won or lost on such games.

they care for the players at these
games the provisions of this
section shall not include or be
applicable to persons who play
at such & 'n es unless they take
part in setting up or aid or as
sist in setting up. ETC..
Section 1868 provides that any
person who shall engage in play
in violation of Section 1860 shall
be fined not less than fifty nor
more than one hundred dollars.
The section following provides a
similar fine t. anyone who shall
invite, persuade, otherwise in
duce another to visit any place
where gaming as mentioned in
Paragraph 1860 is carried on,
and in addition the one inviting
is to be held responsible for all
m)nies lost by his guest.
Paragraph 1873 provides that
the witness cannot be excused
because he may incrlminate him
self.
Indeed. those ancient Ken

gambling houses. This is shown
fully in Paragraph 1864 where
any peace officer who shall fail or
neglect to discharge the duties
imposed upon him by Section 1868
shall upon conviction be fined in
any sum not lesss than one thous-
