War Over Betting Law Clashes With Brooklyn Officials
In Brooklyn a rift grows between District Attorney Elder and the Sheriff's office over enforcement of the Agnew Hart anti gambling law at racetracks. Elder contends deputies fail to gather solid evidence, cites Pinkerton handling in Collins case, and faults track operators for not stopping gambling. Hart of Amityville was arrested for betting four dollars on Creation last Monday amid grand jury visits. Sheriff Hobley defends deputies saying no evidence links bookies to bet records.

Crack Two Big Safes In Beekman Street Office
Thieves drilled through twenty inches of brick to the Diamond Point Pen Company at 102 Beekman Street and blew open two safes stealing pen points valued at 31,000. Patrolman O’Connell found the break in during a Tuesday night or Wednesday morning burglary. The firm, which has faced five break-ins in three years, previously moved cash to a Fulton street branch. A separate note says Corporation Counsel Pendleton disapproved a city guaranteed summer ferry plan, preferring higher rates and waterfront use for nothing.
