astonished even me.
Here was a pile of cases, and In
none of them were listed less than
ten raids by police at tlie same
speakeasy. In some Instances the
Violations numbered' as high
twenty-four. For some violations
there had been a $10 fine; others
were noted as "dismissed" or pend-

luck. One of the police complaints
is reproduced herewith.
Ol Kt KS STRIKING CASF.S
But let me dig up a cm pie of
striking cases out of my own rec
ords, jnt as illustrations.
First, the matter of Dinty Moorp's.
IMnty'a restaurant at 21G West
4(iUi Street as finally padlocked
this summer for a term of four
months.
Dtut's Is famous for dry raids,
for excellent food ond for being
a rendezvous for judges, attorneys.
and iioliticians. Satmel S. Koenig

that he dined there eurv Sunday

me to dine there with htm. because
lie thought I muf-t have the wrong
Idea of the sort of place James
Moore ran. I never found an op
portunity to accept Mr. Kocnig's
invitation.
Either Samuel Koenig or his son.
Raphael, always appeared as attor
ney for Dinty In prohibition cases.
Federal agents on nine occasion?
obtained evidence of prohibition
Violations against Dinty Moore's
and the restaurant was raided on
the following dates: Dec. 26, lflt;
April It. 1M0: Dec. 6. 1931; Mai
6. 1923; Oct. 5. 1923; Jan. 5. 1924;
Jan. 1, 1928; D 31. 1928. and
March 27. 1930. I am also in
formed that the police raided It
three times In 1922.

able to search the place at any
time wilhont a search warrant. "
With a copy of tills order. I sent
some of our agents to Dinty Moore's
on the New Year's Eve of 1928.
They seized twenty-two quarto of
rye whiskey, twenty-three quarts of
Scotch, -and a quantity of other li
quors. William end James Moore
were arrested with other defendants
and held In $1,000 bail.
I imagined that this would be an
ear.y case to dispose of. that tlie
United States attorney would take
the matter before a federal judRp.
who, on being advised of Judge
Cioddards order would declare the
$15,000 bond forfeited and padlock
the place for a year. But it was
not so simple
LIQUOR ORDERED RETURNED
On April 4. in Washington. Com
missioner Doran told me that At
torney Tuttie had Just telephoned
Mm that a federal judge had signed
an order returning the liquor seized
upstairs hi Dinty Moore's. This
return had been ordered by Feder
al Judge Francis A. Winslow 'who
later resigned in the midst of tlie
bankruptcy scandal t on the advice
of assistant United States attorn
eys, who agreed that the order ap
plied only to the restaurant prem
iss prop?r. Tlie investigating offi
cers had no opportunity to defend
themselves. My agents returned
tlie liquor to Dinty's on April 13.
1928.
The final disposition of this was
that Dinty Moore forfeited 1.000
put up In a previous Injunction
case. I have no record that any at
tempt was made at this time for
forfeiture of the $ IS. 000 bond or for

