ISIT RIGHT?
In the Criminal Court last Monday
quiteX number OF negro gamblers
of West End, vera tried and con-
victed on the evidence OF old Reubin
VAuleer, n negro gambler, who has
been running gambling house here
In West End for several months
BY turning State evidence, Reubln
WA allowed to go free.
We are against gambling in any
shape, form or f~shlOn, ami think il
ought to be suppressed; but we don't
tn NIX IL 10 right to allow a gambler
who has been indicted for gambling
and AlsO indicted for keeping gamb,
' ling house, to turn States evidence
against the other gamblers who were
indicted Tor gambling with him and
in his house. There is no doubt but
that the negroes were all guilty and
they ought TO have been punished
But when the slickest and. grandes
rascal OF the whole gang WAS allowed
to escape punishment and WAS al
lowed Witness fees for testilying
against the other negroes wh) visited
his gambling house, we think it i,
giving the gambling house keepers
too much rope, aud that il will have
q tendency to encourage the opening
: aud running Of gambling houses, MOI
only for the money there is in thu
running Of the house, but for tn,
money that can be realized OUT Of the
: business in witness fees.
Old Reubin is a slick citizen an(
has had no occupation since he ha
been living here in West End, bu
that Of y gambling house keeper, ant
the drawing OF pension.
