DECISION GIVEN
ON ORAL BETTING

Albany, n Y. Nov 9-Betting ia
only crime when accompanied by a
record, registry or the use of some
part of the paraphernalia of profes-
sional gamblers. according TO de-
cision handed down today by the court
of appeals
In effect the decision holds that
oral betting does not constitute book
making In violation of the anti-race
track gambling laws. The court az
firms the order of the lower courts for
the discharge from custody of Orlando
Jones and Sol J. Ichtenstein, who
were indicted In Kings county on
charge of boolmakmg.
In holding that the LAYING OF odds
alone does not constitute crime,
Judge Haight said.
IF a man should offer TO bet the
ladies OF his party a pair of gloves or
a box of candy, il would not be the
laying OF odds and publishing the
same To hold him to be bookmak-
er would be a departure from the rule
that gives the statute their ordinary
and accepted meaning. and would be
a construction which was not within

says

would be suppressed because OF the
impracticability Of carrying on gamb-

ture, not the court. tc determine. and
we canno; hold that the aim of these
men constitute crime, unless IL falls
within the terms OF the statute"
In dissenting opinion, Judge Vann
says
The constitution forbids bookmak,
ing without defining it. and the stat
ute forhids engaging in 1t without de-
fning II. In View Of the explicit com
mand OF the constitution and the his.
