An agent for the Bankers Surety

palladium Special.l

Paoi. Ind. July 6.-Charles Miller.
attorney general of Indiana, is here
personally conducting the litigation
on behalf of the state against the
French Lick Springs and West Baden
hotel companies.
Discussing the statement made by
Thomas Taggart of the French Lick
Springs Hotel company to the effect
that the casinos were not a part of
the hotel property but were under
lease to third parties and suits were
pending to cancel these leases because
the hotel companies learned that
gambling was being conducted at tn.
casinos, Mr.. Miller said: There are
some peculiar features about these
two pending suits to cancel the
leases. Why were they brought in a
justice of peace court at Z o'clock at
night and tried with great effort and
secrecy and then as quietly appealed
to the circuit court, where they have
remained covered up and unknown?
They were brought to meet exactly
such a contingency as this and to be
dragged out and used as a defense
when needed. The leases were made
March 10, the suits were brought
April IL, the hearing was at night-a
most unusual procedure-and the ap
peal from the finding of the local JUS
tice to the circuit court was made
June IS, and all was SO quietly done
that few seemed to know that any
such, action had ever been instituted"
With reference to the leases, Mr..
Miller said: THE state is under OBJ
legations to the hotel companies for
these Official records, for in their COM
plants the hotel companies set up
ownership to the property and base
their petition on the ground that the
people operating the casinos have
been using them for gambling pur-
poses. Here we have the admission
of gambling. In all other respects the
suits for possession are jokes-as 1
characterized them in court"
Governor Hanley also issued a long
statement in which he discussed the
causes that led to the raid on the
casinos and the states purpose to
prosecute the cases vigorously.
Two carloads of slot machines and
gambling paraphernalia seized at
French Lick and West Baden were
brought here. A curious crowd
watched the opening of the machines,
which were found to contain $579.53.
The officials were greatly surprised,
rs 1t was confidently expected that the
devices would contain a large sum.
The money was placed in a bank to
await the order of the court.
