contain a plain and concise statement of the acts
constituting the alleged crime; that the facts set
forth did not constitute crime, and that the law
under which the indictments were found was I'M

A FRIENDLY BET LEGAL
RECORDING NO CRIME.
Justice Gaynor Decides Business OF
Gambling Only Is Under Ban.

Justice Gaynor, of the Supreme Court IN
Brooklyn, in an opinion handed down yesterday
specifically declares that an ordinary pet oe-
tween friends is not crime and is a purely per-
sonaI matter. The decision was made by justice
Gaynor in dischargng from custody George b.
Sterling, who arrested on the SALISBURY soh
links on July 80 by Deputy Sheriff Brown Of
Nassau County after he had made bet OF a pox
of golf balls with Ephrafm Hamm on the result
of a golf game about to be played Sterling
made note of the wager on a card, and at the
end Of the game gave Hamm the dozen soH
balls. valued at Sc.
The case came. before Justice Gaynor on
hearing on demurrer to the return of a writ of
habeus corpus
Justice Gaynors decision says:
That every Judge of the Supreme Court IS
obliged TO issue the writ of habeas corpus on ap-
pcation, whether he wishes or not, ana Is SUD
jected by statute to severe penalty for refus-
ing. is in itself reason why members OF tne
bar should not apply for it except in case OF
necessity lest the writ be abused. 1t does not
seem to that il was necessary TO invoke the
writ in this case, for it is quite lnconceiVaple
that magistrate would rule that the informa-
ton against the relator states facts which con-
stitute a crime, and hold him for trial
The charge against the relator is that he v1o-
lated Section 351 Of the Penal Code by making
a bet with another upon the result of a game or
golf about TO be played between them, and re-
corded or registered the said bet on card This
was no crime. Ordinary betting has never
been made a crime" (PeOple agt. Stedeker 115
\. " 81, go The law has never descended 70
thrusting its nose into the personal conduct OF
men and women to that extent, and those VINO
try to make out that it has, only tend to create
a disreSpect for 1t.
All that the last Legislature did with respect
to the gambling laws to make them apply
inside a racetrack the same as outside AS 10
the writing of a memorandum of bet on a cara
by the reiator it is enough to say that Section
S51 of the Penal Code is confined in plain terms
to the case of persons who engage in the record
ing registering of the bets of all corners as
practice or business.
That Is common gambling. and the difference
between il and ordinary betting is too plain to
call for words An ordinary bet is not crime,
but if you hold yourself out to bet with all
Corners you are guilty of a crime
The relator- is discharged.
