" _. “KLONDIKE’S” POOL-ROOM Gang Swore Vengeance in Court Room, but Quickly Hustled to “Sells While Names of Asso- ciates Were Taken. Twenty notorious members of “Monk” Yactma gang were I!ned up before Magistrate Ommen in the Hesex Market ‘Police Court to-day. They were told Wat not one of them would go unpun- jehed and that every prisoner would be Belt tn $1,000 ball for six months. Never since the police began war co those tuoghs, cutthroate, robbers and fhurdcrers has such a blow been dealt them. The men and boys in the prison- ore’ dock, all necring and laughing and @yen threatening the police who had Falded thom at No, #61 Eart Broadway yesterday, suddenly became sullen. They seemed unable to understand Magistrate Ommen's decision. For a time they glared at the Magistrate and the expression on their faces became ‘hrentening and dangerous. Only the Presence of half a hundred pollcemon tA dotvotives waved the Magivtrate what seemed like a movement to fasauit him, Outside the rajling were a score or fore of the gang who had escaped ar mest. They represented the very worst type of men who have terrorized the tast side with murders, assaults and tobberles, and when they heard that twenty of thelr number would be sent 1@ the island for six months they left the court-room cursing and mumbling threats against the police and society 49 general. In the arrest of the twenty men and boys by Police Capt, Hodgins, of the Madigon street station, after the assault ami attompt at robbery sald w have been made by Joseph Goldberg and two ‘other members of the Eastman gang on Morris Bchames, of No. 182 Norfolk ateeet, yesterday afternoon, it was a @erted that the pool-roofi run by Harry Abrams, known as “Klondike,” at No. 461 Kast Broadway, wes a training @obool for thieves.

Bo quickly did the rocks and bricks from the foundation of the old house that !s being torn down fall, that it was smpossidle for nome of the men to make thelr escape.