BRANOT
During 192t I repeatedly spoke
emphatically and frankly to Tuttie
and Mrs. WWebtandt and others
about tills case.
On tlie New Year's eve of 1929 my
agents again raided Dinty's. They
obtamed only a small quantity of
liquor, but had succeeded in mak
ing a number .of buys previous to
the raid.
Shortly after this raid. January 8.
Samuel Koenig came to oee me,
cautiously approached the subject
of Dinty Moore and told me I was
wrong In speaking so strangely
about the case. Tliere were many
cases quite aa flagrant to which I
might devote my attention, Mr.
Koenig Indicated.
Then he wanted to know If I
would Intimate to Mr. Tuttie that I
would not Insist on vigorous prose
cution. I told Koenig I mould not
consider this.
Ou January 24, 1929. my agents
nreseuW-d their evidence before
Judge Thomas D. Thacher, and an
assistant United States attorney
moved tor forfeiture of the 815.000
bond and the padlocking of the
premise tor a year.
Ill AC III-It DISMISSES CASE
Judge Thacher, who has since
bren appionted solicitor general of
tlie United States, dismissed the ac
tton on the ground that, although
liquor had probably been sold
the place, he was not satisfied that
Moore knew ot tlie violations.
In Ills opinion, dismissing the
case, Judge Thacher said that:
"Tlie twue here presented is not
the usual one winch arises in i
proceeding brought in equity to en
join a public liquor nuisance. The
question arises under the express
lrovisions of a decree heretofore
entered on June 7, 1928, relating to
the premises herein questioned and
containing this provision."
Reading from the court order
providing for forfeiture of the $15, -000
bond for a padlock, Judge
Thacher said;
"Upon the testimony thus pre
sented I have no hesitation in find
ing that tlie evidence establishes
tmo violation upon the premises in
question; first, the sale of at least
two drinks of whisky on December
34, 19J8, and, second, the posses
sion in the barroom of a certain
amount of whi-ky contained in a
ginger ale bottle."
JUDGE CAUTIONS OPERATOR
Yet the court disposed of the case
In these words.;
"The record m ill stand against
these defendants and it anything of
the kind occurs In the future I
think they may be well assured
that this place will not be allowed
to remain open."
So tlie place being told not to do
it again, did remain open, though
Moore's record showed successive
violation ever since enactment of
the national prohibition act.
I tried to get Tuttie to ask the
attorney general to appeal thus
case; but under date of January 30.
1928. he Informed me that In his
opinion an appeal would not be
practicable. Vet In the same letter
he informed me lie was instituting
a proceeding for the forfeiture ot
the 815,000 bond. However, I have
no Information at hand that this
forfeiture was asked for.
ONE EAST FLING
I decided to have one last try at
Dint y Moore's. Last Ma rch my
agents easily bout; lit liquor there
and on March, 27 a raid was made.
A secret door was found in the floor
under the bar, which led into a cel
lar where there were tanks of ale.

and many one-ounce bottles ot as
sorted liquors.
Reading the publicity on this In
the newspapers. Tuttie called up
and asked me to hurry the evidence
to him. In June a padlock decree
was obtained for four inonths. It
will be open again. I presume.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST
WAVERLY !
I received many complaints
about this place, forwarded from
the attorney general! office and
the commissioner of prohibition.
After recelvmg my first com
plaint I looked up the records and
found that three raids had been
made there In 1925, My agents
easily obtained evidence and on
August 14, 19'JM, my agents raided
Ute place. . .
The evidence was forwarded to
tlie United States attorney, with re
quest for prosecution and a pad
lock. But the place remained open
and during 192t I raided it repeat
edly, sending evidence of possession
to the United States attorney. Us
ually the defendant was arrested.
held by the cotumissiouer in light
bail, and pleaded guilty in district
court, drawing a fine of $10 or $25.
Tlie defendants were treated as
first offenders in each cate; the
prosecutors made no effott to in
form Ute judge of previous offenses.
SAYS Bl VINO WAS EASY
The first raid were made on
search warrants, and liquor was al
ways found. My ag?nu never had
any trouble buying liquor in this
place, but after awhile it developed
that when they got search war
rants, there was no liquor in the
place when they returned to search
it.
Receiving almost dally com
plaints, I resolved to take extraor
dinary action and dispense with
the search warrants, which some
how seemed to let the club in or
our plans for raiding. I now made
my raids on the ground that the
sale of liquor was a crime commit
ted in tlie presence of a government
agent. In this way the arrest and
search was conducted. This was
quite legal.
In one period of thirty hours the
Waverly club was raided four times
After a raid other agents would be
outside and when they saw a new
supply of liquor taken in they would
enter, make purchases and insti
tute another raid.
Tills proved discouraging to the
club and the place was closed while
the same management opened an
other place at 113 West 47th street
I Immediately adopted the same
tactics at these premises, but there
was still no action from the United
States attorney and the place re
mained open.
UIS FORCES LIMITED
Of course, with my limited force.
it would be Impossible to adopt
these tactics against every speak
cany, and in this case I soon had to
withdraw my agents to do more
important work. The Waverly club
in 41th street rcowned and I be
gau to raid it again. In all X raid
