VIRGINIA LAW AS TO
PLAYING OF POKER
Cannot Lose More Than Twenty
Dollars Within the Space Of
Twenty-four Hours.

Tho arrest OF William Phelps and Mat
them PellIgrini Monday night on war
rants charging them with maintaining a
disorderly house for the purpose of
gambling, has aroused much speculation
among citizens of Richmond, the sport
Ing fraternity in particular. MS 1t Is the
first time In recent years that any per-
sons nave been prosecuted for lndulging
In the fascinating game OF poker.
An impression has gone forth that 1t is
next to impossible to secure a conviction
on the charge OF poker playing. rs tho
law Is generally supposed to state that
any person may indulge in the game to
the extent OF a loss or winning OF $50 at
a single sitting. Many hold that every
hand at poker Is n new game, and that
after losing the amount stipulated the
man may leave his chair for minute.
walk around the table and resume again,
thereby evading the liter and intent of
the law.
But such Is not the case, as section
SSl3 of the Code of virginia will show.
1t follows:
If any person by playing or betting al
any game or wager elsewhere than a
public place lose or win within twenty
four hours n greater sum, or anything of
greater value, than $50 he has TO be pun
lshed as described in the preceding sec
ton"
Thus 1t will be seen that the Code
states plainly that no person shall lose
moro than $50 within twenty-four hours,
Instead of at ono sitting
NIessrs, Phelps and Pelllgrini conducted
their game under tho charter OF club,
thereby living within the law in regard
to gambling In other than public places.

for trial He proposed to the faith
ers OF the dusky youngsters that
II they wouldpublicly administer a
sound thrashing with keen switch

Wash and Jerry promptly accepted
the proposition and at once led the
boys out into the public square and
proceeded TO carry out their part
OF the program in such a vigorous
manner that Marshal DeROssett
interiered, 1t is safe to say the
youngsters will not again be guilty
OF such a bungling job.
