At the suggestion of Mr. Baker the de- fendants were called, and three of them failed to respond, They were Henry G. Crickmore, sceretary of the Jockey Club; larence McDowell, judge, and W. 8. Vos- burgh. handicapper. These men, Mr. Baker stated, had not been served, and he said that warrants for them would have to be sent ont and they would have to be arrested i gular Wa: six defendants who answered waived the reading of the new information and pleaded not guilty. The usual demand for a jury trial was made and the defendants were told to be In court at 1 o'clock, New Pleas Entered. When court convened at 1 o'clock Attor- ney A. S$. Worthington appeared ag counsel in the case, associated with Mr. Maddox, for the d>fendants. He introduced Mr. Auerbach, a New York attorney, who he id would also assist in the defense. Mr. Worthington said he was surprised to find the defendants had been arraigned, as he had intended to -nter a plea to the juris- diction, and also a demurrer to the infor- mation. Judge Kimball said this matter eculd be easily arranged, and Mr. Worth- ington then fil2d his plea to the jurisdiction of the court, which claimed that because the judg> had been appointed for a term of six years, and not during good behavior, the court ought not take further cognizance of the case. This the judge overruled, and counsel noted an exception. Jndge Kimball said this point had been passed upon by the Supreme Court of the District. “But not by the Supreme Court of the United States,” remarked Mr. Worthington. “Yhe point went up to the United States Supreme Court, but the se at issue was decided on other grounds. Demurrer to Information. The demurrer to the information was then filed. The first count is demurred to as follow “Virst. The defendants say that the first count of the information in this case is bad in substance. One of the matters of law to be argued in support of the de- murrer to the first count is that it is not averred that the defendants permitted a gaming table to be set up and used for the purpose of playing a game.” The second, third and fourth counts are demurred to for the same reason. [ol- lowing the fourth count the paper set out: “One of the matters of Iaw to be argued in support of the demurrer of the fourth count is that the charge of ‘permitting to be set up or used at a ¢értafit place for the purpose of gaming is Vague, uncertain and indefinite, and not within the terms of any statute in force in (his District relating to gaming.” aa The cemurrer, the court suggested, may be argued later on, but.

Robinson and Edward Green, Mr. Worthington asked what was the rule of the court concerning peremptory chal- lenges, and the judge said that that each side is entitled to three challenges. This Mr. Worthington said he knew, as the law fixed this, but he wanted to know about the rules of the court. Judge Kim- ball informed him that there were no rules. The jury was accepted and Mr. Baker made his opening speech to the jury. He explained the charge as already set out, and said he expected to show that the de- fendants, as managers of the race track, had conducted races since November 12. He expected further to show that they per- mitted gambling to be done on the track. “Defense Reserves Opening Addre: After describing the case more fully, as the government expected to prove It, Mr. Baker closed. Mr. Maddox said that he would reserve his opening until later. Mr. Worthington asked that all the de- fendants, with the exception of Mr. How- land, be excused, In order that they would not have to remain in court during the trial. This the court declined to do, the judge saying he doubted his authority to try a man during his absence. Detective Joseph Carter, who is detailed for duty in the office of the district attor- ney, was the first witness examined. He testified that on the day the present racing season opened he was at the Benning track, having been sent there with Detective Par- ham. Witness said he visited the track once afterward. He described the buildings on the grounds and told of the “betting ring,”’ as he termed it. “Who congregate in this ring?’ asked Mr. Baker. "I saw nothing but men there. swered. Witness said he saw nineteen places where three men were Standing. One man at each held a program, another made bets and a third man had what look- ed like a sheet, on which the holder kept a record of the bets. Explains Methods of Betting. He explained that there were chalk marks on what appeared to be a slate or black- beard. These figures represented the odds on the different horses, and these changed from time to time. People who wanted to P bet, he said, would call the name of a horse and say “Ten on that,” or “Five on chat. The man making a bet would show the number of his badge. One man carried a satchel in which he put the money.
