telegraph their bets on horses. which
are really made at the race tracks.
This is his answer to charges preferred
by the Society for the Enforcement OF
the Criminal Laws of the State.
BY what mental process Duffy arrives
at this conclusion Is as obscure an his
attitude of bold protector of the place

the six books under the rude shed must
smile at the cold blum which the White
Plains official hurls at Gov. Flower In
answer to charges upon which he WAS
summoned to explain his singular and
persistent neglect of duty.
Eheriff Duffy. by this assertion, has
placed himself in the peculiar, position
where ne must either be regarded as an
Intentional perverter of truth. or as
man whose purity 81 mi s Is %, so ere G,,
