ARRESTED, TRIED AND
FINED IN 10 MINUTES

When the members of the detective
force reported for duty on Saturday
morning at eight o'clock they found
that a blank calendar was to be pre-
scented to Judge Andrade, not one of
the holdover cases being ready for
trial and the drag net of Friday hav-
ing come up empty. This state of af-
fairs urged some special activity, the
specials having nothing to keep them
around the station as interpreters or
witnesses, as is usually the case every
morning. They had an hour to get
busy in before court opened and a
general scattering out was ordered.
Officers Reeves, Espinda and Apana
choose the Winston Block as a likely
place for business and descended upon
it. The first thing stumbled into was
a crap game in full and riotous swing
and four of the players were nabbeu.
Putting on the high gear with the pa
troll wagon the gamesters were rushed
into court just in time to save the look
of things and fifteen minutes after the
arrests the four were found guilty and
fined. three coming through with s.
apiece and the fourth having to cough
up 50. He had elected to plead inno-
cent but his three pals testified that
he was the one who had won all their
money
