INDUCES LENIENCY.
Pierson, Arrested Two Years Ago,
Pleads Gui1ty-Aaother Charged
With Gambling.

George L. Pierson OF l02 4th street.
whose arrest occurred two years ago.
withdrew his plea Of not guilty and sub
stituted one OF guilty to the charges of
running a handbook on horse races this
morning before Judge Mullowny In the
Police Court.
Upon recommendation of the prosecution
he was fined $500 and committed to Jail
for six hours. The recommendation was
made because of the defendants serious
physical condition.
Il make the recommendation of six
United States Attorney Ralph Given be-
fore sentence was passed. upon the
strength Of examinations by reputable
and reliable physicians.
They assure me that Pierson is SUI
ferlng from a malignant form of organic
heart trouble and a serious asthma at
fection, and even a night in close, con-
fined cell would seriously jeopardfze his
life. These physicians have told me that
he is liable to collapse at any moment.
Il know 1t is against the policy of the
court to impose jail sentence of so
snort duration In cases of this nature.
Our office has the same views on the mat
ter The handbook gambling must be
broken up in this city.
But in view of the physical condition
or this defendant | feel that the ends
of justice will be subserved by letting the
recommendation stand"
Pierson was arrested the middle OF
June, 1907, by Detective Armstrong after
an extended investigation and charged
specifically in one count with accepting q
SIS bet from Albert Rasher. and in sec
ond count of making bets with persons
unknown to the authorities and in vari-
able sums.
The causes for the case not coming TO
trial from the time of Persons arrest
until today. it was explained. were due
to his bad physical condition, which
developed shortly after the charges were
filed. Attorney Ambrose represented the
defendant in the court proceedings today.
Another handbook arrest was added to
the long list of these cases in the arrest
of Edward Green. solicitor of 413 New
York avenue yesterday afternoon, by
Sergt. Lee, Detective Howes and Police
man Rout.
The authorities have information which
they believe will show Green accepted no
less than a dozen bets on races run on
one of the Canadian tracks recently.
The case is now under investigation by
the prosecuting attorneys, and will not
be filed before the middle of next week.
Green is at liberty under 81, 0OU bond.

calves and colts are found. The party
of hunters has about fifty bear oogs,

Legislature would stand together as
against Denver interests.
Mr.. Patterson has learned that
representatives are true to those
who put up the money to elect
them.
The first move for the newly
elected has been to close the
mouths of and hog-tie every man
who has a mind Of his own. In a
caucus all have agreed to stand
for anything and everything in the
way of legislation that a majority
may dictate. And of course the
majority will be dominated by the
powers that elected them and party
pledges will likely be forgotten.
