The men under arrest gave their names as John Lockwood, 28, of 246 Kaighn avenue, and Martin Ward, 34, of 400 Liberty street.
Police Sergeant Walter Mattison and Patrolman Frank Wilmont [sic] arrested the men at 2.30 a. m. at Fourth and Liberty streets. Ward's pocket yielded $53 in change, according to Mattison.
