Judge Gldersccve sau that under the circumstances
The law was inadequate, as the maximum
put in was $500 fine. Owing to the usual
custom to reduce fines and pun lshment
the accused saved time and expense by pleading
guilty he would, however, impose fine OF $3.50
On The three defendants. Judge Gildersceve
marked that he considered the punishment pre- or bed
for The prisoners under the law entirely insufficient
and ilproporoned, since persons accused OF keeping
q gambling house could under the law be punished by
only hnc, while those charged with beng dealers,
lookouis or Keepers OF the game could be punished
both BY fine ana Imprisonment. This was evidently
unjust and he regretted that he bad tho
impose an adequate penalty persons convicted of
keeping gambling houses IL was clearly no punish
ment TO line rich gambling house keepers who could
easily pay The nne and be discharged while some poor
fellow, who perhaps only earned living ny dealing
keeping count OF the game, would under the law be
punished on convection by nnc and Imprisonment.
