Court adjourned at 445 o'clock until 10
o'clock Friday morning.
When court convened Friday morning
Deputy Encouragement Branch II. Giles
asked that the bail bond of William Morris,
colored, charged with lottery policy writ
ing be declared forfeited owing to the non
appearance of Morris or his surety, John
Archer. A capias was issued for Morris.
Mr.. Giles then called up another indict-
ment against Andrew ]. Eorsey upon tie
charge Of keeping gaming table. The
bail bond i'll this case was declared for
feited and capias issued for uorsey's
arrest. There were three indictments
brought against Horsey at this term Of
court, while an equal number were
ignored. Horsey, who is well known as
one of the most notorious gamblers ever
apnrchended in this city, seems to have
deiied the strong arm OF the law and many
times has he been arrested and released
only to resume operations at his old
haunts again. The meshcs of the law
seem to have reached out at last and the
inevitable conviction of Horsey is the re-
suit. a long term of imprisonment seems
to be now staring the Caesar" Of policy
writers in the face.
