Poker Joint Where
Politician Lost Coin

Three bunko men and a clergyman
were caught in the dragnet Of raid
conducted by Captain of Police Duke
Yesterday afternoon. Inasmuch as the
nosition was an embarrassing one for
the clergyman he was allowed TO de-
part without undergoing the ignominy
of arrest.
Cranv Conard, a former member Of
the San Diego Board of Works and a
prominent politician of the southern
city. was mulcted Of S147 yesterday
afternoon IN a poker game Captain
Duke upon the complaint of the vic
tim. arrested three participants IN the
game and booked them at the Ohar-
rell-street police station on charges OF
grand larceny.
Conard arrived in town few days
ago from san Diego. He took apart
nents at 760 Turk street Yesterday
afternoon he was standing on cor
ner near his house when he was ap-
preached by a man who offered TO sell
him some souvenirs. The politician
readily assented, being desirous of Sc
curing some mementoes Of the recent
disaster He was led 10 a room in a
house at $50 Turk street
on entering the house he was taken
10 a room where sat three men, Co
nard was told 70 wait until his pros
pective merchant could produce the
souvenirs While sitting in the room
a game Of poker was proposed Conard
was agreeable. An hour later he held
a pat hand and was called by one OF
the gang, who threw down four aces.
The San Diego mans last splurge cost
him his bankroll and he departed.
Firmly convinced that he had been
tricked. Conard reported the occur
renee to Captain Duke. Duke went to
the house where the game was held
and found the three men who played
with Conard. Sitting in the game.
which was still progressing, was an
English clergyman. who gave the name
OF the Rev. John Hayes. Duke, certain
that the clergyman was not one Of
the gang, but an innocent player, al
lowed him to 90. The other three men
were identified by Conard as the ones
who took his money. They were placed
under arrest The victim identified
. four $40 bills which were found in the
possession Of the gamblers.
The prisoners gave the names Of
Thomas Burns. william Watson and
. George Watson. The names are re-
garded as fictitious The clergyman
was SO embarrassed that Duke did not
ask him for his address or the name
Of the congregation to which he
preached the value OF q righteous life.
