Williams’ livery stable for a horse and carriage to drive to Baldwin, with which the accommodating Mr. Williams supplied him. The stranger took such a fancy to the outfit that he continued his drive way beyond Bald win to the great city of New York where he induced a Mr.\ Goodman, of 78th St. East, to part with $50 for horse, carriage and harness. Mr. Wil liams after a very reasonable wait of 24 hours took counsel with Sheriff Fos ter who in turn enlisted the services of several of Commissioner Bingham’s gum-shoe men, who found Janeck, the horse and carriage and as a result Jan eck's address is Mineola, care of Sher iff of Nassau County, where he awaits the attention of the Grand Jury and the horse is again eating from his own manger in Williams’ stable.
