ROSWELL MEN
PAY FINE FOR
GAMBLING
SIXTY DOLLARS AND COSTS
PENALTY FOR POKER GAME
Prominent Citizens Caught in
Raid on Hotel Room; Believed
Arrests Mean Shake Up in
Police Department.

Especial Dispatch to the Morning 5ournail
Roswell \. NJ, oct. six prom
inent citizens were found guilty Sat
urday of the charge of gambling and
fined $50 and costs each as result
of raid on an alleged poker game in
u room in a hotel here Wednesday
night. Two other cases are yet to
come up as a result of the raid. The
incident is looked upon more as a
shake-up in city official circles than
otherwise, on account of the effect
that the raid is expected to have in the
enforcement of city gambling and
bawdy house ordinances. A raid had
been ordered on this particular room
by Mayor G. A. Richardson on the
night preceding but the order had not
been carried out On the night of
the raid City Attorney R. y. Bowers
filed with the city clerk his resigna-
tion in which he stated that he did
not want to hold the office because
he did not have the support of the
of the city laws, aud stating that he
did not want TO take the salary when
he could not earn it. The resgna
tion was filed supposing it would be
read at meeting of the council
Wednesday night, but was withheld at
the request of Mayor Richardson. I'll
is now thought that city Attorney
Bowers will reconsider his resigna
tlon.
