INGAMBLNG CSE Lawyer Clams Pople Who Gon- duct Fairs Should Be-Arrested Thé largest docket to be presented in police court ‘for some time wax Qisposed of by Judge Benjamin W. Alling thls morning, when 88 were naled before the court as a result of the week.end activities of " the police. The session was & marked one, not only for the number of de- tendants before the court, but.also hecause of the arraignment of six violators of the liquor laws, the first for this month, and coming after the month of August, which was the lightest month for liquor cases since the adyent of prohibition, Atty. David L, Nair peppered up the session whenghe appeared before the court in behalf of 18 men who were. caught in a police gambling raid upon the Spanish-American hotel at 84 Lafayette street, conduct- ed by Fredando Zaragoza. > Police methods fu handling the gambling situation were bitterly ar- ralgned by , ‘Attorney Nair who claimed in his flery invective that the police have gone out of their way to prevent gambling In Zara- goza's place while they have failed even to attempt gathering in men who are doing the real gambling, He said that if the police are going to undertake to rald and arrest men for playing cards for sodas and cigars, they ought to arrest the peo- ple who conduct fairs and carnivals in the city where they run wheels and other gambling schemes on which they realize large profits. Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods, in answer to a question by the court, sald that he stood ready to “fear- lessly” prosecute anybody who was found gambling in any way for soda or cigars. First Game For Money Zaragoza was charged with main- taining a place resorted to for pur- poses of gambling, and yesterday's rald was the only time, as far as the evidence produced in court showed, that money had been played for. The defendants admitted that they had played cards in the place for sodas and cigars, but never be- fore for money., They sald that Zaragoza. told the court that he did not allow the men to play for money, but did not object to them playing for cigars and sodas as Chief William C. Hart of the police de- partment had told him that it was all right. JFour arrested on charges of gam- bling pleaded guilty and the eight others pleaded not guilty. After sentence on the four men had been imposed, Prosecutor Woods made a motion to the court that the money seized, about $90, be turned over to the police pension fund. . Nair objected in behalf of one of the. defendants,’ who clgimed that Detective Sergeant McCue had grab- |« bed him by the neck and took the money out of his pocket, tearing the pocket in doing s0. and marks on his neck were ex- hibjted to the court to substantiate the story: The youth clalmed that he had over $50 in his pocket, but that the money was not in the game at any time. Judge Alling sald that he would not make any decision on the dispo- sition of the money until it' was brought to his attention in a more formal manner than a motion by the prosecutor. He said that the matter of dis. position of goods seized by the po- lice in raids.was one he desired to secure morg knowledge of. He re- terred to the large amount of liquor that has been seized in ralds, and against which no condemnation pro- ceedings have been. taken. He said that before the liquor can “he de- stroyed it must be condemned by the court In a hearing and the pro- ceedings must be instituted within 48 hours after the seizure. He said he did not know what had happened or what could happen to all the liquor that has been seized and against which ne eondemnation pro- ccedings have heen taken. Evidence was also submitted by the defense that the police had gone to the place on several oc- caslons and, went through the building, Zaragoza claiming that they had visited the lving rooms in their search for gambling. Judge Alling said that the restaur- ant part of the bullding was public and the police were permitted to look gbout there without a warrant, but that they had no right in the living quarters without a search warrant or speedy information that a crime ‘was being committed. Zaragoza was discharged on the keeping charge, and eight of the men charged with gambling . werc L also discharged. They were John ¢ Gaspan, Etienne Morand, Vincent 4 Meniak, Joe Martin, Tony Coss. ) Joe Carr, Jack Veto.and Tony Al- z’phon!& Anton Vero and Alphons: § Mas were fined $7 on their pleas o ; guilty and James Perez and Ven i turo Mas were fined $5.

Morri D. Saxe, pleaded guilty and ' tool % the blame.

He was fined $200 and costs. | Helen Kupaskl of 333 Myrtle street, the third of the defendants arrested in the raids Saturday aft- ernoon to be arralgned, was bound over to the superior court wunder 4500 bonds, when the dourt found ! probable cause in her case.

Helen was drunk when the rald was made, ac- cording to the police.
