Combo is not keno, and Gambler John Girard, who ran the combo game on Broadway, was discharged on motion of the District Attorney’ in the Police Court this morn- ing. Girard’s keno joint, or, as he preferred to call it, combo establishment, was raid- ed ‘under the city ordinance prohibiting the game of keno. The ordinance, how- ever, does not define keno, and combo is a sufficlently metamorphosed brand of keno to preserve it from being declared to_be that which It counterfeits. Prosecuting Attorney Leach, in address- ing the court for a dismissal, said that as the ordinance neglects to give the detalls |-0f keno and as the Supreme Court has de- clared that it is not permissible to put expert testimony on the stand to prove what keno is nothing could be done with | the gamblers under arrest. For thé suppressivn of gambling there are two.or three statutes and a city ordi- nance, and if Girard shall reopen. his joint it is likely that undeér thé. statute.
