JUSTICE NEU DEFENDS BOOKSELLERS.

Civil Justice Jacob Neu appeared in the unusual
role of counsel for alleged booksellers in Police JUS
tica Walsh's court yesterday. John Gallagher was
charged by the police with making books on the
races In the rear of the saloon No. Willoughby-
C, Judge Neu made a vigorous fight for him on
the ground that there had been no evidence that
there had been any betting OH the races.
patrolmau Donovan of the Sixteenth Precinct,
testified that he bet 81 on horse that ran in race
al Pmlico on November lG and tina: Gallagher took
the money.
The objection was made that the prosecution must
nrove that the race run before Ii could secure
q conviction and that the horse Donovan backed.
Iavina in this instance took an actual part IN the
race Justice Walsh adjourned further hearing in
order to give the lawyers chance 10 submit briefs
ON the law that point.
