The man, a policeman from the Vice Squad, clapped his hand over her mouth and snapped: "Keep quiet. You're under arrest.'" Excited neighbors buzzed about as other police arrived, dragged Mrs. Ricchebuono to the station house on a charge of prostitution. For two days and nights Mrs. Ricchebuono was locked up while Bernard scurried around, trying frantically but futilely to raise $500 bail.
