    2. POLICEMEN ROUND UP LOT OF ALLEGED CRAP SHOOTERS There was a great showing of activity in South Brooklyn yesterday against gamblers. Policemen John MEYER and Benjamin LOEFFLER, of the Fifth avenue station, in plain clothes arrested seventeen men in a place said to be kept by Charles MILLER in Forty-eighth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. They found nine men shooting crap. With drawn revolvers they prevented the players from escaping. MILLER was arrested, and in the Butler street court to-day was held on the charge of keeping a gambling resort. The other prisoners were discharged. At Fourth avenue and Thirty-second street the same policemen rounded up Joseph WRIGLEY, of 178 Thirty-first street, and three others, and at Fifty-third street and Second avenue they arrested John MILLER, of 318 Fifty-sixth street, and three others. All were charged with shooting crap, but escaped with a reprimand to-day. Transcribed for the Brooklyn Info Pages by Marilynn Wright
