John Ferguson and Isaac n. Cole were
charged with exhibiting 4 game called
faro at No. 10 Fourteenth street. 1t ap-
pears that man named Frank Dickman lost
his watch and chain by playing at an cn-
ticing game, and feeling somewhat revenge
iul, went and informed the police that the
tiger was abroad. Sergeants Southall and
Howard Immediately repaired thither, and
captured q considerable amount of para
phernala, such as dealing boxes, cards,
ay-outs, mahogany tables, thirty-fivc dol
lars in money, etc, etc. Dickman, how
ever, failed to recover his watch and chain,
which hc had stakcd against one hundred
and fifty dollars at a game of draw poker.
He stated before the Mayor that he did
not see the game of faro played in the me-
nagerc-notlling in the world but bluff
otherwise poker. 1t appeared from the
testimony Of Sergeant Southall that when
hc went into the house he saw Ferguson
sitting at one end of the table, and Cole
behind it, exhibiting the game called faro.
lie arrested Ferguson and Cole, and the
latter was bailcd out by Justice Allen, but
failed to make his appearance.
Dickman being recalled to the stand,
stated that he went into the house to sell
his watch, after trying to sell it elsewhere.
lie first got $50 on the chain, and lost that
ut bluil, and then got $50 more, which he
also lost; then got so more, which went
UP the spout with the rest. He then got
800 on his watch, sat down to play quiet
game of a" scvcn-up," and lost that. With
all his efforts (bcing somewhat skilled at
cards) he failed to win at any stage of the
game. Dickman stated to Major Clai-
borne that whilst he was playing "lrcezc
at poker" faro was having q gay and ics-
tive old time at the table in the room. The
