He knows their inmost secrets. He knows their countersigns and he is in posses- sion of the cards that are used by the rich gamesters to pass the ever watch- ful man at the door, How the tip that McClusky was after the gamblers got to the ears of the pro- prictors of the Dig houses is not known; but it did get to them and get to them almost Immediately after Commisstoner of Police Greene decided upon the coun- ter move. “This the Commissioner did after transfering Police Capt, O'Connor from the West Thjrteth street station and putting Capt.
