every phase of the case, were executed on
all the prisoners.
The case of Walter Donnelly was called.
Mr. Brent, attorney for Donnelly, first
moved to. quash the warrant and, when
this was overruled, he entered a plea of not
guilty, and then the great fight began.
Sergeant Smith, the first witness, told
how he had heard of policy playing, and
his determination to break it up. He de-
scribed his raid on Donnelly's place. He
described how he had jumped over the high
open being locked; how he caught Walter
DonneIly running away from the building.
He stated that on entering the bulidlns ne
found a number of slips, books ana Writ
ines which he was told were used in the
policy business. Sergeant Smith had never
seen Donnelly write policy, but the place
in the alley was known as Donnelly place.
Ed Williams told of playing policy at a
place known as Donnely's place. He de-
scribed the modus operandi in securing the
desired slips. He said that there Is hlsh
board partition separating the writer from
the player In this partition are nnmDer
of pigeon hoies;" that there is double
slide-when the front one raises the back
one goes down-so it is Impossible TO see
the writer. Mr.. Williams produced draw
ing, ie, a slip of paper with a lot OF num-
hers On it, which he stated had been got
ten at the policy shop commonly known as
"Donnelly's."
Tilt Between Lawyers.
At this point Mr. Green, for the defense,
broke in and said that the man who played
policy is as bad as the man who wrote 1t,
and he thought witness should be prose-
cuted.
Mr. Marbury, commonwealth's attorney,
said: "All witnesses will be granted
amesty while on the stand, under the code.
The commonwealth" said Mr.. Marbury,
the full extent Of the law" At this re-
mark there was great burst of applause.
Williams testimony was unshaken by the
attorneys for defense.
Smith in raiding Dopnelly's place, was next
placed on the stand. He identified the
paraphernalia which had been got out Of
the house; described the place in pretty
Ferguson told how he had entered the
house by the front way and thought Wal
ter Donnelly had let him in.
A man named RObey was the next wit
ness, but was non-communicative, and no
material evidence was given by him.
Robt. c. Watson of the metropolitan po-
lice force of Washington was put on the
stand and identified the slip. papers and
books captured at Donnelly's place as
policy paraphernalia."
Arthur Gray knew nothing material; had
been in place supposed to be Donnellys.
Chas Adams was painfully ignorant as to
he had been in the place which was raided,
and which goes by the name Of Don
nelly's' place.
An Amusing Witness.
Isaac Hockey was an amusing witness
He told of having been to this place on
more than one occasion; was there on the
day Of the raid, in fact, but did not get in
On being asked II he had ever seen Walter
DOnnelly write policy, he said NO" He
was asked to tell how he obtained his slips.

caught the only man on the premises, who
was Walter Donnelly. Donnely had stated
to Officer Ferguson that if he had been
five minutes later he would not have been
caught Il ask. therefore, your honor,

Mr.. Brent, for the defense, summed up the
evidence in ehe case, and with the warrant
before him, said that none of the allega
tlons mad been proven, and that the ac-
cused should have the benefit of every
doubt. Why" said Mr.. Brent, ''if Walter
Donneliy was there, he, too, probably, went
there to buy policy slip and play policy"
This remark caused a snicker to run
through the crowd.

that he did not attempt to abuse some one;
now let him prove his charges. l want the
minfons OF the law to furnish me evidence

duced.

mained undiscovered At the time / refer
to about 1SSD yield of less than $40 per
ton was considered to be Improbable, or
In other words, the yield must be over 500
per ton to make mining profitable. The
