NEW YORK, July lI.-Alter hav-
ing kept open house for over thirty
years, No. SIS broadway, the most
notorious gambling house in the
country yesterday fieally closed its
doors. The police had no hand in
the event, the act being entirely
voluntary on the part Of the men
who conducted the game. Since its
establishment In 1853 the place has
enjoyed a high reputation for
''squareness." Joe Hall, the ..IEiug
gambler OF New York. . moved into
No. SIS in 1859. john Morrissy,
after winning Congressional honors
and becoming a power in local
politics, was offered and accepted a
partnership in the concern. The
result was one Of the most gigantic
gambling monOpOlies that could be
imagined. For a long period in the
seventies no gambling houses were
permitted 10 exist in this city which
did not get their virtual license
from him by paying TO him certain
monthly sums, which the payers
believed he turned over to the
auiuOFltltS.
John Mccormack, who was Nor
rissy's partner then. gave the largest
limit 10 faro beIters that was ever
dealt for this town. If "A patron
wanted the limit removed, McCor-
mack not only accommodated him,
but, after sbuffiing the cards, turned
the faro box over and let the bettor
draw the cards out himself, so as TO
insure perfect fairness.
The story is often told thai q GER
