uayle'a manual. which WAS loaned
him by a member of the Civic
union
The specific charge on which Ar
gyle Wa charged was maintaining
gambling resort in the rear Of
Iumhafdino'a saloon at Georgetown.
The state made an effort To connect
ARGYLE with the gambling. but fall
ed 90 prove that he did anything
more than run n pool room in the
same saloon. Attorneys shipley
and Morris scored a point for their
client in the beginning of the trial
by successfully arguing 10 the court
that no evidence could legally be
given 10 show that Argyle conduct
ed the place in question on any
other day than the one alleged in
the information.
Argyle is the first to be tried IN
this county under the new state law
making gambling a felony and the
whole trial wns made little more
than a farce BY the nature of the
evidence given by representatives of
the civic union.

conviction. but we're amenable 70
