y ealthy Women's Poker
Game Raided by Police

A tip that came by an anonymous
letter led Detectives Foley and Don
nelly, Of Inspector Cahalane's staff, to
Apartment IA. at 40 West 143d Street,
yesterday afternoon. They were ad-
mitted. they say, by Mrs. Florence
Schlesinger, forty-fve, fashionably
dressed woman, who took the detectives
to an inner room.
There they saw eight richly dressed
women, ranging in age from thirty to
sixty, seated around table, and poker
was the game. There were red. white
and blue chips on the green cloth, and
the women were engrossed in their
play
The detectives took the names of the
women and permitted them to go to
their homes. Mrs. Schlesinger was
taken to the 152d Street police station.
She will be arraigned in the Washing
ton Heights court this morning on a
charge of conducting gambling game
The police say that Mrs. Schlesinger
admitted she was running the game
for profit, and had as her patrons some
of the wealthiest women of New York
She doesn't play herself, the police say,
but disposes of the poker chips in
stacks, worth $18, for which she
charges $40. Thus, on every stack of
chips delivered Mrs. Schlesinger made
a profit of 50. The game yesterday af-
ternoon was 81 limit affair.
