long that club was in operation, ex-
cept that it ran until the sheriff Taided
il. He did not know the names of
any Of the officers except the presi-
dent. Louis Head, and said he gave
some money to Camp at one time, but

Court adjourned at l O'Clock with
McCullagh still in the witness chair,
and upon re-convening at o'clock,
OSS-GueStioning was resumed.
Regarding the Commercial and De-
Luna Clubs McCullagh said he did not
know If they were chartered. He
knew that the people who gRmbied
there were supposed to he members;
that when the Commercial Club first
started there were three partners,
Camp Davis and Brown, and later he
saw Brownson. Davis, Brown and
Jeanette divide money on many oc-
casions after the game was over. Wit
ness said he could not tell when the
change occurred, but was after the
move from the Commercial club; that
shortly before the raid by the officers
in December the gambling room was
changed from the northeast corner OF
the third floor to the southeast corner
of the same floor; that some time
prior to the change the game was run
on the second story; that during the
time the game was run by Camp, Da-
Wis and Brown il was not regular
gambling house and that some times
a week would elapse before a game
was played; that the money he took
70 Camp was accrued from the game,
and that the entire amount was taken
to Camp and a division made later;
he always understood that the money
sent to Camp was to pay the rents.
and did not know whether enough
was given to pay the rents or not.
When He Told Leftin.
The witness said he first told Mr..
Loftin, after his second arrest, and
that the latter had told him if he con-
fessed he could not be prosecuted, and
1t was for this reason, and because
he was under oath, that he had made
the statements; that he was leaving
town when arrested the second time
for keeping a gambling house, and
then he went to Loftin and made
statements; that when he came up
and testified he knew he would not
be prosecuted, further.
Continuing, witness said that Camp
did not have immediate supervision OF
the game and only came in occasion
ally
Re Direct Examination.
Witness said he had no direct
knowledge of either the Commercial
or DeLuna clubs; that he made no
application, paid no dues, attended no
meeting and did not know that such
a club really existed. He said games
we're fnfrequent because no one came
up who wanted to play, but some one
IL they came
He said Loftin had put him under
oath and asked him these questions
and he had TO answer, and the fact
that K made him immune from
prosecution had no bearing on him in
testiyfing.
