ELIZABETH. y. j., July THE Union
county Court was packed with sporting
men this morning, who were anxious to
hear what punishment would he melted
out to ex-Fire Chief Nathaniel Fl. Ast-
taik and Jacob Reuter- for running poker
Joints in the city. John Cree, who
pleaded guilty to being steerer for
Reuters place, was also arraigued for
sentence.
Judge Mccormick said the Court had
deferred sentence in order to investigate
how, far this evil extended. He was sat
should have been "pulled'' and their pro-
pristors indicted by the Grand Jury.
The Court was convinced that these
city authorities. Why only two proprie-
tors should he indicted by the Grand
Jury, was passing strange, and the Court
could not understand this. 1t was the
duty, OF the authorities to suppress ali
gambling dens. but the Court had learned
the, evil had existed for quite some time
and not unknown TO those whose place
Ii was to put Il stop TO II.
The Court felt that severe punish

but did not, in this instance. feel like
singing out those who had pleaded guilty
there we're Il number OF others equally
as culpable. who had been permitted to
escape Indictment. The prisoners might
take warning. however, from this that
no mercy would be shown them IL they
ever again came before the Court for q
like oifense.
Judge Mccormick then sentenced Asst
talk and Reuter- to pay u fine of 500
each and Cree to pay a fine of $50.
The pointed remarks of the Judge
caused quite a sensation In the court
and are generally supposed to be direct
ed at Mayor Rankin, who ordered the
police TO raid Reuter- and Astfalk's
places, and was afterwards foreman or
the Grand Jury which indicted them.
1t was currently reported at the time
the Grand Jury was in session that sew
eral other places, among them the swell
Mattano Club here. were brought to the
attention OF the Grand Jury as running
a poker game. but only two indictments
were found. Mayor Rankin belongs to
the Mattano Club. 81. .-- k,,r.
1t Is believed the Court administered
this severe slap to the Mayor because
1t thought he had not exerted himself to
bring all the offenders to justice. !.
