know If he brought that gun out
there for him. Alston replied
that be did not, but that he desir-
ed to talk with Miller. Miller
advanced with pointed gun and
ordered Alston to get out of the

seeing that he had missed, turned
to run. AS he did SO Miller shot
him through the head with a rifle

CHARGES
OF GAMBLING
DISMISSED

A public hearing was given last even
ing by the North Providence town coun-
Gil on the charges against Joseph Testa
for permitting a roulette wheel 10 be
manipulated and other unlawful gaming
practiced on the second floor OF his
place OF business on Mineral Spring ave
nue.. near the Pawtucket line.
George NJ. Hall was the irst witness
and he testified that he was irst told
OF the presence OF roulette table as a
matter OF news he bstng a reporter, on
the 18th OF January Last and he pro-
ceeded 10 investigate the matter as news
and aater because OF interest as a citizen
OF the town IN rumors that town Of
fcials had promised protection 10 the
men who set up the roulette table. Tn
course OF this investigation he visited
the Testa place and saw the roulette
table. the workings OF which were ex
planned by man who was there, and
who was introduced by MT. Testa as one
OF the proprietors OF the table.
George Kirk testified that he visited the
Testa place and played the roulette
wheel TO loss of from $3.50 70 81.
Town Sergeant Willis said he was first
told OF the roulette table by President
Parrot OF the town council and that
he investigated the matter from the
outside without discovering any evidence
OF the existence OF q gambling resort.
This was practically all that consti-
tuted the towns presentation OF the
case and then Attorney Edward NJ. Sui
Ivan or Providence moved for a non
suit on the ground OF insufficient evil
dence.
Attorney Easton. who represented the
town. said the council should hear both
sdes OF the case
Upon suggestion OF Councilman Nc
Kenna- II was decided TO hear the de-
fence anc Mr.. Testa was the first wit
ness. He let the second floor Of his
hotel. he said. to a charteded organlza-
tion, known as the Crescent club for
social purposes and that he knew moth
ing whatever OF the existence OF rou-
lette wheel until II was suggested to
him by MT. Hall. Mr.. Testa denied that
he told Mr.. Hall that the persons who
hired his place wished TO conduct a
quiet game" there and said on the
contrary. that he refused 20 allow the
roulette table TO remain a moment after
he found out II was In his hotel except
so long as was necessary for it's re
moval
Mrs Testa said that her husband did
not tell Mr. Hall anything about n quiet
game. and that she was In the room
during the conversation which took place
between the two men.
At the close OF Attorney SuNvan's
forcible argument the council went into
executive session for a few minutes and
then announced that the charges were
dismissed.
