When detectives entered the house about 11 o'clock a merry round of dancing, drinking and swearing was going on on the lower floor, while games were in progress above. At the command of the officers, the patrons and proprietors filed into patrols which lined up outside and were whirled away to the police station. Next morning seventy-nine persons were brought before Police Court and fined for disorderly conduct and Ormes, the proprietor was held over to the grand jury with bonds aggregating $1200.00 and charges of violating prohibition laws and keeping a disorderly house.
Among those arrested were fifteen women, some of whom appeared to be mere girls, but most of whom were hardened criminals who seemed to enjoy the ride to the station house. One woman, commenting on the seizure of the liquor, remarked that she "sure would like to be one of them high officials who would have charge of that liquor." A crowd of two hundred witnessed the raid and many of them expressed their joy at the prospect of ending the public nuisance in the neighborhood.
