SENT TO THE GRAND JURY.
VIM. Landers, Who Was Arrested for
Setting Up a Poker Game.

William Landers Is the name of a colored
man whose fondness for games Of chance
has caused him some trouble in years gone
by. He was put on trial in Judge Mills court
today on a charge Of setting up gaming
table in a room in the building at the
southwest corner of 10th and F streets
northwest. When the case was called
for trial there was some doubt as to who
was to appear as counsel in the case
Lawyer Kicks, colored entered his appear
ance and was proceeding to examine the
first witness when an intimation that Law
yer Sillers had been engaged caused an
interruption in the proceedings.
Landers said his friends had employ ed
Lawyer Kicks. but" he said. Il paid Law
yer Sillers.
Who is your counsel?" asked the court
Well" nesitated Landers. Il paid Mr.
Sillers and as long as he Is here he's my
counsel
Then you want Lawyer sillers to ap-
peary'
Yes. sir
Lawyer Kicks said that under the cir
cumstances he would not appear in the
case.
Sergeant Acton then described the raid
which was made at an early hour Sunday
\ itobt. Jones, a colored witness. who said
Landers was one of his friends. told the
night and played poker. He bought 81
worth or chips from Landers ana lost
them. Witness said there was no toll
down." but that LaIders did not contri-
butte to the Jack pots"
Another witness gave corroborative testi-
mony. Landers, he said, acted as banker
and he thought LanderS got ahead of the
game by reason of his not having to con-
tribute to the Jack pots"
Judge Mills said he desired to hear no
further proof in the case as the prosecu-
ton was upon a warrant. and he was sat
istied that 1t should go to the grand jury.
Lawyer Sillers argued the case for the
defendant and the court sent the case to
the grand jury. Bond was fixed at $500.
