ROCHE WINS POINT
IN GAMBLING CASE
Court Rules Out Slips"
Prosecution Sought to
Offer.

The trial of Philip J. Roche, charged
with boOkmaking, was resumed in the
United States branch of Police Court
this afternoon. The defendant, who
was on the stand when recess was
taken last Thursday, was CrOss-exam-
ined by the prosecution.
Several witnesses were examined. but
it was hoped the case would reach the
jury this afternoon.
AS the case now stands, the court
has ordered the jury a verdict for the
defendant on the charge that he placed
q bet on April IA, 1910. This leaves it so
that he is charged only with placing a
bet for Joshua Jubb, the Government
"spotter," on July l6, 1910.
The court has further ruled out GER
tain slips that the prosecution sought
to introduce as coming from the pocket
of a coat belonging to Roche that the
officers allege they took in the raid of
Roche's saloon.
Argument for the defense was to have
been made by Wilton J. Lambert. On
the outcome of the Roche trial some
six other prosecutions for alleged book
making depend.

Austrian Emperor Has
Wonderful State Coach

The Emperor Of Austria owns the
most beautiful state coach in existence.
Its proportions are perfect and the fin
ish of the mouldings and cravings are
exquisite. 1t was built in 1896. and is
shaped with all the curves which dis
tinguish Louis Quatorze furniture,
straight lines being carefully avoided.
The panels are adorned with nymphs
in the style of Rubens. Indeed, the
custodian informs those privileged to
view the coach that they are the work
of Rubens. If Peter the painter had
not died fifty-six years before the coach
was built his statement would be be-
lieved. 1t is a more comfortable con-
veyance too than the British state
springs.-London Chronicle
