Costly Poker Game.

From the New York American.
 A poker game in New York tNSt broke up a revolution In Venezuela was told about before United States Commissioner Ridgeway yesterday, during the examina- ton of Capt George B. Boynton and Lewis M. Thompson, who are charged with planning to counterfeit the standard Boil var dollar of the South American republic, in order to finance. rebellion for the overthrow of the Castro government.
 Boynton, who appears in the role of a promoter of revolutions, and claims to have letters of marque against President Castro of Venezuela, was arrested with Thompson, his partner, and Kellar Bros, the die makers of East Broadway, just as they were about to float $l0,O00 worth of imitation Venezuela dollars with which to buy navy, army, stands of arms and most of Castro's cabinet
 According to the testimony of Charles Clyde Wall, one of yesterdays witnesses, he and Mrs Wall played game of poker with MT. and Mrs. Thompson at time when the budding rebellion was just ready to bloom Until the poker game Wall had posed as a friend of Boynton and .Thomp- son, and had even agreed to help them in their plans
 But the poker game ended in discord, for Immediately after 1t Wall. who had lost, suddenly turned information, notified the secret service men of the plot and thus not only cut short the revolution, but caused the arrest of the conspratDrs.
 The examination was not concluded yes- terday. but in outlining the defense Law yer Marx. attorney for the prisoners, said they would prove that as the dies were not to be used in counterfeiting United States money the defendants could not be convicted. sae
