Reynolds and Ramsberger Held to Court.
Losses of Memory That Amounted to
Perjury.
The final preliminary hearing of the
cases of Charles Reynolds and Charles
Ramsberger, charged with keeping a
gaming table, took place on Saturday
evening before Judge Turner Warden
r. Humphrey testified TO residing at No.
302 Market street, over the room where
the alleged gambling table was. He tes-
titled to going into the cellar and hearing
some voices and some talk about hands
which he did not understand. Frank r.
Miller testified to having been in the
place about three or four weeks ago and
had played poker there for money He
did not recollect who was in the game
with him. He only played few minutes
and quit about even. He had seen
Reynolds take the draw board, but could
not positively say that Ramsberger had
Witnesses were produced to prove that
Ramsberger kept the place.
In order to give the men who had been
caught in the room a chance to tell the
truth, the city solicitor recalled Lemuel
Stroud J. Walter Woodrow, Obed Outten
and John Kyle The lack of memory dis
played by these men under oath was never
paralleled in the police court. They un-
blushingly said that they did not recol-
lect the most trivial circumstances
connected with the game Of poker in the
room named
Lemuel Stroud's testimony was the
most striking example of this kind, and
was about as follows:
City Solicitor Ball. you have been
sworn and you are under oath. For fear
you did not understand me the other day
| will again examine you. You heard
Mr.. Humphreys testimony
Stroud: Yes.
Ball: "Do you know where the room
is that he described2'
Stroud: II don't know as do. "
Ball. "You have been in this place
and was arrested there You certainly
remember that rooml'
Stroud: Il know there might be a
room there"
Ball: well is there one?'
Stroud: Guess there is.
Ball. Have you ever in that
room, or in any room in or about the
building No. East Third street or under
the building, No 302 Market street seen
any game of chance played for money!"
Stroud: (appealing to the judge Have |
not been sworn on this case2 have told
what saw and do not propose to say
anything"
Judge Turner: "Well, you will have to
answer that question.
Stroud: Il don't recollect."
Ball: Did you ever see cards played
there2"
Stroud: Il don't recollect."
Ball: How many times have you been
in the placer
Stroud: Il don't recollect."
Ball: Did you ever lose any money in
there2"
Stroud: Il don't recollect."
Ball Did you ever win any?"
Stroud: 81 don't recollect
1t was decided then to hold Reynolds
in $1,000 bail for keeping the game and
Ramsberger in $3.50 bail for renting
the room. The city solicitor said that lie
could not ask for the continuance of the
bail Of the witnesses as they were utterly
worthless and he had ne testimony to
hold them for perjury.
