DECIDE IT IN TEN MINUTES
TAKING RAKE OFF" FOR CIGARS
OR DRINKS NOT INCLUDED.
The Case of C. W. Redman of the
Palace Saloon, Market Street,
Tried and Defendant
Acquitted.

A jury has decided that the police were
wrong in arresting Charles w. Redman,
proprietor of the Palace saloon, S67 Mar
ket street, for conducting a percentage
game of poker in his saloon on the night
of April "a when the police raided the re-
sorts on Market street.
Redmans was the first case of the lot
to be tried, Judge Graham having lost no
time in arranging for disposing of it. 1t
was called Thursday afternoon, but when
the court adjourned only two jurors had
been accepted. Yesterday afternoon it
did not take long to select the other
ten. The names of the twelve jurors are:
John Utschig, Charles Frederick L.
Gassner, S. Schen, j. W. Riley, c. Forbes,
j. Swan, Frank II. La Faile, A Hirsch-
man, A. H. Brod, Richard Finking and
j. l.. Hoffman.
The first witness called was Policeman
jerome H. Tyrrell, who testified to seeing
six men playing poker in Redmans sa-
loon and seeing a watcher take a chip
from the center Of the table after each
hand and put it in his pocket and then
take 1t to the manager. He said he was
familiar with percentage game and the
game he saw was one. He identified a
card taken from the wall which read
Checks, % cents a stack, another card
containing the rules of the game, and
chips taken from the players, among
whom was Henry Hoffman, the man who
was sentenced to six months last Tues
day for begging.
In cross-eXamination Tyrrell admitted
that before he joined the police force he
had played poker with friends and since
joining the force only on one or two oc-
casons. Attorney Ach. for the defend
ant, wanted to bring out how much he
knew about percentage game. The eX-
animation of the witness was noteworthy
from the fact that Ach objected to every
question put 10 him by Prosecuting At
torney Wentworth except the questions
as to his name and occupation. ACh was
willing to admit that the evidence of Po-
licemen Meyers, Eastman and J. l.. Muir
ply would be the same, and so the pros
ecution rested.
The defendant, Redman. took the stand
and admitted that poker games were
played in his saloon. There was a rake
Off not exceeding two chips, representing
cents, from each game, which was util-
lied in providing the players with drinks,
cigars or sandwiches. l.. NJ. Ettinger, a
stock and grain broker, corroborated Red
man as to the fact that drinks or cigars
were furnished the players while playing
poker in the saloon.
Attorney Ach in his argument referred
to the fact that poker was not a bank
ing game, as decided by the Supreme
Court, and he argued that nothing had
been shown that percentage game had
been played a the Palace saloon.
The jury was out about ten minutes
and returned a verdict of acquittal. Ach
then moved to dismiss the cases of the
other defendants, and the Judge said he
would reserve his decision until this
morning

The Warning Christian Armies.

The complaint sets forth the oft told
story of how. on March 13, 1894, Governor
H. H. Markham issued to the relator, F.
s. Chadbourne, a commission as mem
Der of the Board of State Harbor Com
missioners TO succeed W. II. Brown, and
the fact that Chadbourne Immediately
took his seat; how Governor Budd, on
March 10, 1897, appointed Herold to sue
ceed ChadbOurne at the expiration Of
the latter's term in March of 1898, and
how Chadbourne stepped out and Herod
in. The complaint, however, sets forth
that Herold did not properly qualify and
the Senate in it's regular session this year
did not act, as required by law, upon the
name of Herold as a member of the
board. Then, on April II, 1899, Governor
Gage issued ChadbOurne a commission for
the place occupied by Herold, but it was
repudiated by the board.
Chadbourne therefore asks that the
court determine that he is entitled to the
office and that Herold is an intruder
holding the office solely by virtue of an
Illegal usurpation.

that they withdraw all of their demands
and then present a sufficient number to

This proposition was not acceded to. the
Auditor taking the stand that he would
