons got to the window, another step I'll fil you shouted the polloeman. He had hts revover out and there was determination in his tones, The fugitly halted.

All these ould be taken into consideration by & sentencing magistrate. But in your case I find a deliberate and well-laid plan or scheme to defraud and to falsify the public records. If you were to be al- lowed at Itberty, homes and property would vanish by the stroke of an un- known pen. I am unable to find the least mitigating circumstance in your favor.” District-Attorney Clarke sald, after sentence was passed, that Brennan had secured at least $100,000 through his forgeries. It !s believed that he has a large amount of this left in cash. Brennan’s operations were about as daring as any with which the banks and title companies have been made ac- quainted. From an office boy at $7 a week in two years he became the Prea- ident of a busy trust company of his own, having extensive offices in Brook- lyn and Manhatt and doing a large business, Brennan's plan was to search the records of the Register’s office and find a valuable piece of property on which #4|, mortgage had been filed. He would then file a “satisfaction piece” with the Register, purporting to,show that the mortgage had been paid and that the title to the property was clear, To do this {t was necessary for him to forge the signature of the person who had 1 the yon the property. nting hi the an in whose name the would borrow aa much operty.
