THE LOCAL LOTTERY LAWS.
Two Cases Which May Lead to Decisions
of Importance.

The police say that under the present laws
lottery and policy dealers can conduct their
business without much fear of conviction. for
the law gives them the right of trial by Jury.
As there is no jury in the Police Court all the
alleged violators of the law have to do is to
give small bond and then the charge is laid
away among the cobwebs.
Still, the officers make an arrest now and
then.
The arrest Of William Edgars Yesterday as an
agent of the Louisiana Lottery Company was
the beginning of what may be a series of test
cases. Edgars openly admitted that he was an
authorized agent Of the company. The arrest
of Edgars vas followed by the swearing out of
a warrant by Edgars' wife for William w.
Gould, who, it is alleged has supplied lottery
tickets here for several years.
Detective Raft served the warrant this morn
ing and when the case was taken to the Police
Court Jury trial was demanded OF course
the demand could not be complied with and
the case could not be tried Mr.. Gould gave
bonds and will await the result Of a decision of
the general term. case was sent up to the
other court some months ago and was argued
In the General Term last week. The officers
are looking forward to the decision with niue b

The Queer HallucinatiOns Of Julia
Gordon's Husband.

Julia Gordon, q 250-pound colored woman,
was the prosecuting witness in the Police Court

opportunity to carry his threats into execu-
ton. The woman testified that her husband
said he was going to kill her with stick.

.'He's crazy" was the woman's reply.
"Have you anything to say2' asked the court
Of the prisoner.

heard loud voices at house 727 18th street, fol.
lowed by the crashing Of glass. Entering he
found Mrs. Lucy Lang in an excited condition

away from her and evidently out of her mind
She was taken to the first precinct station, but
when she became calm she was allowed to re-
turn home. Subsequently she was again taken
to the station. For some years past Mrs. Lang
has been in the habit Of visiting saloons and

New Departure In the Police Court.

This morning in the Police Court MIR. Rich
ardson, fer the District, called Judge Miller's
attention to a charge of drunk and disorderly
conduct against Joseph Lee, and said that on
account OF the circumstances attending the case
he would suggest that the court take Mr. Lee
personal bonds.
Judge Miller said that that had been the
uniform practice of this court. but upon look
ing into the law he had some doubts as to the
power of the court to pursue such a course
In other cities, the judge said, it had been the
practice OF the courts in such cases TO give the
defendant lecture and discharge him.
Mr.. Richardson suggested that the court
might impose . fine and suspend sentence
Has the defendant been locked up all nipht?"
asked the court.
Yes. sill" replied an officer
with consent of the court" said Mr.. Rich
ardson, III enter a nole pros in the case.
Il think that is the best course to pursue. :"
said the judge.
Under the judges ruling the personal bond
business will probably cease, except in vagraucy
cases, for in that class of cases the court holds
that 1t has power to take personal bonds
