were given, he felt an interest in
the matter, and while he did not APP

Torrance to which objection had
been made because it was interfered

is a professional gambler. He was
one OF the men in charge OF the
game at the notorious Bourgoise

which was under the protection Of
Casey when the latter was city
officer, but which was broken UP
after the dirty work done there on
Taft Day. McGlasson was found
guilty with several others and was
fined. serving a short Term in the

is that ne did pay some one for the

OF the show, he was ordered 70 stop
