The following article appeared In
New York Herald, of recent
date. Inquiry from city and coun
ty authorities proved that there was
nothing 4o the Htory and It ueernH
that It was manufactured "dope"
Bent out by Home newspaper man
plIM, r^ng here:
"Godfroy Preece, who was born
In England and whose home 1b with
in 45 minutes of Broadway, 1h hav
ing Home novel experiences and In
cJde .tully learning more about the
varied ncenery and Sunday lawn of
hln adopted' country, down at Cam
den; h. c., where ho 1b polo manag
er this winter. It wuh ft glorious
morn ng there, last Sunday; the
kind that makes a man who hus the
love of horBos In his blood want to
gut outdoors and go around to his
ne ghbor'g barn and look them over
before church. And so It cunje to j
P ??b that George 0. Glausen, some- ,
time park oommlsBloner of New
York, strolled out to Mr. Preece's
?ec.uded place to see his polo po- i
nl ?. Perkins was pulling them out,
one after another, for inspection by
the learned horseman of Port Chea
ter when up rode the sheriff and
put thorn all under arrest for break
ing the Sabbath. Needless to ?ay,
the New York horsemen were duni
fouuded. Knowing they were In
the dominion of Gov. Cole L. Please
whose views oon law and order
had read all about, Mr. Preece
thought It was a practical joke, but
when the peace officer told them to
put up th> ponies and come along
It dawned on him that the sheriff
meant business. In vain he assured
him that they were merely having
a llt'le airing In a very English way,
and It was only after Mr. Clausen
hai disci Bed hln Identity ay a
deputy sheriff of Westchester coun
ty and invoked tho docMne of com
ity that the Jail o^ised to stare
them In the face. The sheriff at
laat yieldod the point of locking
them up, but they had to appear In
?ourt the next day, and appear very
fterlouB and penitent at that, anfl
?onfcB? that they were disturbers
of tho pea-'o of South Carolina, and
hlstor c Camden, through their lg
?ornnco of the law, to save their
necks Mr. Preece was told on Mon
day morrrng that the penalty, if
tl ey wero convicted, would bo HO
dava at hard labor. Ho knew what
that meant, for on his way to court
ko had seen the phalngang at work
on the ? r ets with a man a landing
