Owing 10 the frequency with which

contents of coin in this town of late,
there seems to be an impression abroad
that it is no crime to rob one of these
machines. This of course is mistake.
To break into one of these affairs is
Just as much crime as to break open
till, and appropriate the money The
frequency of slot machine robberies
here may be partly explained by the fact
that Amador is the only county in this
part of the state where such devices are
tolerated. The cracksman on this parti-
cular racket must plv his vocation here
or adopt another vocation, because there
is no field for his trade elsewhere,
Whether beating slot machine in play

law is an entirely different question.
