RICHENBERGER And M'YEY.
THE HORSE TRADER RECEIVERS IN
MAGISTRATE SAssE's COURT.

Tartar Catches Tartar-An Important
Judgment in Relation to Betting-A
ivagor, to be Legal, Must be Made on an
Uncertainty State Detectives Lose.
The case OF Manuel Richenberger VS..
State Detective McVey TO recover 1856
was heard before Magistrate Sasso this
morning. Richenbergor was represented
by ex-City Solicitor William T. lyman.
AcVey was his own counsel. Richen-
berger got judgment for S35 and costs.
hcNey gave notice of an appeal to the
upper court.
This is peculiar case. a party Of
WilmingtoniAns were on the ttain on
the way TO Point Breeze track, where M.
f. Hayden's pacing stallion Saladin was
to trot. Il was in September
Detectives Witsil and McVoy, officer
Harry Taylor and Richeuberger, q we'll
known local character, were Of the party.
There was a great amount of talk
about betting 500 on the races. At
last Richenberger bet Witsil and McVey
S35 that they jointly or severally, could
not show 500.
Witsil, who had Just received his pay
from the state took up the bet Rich
enberger first placed his S35 in Odicsr
Taylors hands and after Taylor had
counted it, took it away McVoy taunted
him telling him he always was a
'beefer
Richenberger placed the &35 in Nc
Vey's hands. Witsil covered it while
Richenberger was standing there Rich
enberger then qualified his vote by say
ing. "You can't show me 800 Witsil
counted out FIVE $40 bills. Richenberger
refused to look at them and walked to
the other end of the car. He sat down
and began reading a card. Witsil spread
ont the bills among his fingers, and,
accompanied by McVey, walked quietly
up to Richenberger, who was still read
/ ing, and showed the bills under his eyes.
Whether Richenberger closed his eyes
is not known, but he swore this morn
ing that he did not sec it.
McVey then paid the money to Witsil
without any protest Later In the day
Bichenberger asked McVey to give him
the money for & check MoVey refused.
This is what eliminated in a trial.
Richenberger testified in his own be
half, but his evidence was of such
character and SO unsupported that II
did his case comparatively little good
having against it the positive evidence
of Witsil, an interested party, and
Taylor, a disinterested party.
Mr.. Lyman saved the day for Richen
berger. He claimed that the transaction
was not wager That the legal defni
tion Of the word wager is money riske,
by two or more persons upon an uncer
tainty. He claimed that Witsil knew
he had the money in his pocket, and con
sequently the element of uncertaintl
legally required to constitute a wage
was absent. The two detectives did no
have anyone to combat this assertion O
plaintiffs counsel and the magistrat
gave judgment in Richenberger's favor

pended Pupil.
The board Of education transacted
much routine business at its meeting
last night. The treasurer and the com
mittee on accounts submitted reports
which were adopted by the board Re
pairs and miscellaneous business We're

The most interesting discussion Of the
evening occurred over request from DR..
j. II. Morgan to have pupil of school
No. 5. who had been suspended for being
absent three consecutive days, restored
to his seat Or. Morgan represented the
pupil as being a good boy who had
staid out of school to earn money to aid
his parents. The teacher had refused TO
accept his excuse, and the committee in
charge of the school had also refused
to restore the pupil when requested to do
so by his parents.
s. H. Baynard. who has charge Of
school No 8, replied to DR.. Morgan
charging him with having needlessly in.
terfered in the conduct of affairs of
school No. D. In reference TO the boy he
said that his parents had refused to
see and talk with the teacher about
ne case MnCM AtAuNettA W hN
so and that all that was demandad Of
them was to cooperate with the teacher
in obeying the rules of the board and to
preserve dicipline in the school This
they had refused 20 do and be- IN de-
fence of the teachers, had refused to re-
instate the boy until his parents agreed
to do this.
The discussion became general and
Ia hot
members President Baird. Joseph Pyle
DIR. Shortlidge and S. R. Smith eact
made speeches sustaining Mr. Baynard
President Baird earnestly besought the
members to maintain the discipline OF
the schools. He thought their useful
ness and success depended on that.
There being no motion before tho
hoard the discussion was carried on
under the order of personal explana
tions. and the matter was left in the
hands of the committee.
