Dr.J. C. Niedelet, who resided in Yank-
ton seven or eight years ago, and was we'll
known to those who then resided in Yank-
ton, is now a citizen of St. Louis and one OF
the police commissioners of that city. Last
fall the doctor and his associate commission
ers made a raid o n the Missouri state lottery
and caused the arrest Of ninety dealers in
lottery tickets, who plead guilty to the
charge made against them. Although the
arrests and pleas of guilty were made over
four months ago sentence was not pro-
nounced, the delay being at the request Of
the commissioners. About two weeks ago
the commissioners went into court and de-
manded that the prisoner be arraigned and
sentenced, and now the manager Of the lot
terry alleges that since the arrest he has been
paying the commissioners 40 per cent. Of
l2O of the profits of the lottery that during
three months he has paid them over $4,000
semi-monthly payments, and that the
n%on-payment of the per centage for Feb
ruary was the cause of the commissioners
sentence on the ninety dealers.
He further alleges that of per centage paid
bv him two of the commisioners-one of
whom is Nedelet-got 10 per cent. each, the
other and a fourth party 5per cent. each,
and that he was informed that the remain
ing 10 per cent. went to Gov. Phelps.
