"... The first dealer arrested was B. Nathan, of Nos. 179 and 830 Broadway, who at once gave bail before the Commissioner in the sum of $1,000 to await examination. Soon afterward John Duff of No. 49 Nassau street, and A. Orlando Jackson, of No. 92 Nassau street, were arrested, and in like manner they gave bail for their future appearance. These captures were followed at intervals by the arrest of C. F. Lindauer, W. L. Crayton, E. W. Harriman, C. Defreese, J. Williamson of Williamson & Co., and R. N. Potter, all Broadway dealers, and mostly from little nooks of offices between Twenty-fifth and Thirtieth street. Theodore Zschoch, of No. 17 Park place and No. 861 Broadway; J. Wachsman, of Wachsman & Co., No. 84 Nassau street, and W. A. Martine, of No. 10 Wall street, were also arrested. In the cases where the prisoners had been under arrest previously for the same offense they were hold in $1,000 bail, and from these who had not before been charged with the offense only $500 bail was required, Most of them, however, were old offenders and had to give the higher amount."
