committee for examination.
To Miller
Thomas NJ. Darrsh issues the pro-
cesses. and they are handed over to
g. the City Clerk after the Sergeant has en-
tered them on his docket.
To Hubbard: -
| think / got my information from
tie processes, and not from hearing
anyone talk about them; the Cap
tain went away that morning when the
reporter went away | asked the Chief what
was wrong; | know of no ordinance re-
curing the City Sergeant to take money
from people arrested.

ton that | remember; | think nothing else

To Hubbard
Mr. Grub came 10 my house solely on
that mater Of business; Messrs Beach aud
Hart were with him; | knew there was
charges against Burns; in tie first place
we didn't want 10 come; we said if We did
the side we Game against would try to pun
ish US; Mr.. Burns vas the man We we're 10
appear against; | think Mr.. Hart was the
gentleman who made the remark, that

To White
was one of the Directors of the FAN
Association; was on the ground during the
=. Fair; | knew the City Sergeant stopped
, games of chance; We had sold privileges
for ball throwing, a care racket and a
iewelry spindle; we did not know il ws9 CT
infraction Of the gambling Law; The Chief
of Police stopped tie games, ard the men
demanded their money; | came over to gee
the Chief, ard he said the Mayor had com
, planned to his deputies and he could not
permit it; | called to See the Mayor; he
!, gave me 10 decided answer that night, but
said he would consult the City Solicitor
and report the pext morning; the next
morning he said the construction OF
the Cny Solicitor waS that there
was nothing demorshzing about the
games, which conceded with his own
views; he said be had no objection to the
games, ss far as he vas concerned; told
the City Sergeant what he said, but the
ChIet Declined 10 co anything without q
written order from the Mayor, which order
the Mayor declined to give; the Mayor said
he realized the financial condition Of the
Fair Association, and did not want 10
bother US; the gaines rscompenced the
morning after they were stopped, because the
matter was still undetermined; the trouble
appeared TO be between the Mayor and the
Chief Of Police as much as anything
else.
To Hubbard. -
l suppose the games are games Of skill
rather than games Of chance; the sale Of
peanuts was not stopped; q fcense was
demanded from the vendors Of haudker.
chiefs, but the sale afterwards went on;
the Chief of Police SAID be had TO enforce
the law strictly, because The Intelligence
was after him; / heard q request Of the
Chief for money discussed; did not hear
the Chief say that the Mayors order had
produced insubordinstion; the Chief ard
the Mayor we're OF one idea in regard to
the games.
