TIE BUNKo OPERATORS. - The trio Of
bunko operators who recently decamped from
Sacramento and were arrested at San Fran
cisco for running bunko game and visiting
the same, have been found guilty. The CAL
Of yesterday furnishes the following synopsis
Of the case and the Judicial decision "In
the case OF Geary the prosecution proved that
the accused was found in possession of q lay
out used by 'bunko boys in carrying on
their swindling game, and testimony was in
trodUced to show that the game is conducted
as banking game, with 997, 900 chances IN
favor OF the game to one in favor of the
player. On behalf of the accused counsel
claims that bunko is rot game coming
within the law describing what banking
games are, but that it was simply game of
chance, with the chance in favor of the dealer.
The Judge said that he was satisfied that the
position taken by the prosecution was cor
rect that he was satisfied that the defendant
was guilty, and ordered him to appear for
sentence. In the matter of the two others
who were charged with having visited 4 gam
bling place, the defendants counsel claimed
that his clients were not within the law, as
it appeared in evidence that they merely
went to Geary's room to see if ne lived
there, and that they had not gone
there to gamble, and that in order to commit
crime there must be joint union of act
and intent. Judge Rix said that under
strict Interpretation of the provision of the
law every person who goes to a place where
gambling is carried on, no matter how limo
cent his purpose in going there is he would
IL
was trie1 before him, and it should appear
that he went to a gambling place on legiti-
mate business, he would not feel authorized
to convict. In this case, however, he said
the evidence went to show that tue defend
ants knew Geary, knew that gambling was
his business and it was fair to conclude that
they knew what kind of business was carried
on in the room where Geary was, and there
fore their purpose in going there could not
have been an innocent one. The Judge re-
marked that it was fortunate that the police
had arrested Geary the day after he had
rented the room and before he had an oppor-
tunity to fleece victims. Wright and John
son were adjudged guilty and ordered to APP
pear for sentence to-day
ANOTHER "FRANK. - The local item in
yesterdays issue7in regard to the quiet man
ner in which q young man named Frank "
had slipped away to the Bay and returned
with bride, and how, while they fancied
their marriage a profound secret, party OF
friends appeared upon the scene and extended
a voluntary surprise, was Internationally the
source of much perplexity and confusion to
4 bashful and entirely innocent young man,
and also created mud of amusement for
his bachelor friends. The blame for it must
fall upon a certain combination of circum-
stances that tended to establish as a verify
suspicion that had been entertained and
came so near being adapted to the young
mans case that it was evident to him no one
else was meant This individual happened
to be also named g Frank" he lived near the
locality mentioned was book keeper, two
the preceding evening in company with lady
friend. 1t was commonly believed by his ac-
quaintauces that the object of his trip was
to arrange for an early alliance with a
lady residing in the city by the sea-
Yesterday morning, when he entered the hotel
diuing-r0om, he found his table friends engaged
in making numerous comments such as
Z" Sly chap" - a cunning fellow" lucky
man." and the inevitable Il told you SO p
etc On inquiring the meaning of such COM
pliments. volley of congratulations were
exhibited. The victim of circumstances read,
and as he did so became convinced that his
plans had been suspected and made the sub
ject of an exaggerated story yet for awhile
ne found it necessary to deny that his pur
pose in coming to breakfast was for 4
'blind." The prosecuted young man, how
ever, did not miss his meals during the day,
but found it necessary more than once to ST.
lence the tests by an order for cigars for the

tanned that the true story in regard to one
had haply been applied to another.
