CITY u-DGL, KELLOGG REFUSES TO ISSUE
A WARRANT FOR ALLEGED PROPRl-
ETOR OF A POOLROOM.

CITY Judge William {. Kellogg yesterday dealt
severe blow 20 Surrogate Sikman's pooIroom
crusade bv refusing to issue warrant for the al
legged proprietor of a poolrcom here. The warrant
was asked for by Police Captain Woodruff evil
dence submitted by witnesses examined by the
Sheriff and District Attorney under Mr.. Siknan's
investigation The judges opinion is in part
follows
If the crime complained of; poolselling. has been
committed. is there reasonable ground 10 believe
that the defendant Thomas F. Corbalis has COM
mitted it? | have carefully examined the deposit
tions taken five in number, and find that they
CLEARLY show that the crime complained of was
committed They do not, however, contain any
facts whatever which furnish reasonable ground
one witness swears that he had any dealings with
the defendant or that it was necessary for him to
do arv business with the defendant in order for
him to gain admission to the pooroom. or that he
ever sa " the defendant in the poolroom. They do
swear that they had to enter the defendants
to the pooroom. that they went up staircase
leading from the saloon and thence through
or three doors to room over the ground floor of
an adjoining building This is the only circumstance
that tends in any degree 70 connect the de-
fendant with the commission of the offence com
planned of and this certainly would not justify
in holding that is reasonable ground TO be-
leye that tine defendant committed it, and so is
a warrant for his arrest For these reasons the
warrant cannot be issued
Surrogate SiIkman is being publicly urged now 10
institute action against the District Attorney for
failing to bring several indicted poolroom keepers
of this city to trial. who We're arrested and IN
deted last fall and against whom the evidence Is
very strong
