Oscars place" was raided last
night.
For fifteen years Oscars place" has
run in season and out of season. With
the lid on or off in Los Angeles "Os-
cars place" has always flourished. II
has been said that it has run with po-
lice connivance. 1t has even been
said that the protecting hand of the
police force was extended over 1t.
Be all that as it may, Oscar Cartlich
has run a gambling house in this city
for fifteen years and last night, toi
the first time in the history of the Los
Angeles police department, the place
was raided and the proprietor and -four
PLAYERS arrested for gambling.
Oscars Place." known as the Gem
trail club. was located at 143 South
Broadway. Two months ago the police
planned to raid it. Evidence thai
gambling was being conducted in the
place had been collected A night fol
the raid had been selected and squad
of officers, under two lieutenants ano
three sergeants, were sent TO capture
this stronghold of vice.
There was no raid that night, how
ever. The "quiet tip" which, from
time to time had interfered with po-
lice raids, had gone out and the place
was dark that night.
Took Another Chance
Then the police took another chance
at it. Several weeks ago Chief OF
Police Dishman detailed Patrolmer
Frank Bartlett and A. G. Berchtold tc
secure evidence against the place anc
to raid it.
Several days ago Bartlett and Berch-
told went onto the roof of the build

made by Dickey himself. The coroner's
Jury decided that the drug was taken
with suicidal intent.
Dickey's family assert that he had
beef afflicted with stomach trouble,
which gave him excruciating palms. and
was compelled to use opiates to re-
duce the suffering. His widow believes
his death was an accident
Dickey went to Woodland 10 days ago
to buy a home for himself and his fam
