The defense then called to the stand Jacob Lindauer, who testified: "At the time of my arrest at 141 Mott street; I worked for my brother Fred, at West Hoboken." "What sort of a place was it?" asked Mr. McGrath. "Well, some call it a hotel, and some call it a house of prostitution. I call it a house of prostitution." (English)

This was an indictment charging [John Jacob Lindauer] with doing business as a lottery dealer at No. 202 Chrystie-street, without paying the special tax required by law. From the evidence it did not appear clear whether he was pecuniary interest in the profits and losses of the business. Lewis Lindauer, the brother of the defendant, testified that he (Lewis) paid the rent of the lottery office, and that the defendant merely received wages for his services. On the other hand it was shown that the defendant had made statements to the effect that he had interests in the business. Judge Benedict charged that if the defendant was found to be simply a clerk, he must be acquitted; and further charged that a person might sell lottery tickets on commission, if the commission was allowed as wages, and still be merely a clerk, and not be amenable in the eye of the law as being engaged or concerned in the business of lottery dealing. This construction of the law is very important in view of the great number of arrests of lottery ticket vendors that have recently taken place, nearly all of whom claim to be clerks, and it being extremely difficult to prove who are the principals. The jury, after a brief absence, found the defendant not guilty. (English)

The examination of Charles Lindauer, one of the persons suspected of participating in the Baldwin robbery, some time since, was continued yesterday afternoon before Justice Sandford. Lindauer persistently denies his guilt, alleging that he was in New York on the night of the robbery. Lewis Lindauer, the brother of Charles, being examined; said that the first time he was in this city before his arrest was on the 5th of December, and that he was not in the jewelry establishment of Messrs. Baldwin & Co., a few mornings previous to the robbery. He had not seen Charles in possession of any jewelry for the last two months. David Van Orden, an employee of Baldwin & Co., testified as to the appearance of things at the factory after the discovery of the robbery. He recollected two men calling at the factory about two weeks previous to the robbery, about 6 1/2 o'clock, A.M., and thought he recognized one of the prisoners (Charles). On the morning of the same day he saw on Broad street two men who looked like the persons accused. Timothy Crane, an apprentice, fully recognized Charles as one of the persons who visited the factory. The investigation is still in progress. (English)

It was in 1881 that [Henry Clay Keenan] scored one of his most brilliant achievements, by running down the Lindauer gang of burglars. The gang had been committing burglaries and thefts right along, and Keenan was detailed to run them down. He managed to become acquainted with female friends of the leading members of the gang, and he soon gained the girls' favor. They trusted him, and he became one of their boon companions. In the course of his alliance he learned from them many important secrets regarding the burglars with whom these women associated. The gang had its headquarters for some time within a few blocks of New York police headquarters. The New York police were ignorant of the existence of this den. Keenan learned so much about the thieves while with the women that he soon had enough evidence to arrest the gang and land them in jail. Keenan arrested five of the robbers, and they were convicted. That broke up one of most daring band of robbers that ever infested Jersey City. (English)
