WON BRIDAL RACE AGISTRATE MAYO SCORES SLEUTHS Denounces Act of Detectives Who Raided Boarding-House of Elizabeth Routten and Ar- rested Her and Twenty Others THEY FOUND PERSONS ACTUALLY PLAYING CARDS. Woman and Her Young Baby Were Locked Up All Night in) Cell—“Everybody Is Dis- charged,” Says Magistrate. ~ Detectives Hugher and Carey, of the Mercer street station, who arrested a woman named Elizabeth Routten raid on a boarding-house at No, Sullivan street last night, and who sald that she was the only woman {aro dealer ever captured in this city, were severely calledto account by Magistrate Mayo. in the Jefferson Market Police Court to-day for their performance: Without a scrap of evidence against the place beyond the fact that card-| playing went on .almost every night among the boarders, these two detec- tves ;want into the house and urrested | every one they found there. There were twenty Italians beside the Routten woman. The latter had a four- months-old baby. All of these were locked up, the woman being allowed to take the child to her cell with her. The evidence collected in tie place con- sisted of $6 and some odd change, sume playing cards and a wooden box, which! the detectives sald might be a faro box. Elizabeth Routtan was very indig- nant at her arrest'and the invasion of her house. She told Magistrate Mayo, in the Jefferson Maret Court, that no Gambling ever went on in her establish- ment, but that ter boarders, mostly all newly. arrived Itallans, were in the habit of playing cards evenings and that she encouraged them in the prac- tice, as it tended to keep them indoors and away from the saloons which abound in the welghborhood, Detectives Hughes and Carey when asked what evidence they had against the woman said that they had heard that cards were played in the house every night, and that they had ratded the place because they were satisfied: gambling was golng on. The Mngis- trate said he had never heard of such a fAlmsy case before. “apd you locked a woman and a child in a cell all night on this sort of evi- Gence™' said the Magistrate, “That was bad enougii, but yuu go and throw twenty men, against whom there js n even a suspicion of evidence, in Jail too ‘The detectives admitted that this w, precisely what: they Seemed grieved that ould be questioned. 74 "Everybody 4s discharged, fa" ‘the Magistrate with a look of disgust on hus fi “Never bring a cuse like this be- fore me again.” Elizabeth Routtan has conducted her boarding-house for some time. She and her establishment have excellent reputations, and everybody jiving in the neighborhood was amazed when the po- lice broke In and raided the place last | night. oe They thelr judgment WITH HER SISTER Miss Florence Blood Elopes with - Goldie Hilton Kees Only Be- cause She Wanted to Be Mar- ried Before Her Sister.
