The San Francisco call., 1907-06-27


one of the Hveliest days in Its history
this afternoon. District Attorney Boyd
and Sheriff Taylor, fanked by Captain
Jack Cleary of the Morse patrol and
a squad of his husky patrolmen who
had been sworn in as Marin county
constables, raided the poolroom of
Frank Daroux on the water front
Touts and gamblers rushed pell nell
in every direction to escape them, and
several jumped into the bay, one nearly
losing his life. When news of the raid
reached the resort conducted by Joe
Harvey he promptly closed its doors.
Boyd, Taylor, Cleary and four of the
latter's men invaded Daroux's place
shortly after l o'clock. Cleary read
formal notice from Boyd to the assem-
bled crowd, and while he was perform
ing this function Boyd hurried to Har-
veys place and did likewise. The
notice was as follows:
All persons who gathered in this room for
the purpose Of betting and wagering sums OF
warned that they are committing an unlawful
act in assembling, and. by virtue OF the pro.
visions OF sections 409 and 4l6 OF the renal
Code of the state of California, you are com
manded TO disperse and warned that II you DO
not disperse In FIVE minutes from this time you
will be arrested and prosecuted for having com
mitted q misdemeanor
Louis Pistolesi, attorney for City
the cause of the poolrooms, rushed into
Daroux's place a few minutes later and
informed the men in charge not to pay
any attention to Cleary's order Boyd
arrived soon afterward and inquired
why the raid had not been made and
Pistolesi grew excited and again
shouted to the poolroom men to stand
pat"
BOYD ordered the raid to be begun
ut closing
the place in q business like manner.
Dashing into the middle of the crowd,
he arrested three men. His four as
sistants followed his lead, and soon
the poolroom was the scene of wild
disorder.
Touts, gamblers, ticket writers and
various other employees of the pool
room raced for doors and windows.
Several jumped through the windows
opening on the bay and were given
chance to demonstrate their skill as
swimmers. One man would have been
drowned but for the timely action of
bystanders, who rescued him none too
soon.
The three men arrested by Cleary
were taken to City Marshal Humans
office. but were Immediately released
on an order from Recorder Brennan,
and, to the surprise of the town con-
stables, Swift, Cunningham, Sullivan
and Estudillo were placed under arrest
by the Sausalito officials. On hearing
this Cleary hurried to the city mar
shals office, vowing vengeance AS
soon as he put in an appearance his
four men were released without fur
ther ceremony.
Todays raid was only a preliminary
to the bitter fight that will be begun
today, with District Attorney Boyd,
Sheriff Taylor and Captain C1eary ar
rayed against the town officials of
Sausalito. Cleary announced tonight
that he would swear out warrants to-
morrow for the arrest of City Marshal
Harmon, Recorder Brennan and Attor-
ney Pistolesi on charges of interfering
with an officer, battery and allowing
prisoners to escape. Cleary said that
the poolrooms would be raided again
tomorrow and that every tout and
gambler found in Sausalito would be
promptly arrested.
