were being inquired into, a number of
witnesses who had been officially
summoned to his Office during the day

an hour to three hours, it was claimed.
In fact they were giving out no infor-

It became generally known, however.
that reports OF gambling in the city
were under official probe. One or two

reported active until quite recently,
