LOST MONEY AT "CRAPS"
 HE YELLED "P0LIcE"

Aftermath of q Saturday Night Crap
 Game Appears in Recorders Court.
 Charged with robbing George vann. a negro. Dave Sloan and Jim Pinck- ard. negroes, were tried in the Record er's Court yesterday afternoon and were both discharged. The testimony of Vann received no corroboration and Judge Baber decided that the proba- bilities were that he had undergone a mental illusion fathered by the infiu- ence of mellow whiskey.
 As the tale was related by Sloan yes terday afternoon, Vann entered a bar room on the outskirts of tho city Sat urday night and after indulging in the customary preliminaries suggest- ed a little game" Inclination on tho part of Pinckard to entertain the new conner was not lacking and he yielded to that feeling with the result that dice were soon rolling over the sur face of a convenient table.
 Minutely Sloan described the kaleid- oscopic changes of fortune which oc- cured displaying in his narrative great knowledge of the technique of the game. Pinckard. he declared, final ly won all of the money in sight. $1.S0. and was preparing to pocket the sum when vann made a dive for the silver. grabbed 1t firmly in his hand and expeditiously transferred it to his pocket.
 Disputation followed and fight. Sloan said. was only prevented by his prompt action in graspins Pinckard and restricting his movements. After comparative quiet had been obtained. Sloan, he alleged, left the apartment and was 1eisurely proceeding down the street when shrieks of police. rob- bery, murder" pierced the night air and held him spellbound with terror.
 He stood for a moment-almost Then a fieeting apparition, from whom was originating the sounds which had at- tracted his attention, bore down upon him and Sloan stated that he wes moved to take to his heels. It was when thus put to flight that he was intercepted by Police ofticers Curtis and Patrick.
 T hadn't done nothin', Jedge," Sloan explained, "I was jest running because that other fellow was running and hollering so." The direction of the other fellow" was toward Sloan. The other fellow was Vann. and his was the wild cry.
 vann declared that he bad been knocked down by Sloan or Pinckard and robbed of s6. It appeared mora probable that he had been knocked out by the liquid diet of which many negroes are so fond and on that sup position his evidence was discredited by Judge Baber and the case against the prisoners dismissed.
