Meskill, in police court today, sentenced John Tsimoines of 371 Main street to three months in jail and imposed a fine of $100 and costs for gambling in the Hotel Bropson pool room at 417 Main street. John Pethis, proprietor of the pool room since Tsimeines’ license was revoked several months azo following conviction on a gambling charge, was | fined $100 and costs for { gambling on the premises. Through Attorney W. F. Mangan, counsel for! the defense, appeals were taken with | bands fixed at $500 and $300 respec- tively. Peter Perokos of 412 Main street, proprietor of the Stenic mov- ing picture theater went surety. Im- mediately following judgment in the case, Chief of Police William J. Raw- lings revoked the pool room license held by Pethis, said actian to go into force at once and policemen on Main street beats are Instructed to see that no games are allowed at the Main street address. In passing judgment, Judge Meskill sald that it might he true that some of the boys( summoned as witnesses, may have records and gone wrong but it was not unlikely that this type of pool rooms was largely responsible. T oconsider most of the public pool rooms a breeding place for crime,” he con- cluded. False Courage in Alcohol. Characterized by Prosecuting Attor- ney George W. Klett, as one of the “rottenest’” pool rooms that has come to his attention during his office as prasecutor, the testimony was highly sensational at times. Backed by the testimony .of witnesses, Prosecutor Klett contended that workingmen under the influence . of liquor were “milked” of their wages by the belief that they could play pool, went into the pool raom with full pay envelopes and came out nearly ‘broke. Ie charged that liguor was brought into the pool rooms from the barroom of the Hotel Branson, hext door, by pa- trons, or others, on the Pretext that it was needed to stimulate the ‘nerve’” of patrons of the game. Alleging that the liquor was drunk about the pool tables, he alleged that it's use was en- couraged so that the patron wauld be falsely stimulated in the belief that he was a eal pool player and that it would be his turn to win. One of the witnesses testified that he had gone into the pool room with considerable money in his pocket, had lost it in playing ‘nine ball” and many other games of chance and had then played as long as he could do so undiscovered on his “nerve” in tne hope that iuck would turn his way. When his financial condition was discovered, it Was testified, there would be much caustic criticism and the “nerve” player informed that his absence was more desired than his company. 3 Calling attention to the past record of Tsimoines with other convictions | for gambling, Prosecutor Klett pleaded for a jail sentence. He called atten- tion to the fact that, at the last con- viction, the heaviest penalty possible, a fine of $100 and costs. was imposed. protection of the public and in jus- tice to those liable to be persuaded to play, he believed that the jail sen- tence should be impased. That pool was played for ‘high stakes” at two of the tables much of the time was the contention of wit- hesses and it was testified that the sums waged had frfquently amounted to as much as $100, once in a while more than that sum. Testimony was given relative to players from other cities and towns coming to New Britain to compete with local patrons. \bout two weeks ago, it was testified, two men came from Hartford and a game was plaved with stakes of $60.

Witnesses and the accused testified that he would come in often with the exclamation that he had a growing thirst and have Leer brought in from the bar mnext door. It was also testified that Dr. Beardsle: office attendant would come alter him at the poal room fre- quently to t=11 him that there were patients af the officc.
