The JURY ACQUITS LOU BELTS

But 1T DIDN'T KNOW.

Case, Got Up BY Gen. Greene's western
Sicuths, Exported when Inspeet0
Brooks Was tut Out OF the Detective
Bureau, Was No. Particularly StronG.
Lou Bats, proprietor of the gambling
house at 1872 West Thirty-fourth street,
was acquitted yesterday by a jury that
heard his trial before Judge Cowing in the
General Sessions on an indictment aocus-
ing him of running q gambling house at
that address on Feb. 81. II took the jury
about ten minutes to agree upon it's yer-
dict. Bats had offered to plead guilty,
provided hs should not BIO sent TO prison.
He was willing to be fined. His Offer was
declined, After his acquittal Yesterday.
one of his lawyers said;
y guess Jerome wishes now that be had
accepted our offer 10 plead guilty and be
let of with a fine
The jurors, of course, did not know Of
Belts q offer to pl cad guilty. A number Of
the Jurors wanted to bring in Scotch YER
verdict is possible in this State. So they
agreed to acquit.
The case was known in the Criminal
Courts Building as Gen. Greene's case"
The evidence was obtained by two impaired
Western sleuths, who got into Betts's place
won over $500 and lost s40s. They saw
Betts in tho place. Once Belts told the
doorkeeper that one of the sleuths was
all right" On another occasion Belts
said TO the doorkeeper about one of them;
you've got to Ike careful these days.
He'd better not go up.
On three occasions for few minutes
at a time he sat in the lookout's chair, but
said and did nothing in connection with
the game. Once he stood behind the
roulette wheel with the croupier and called
out winning numbers. Betts'did not take
tn" stand
This case ought to be a lesson to Gen.
Greene" said a member of the District
Attorneys staff 1T was no case to send
down here. The evidence getters ought
to have been kept in there until they got
evidence The raid and the swearing
out of warrants were premature. II the
jurors contemplated verdict of guilty,
but not proven between you and me. they
sized up the case to T. | don't see how
anybody who knew about the evidence
could consider it strong case.
Belts $ offer to plead was made while the
prosecutions case was being put in, and his
lawyers thought we had something up our
sleeves. When they found our real strength
you, bet they didn't renew their offer
After his acquittal Belts went across
Centre street TO Big Tom Foley's saloon.
He put down one hundred dollar bill and in
vited all hands to see how champagne tasted
in the middle of the day. Then he hurried
away to join his wife, who ia sting ready

Tampico, a grass imported from the Phil

lies in the art Of stiffening the bristles &C

Making a good hair brush or clothes brush,
is a very different thing from making
paint brush or a floor brush. The black,
gray and white mixtures seen in many
brushes are not obtained from dyeing the
bristles. but by selecting different qualities
OF hair. The colors add nothing to the
durability Of a brush. but are supposed
by many persons to make it look more at
tractive, if there is anything attractive
about a brush.
