GAMBLERS PLEAD GUILTY
AS TRIAL NEARS END
Victor Lassare and Edward J.
Ferre Used Marked Cards
Skin Players

The use of marked cards In the
gambling games in Vegas is some
what discouraged by the develop
ments in the district court this week,
two of the crooked gentry being 30
deeply emeshed in the tolls of the
law that they face penitentiary SEN
tences.
When the jury was called Wed
nesday the first case on the docket
was that of the state VS.. Victor Las
serre. Four days were consumed in
the trial, District Attorney Stebenne
and Attorney Frank A. Stevens, fol
the state, presenting an array of evi
dence that made escape from justice
impossible. A. w. Ham, represent
ing Lasserre, made strenuous fight
for his client, but seeing that the
situation was hopeless, this after
noon advised his client to change
his plea to guilty.
Edward ]. Ferre, another defend.
ant awaiting trial on the same charge
and a co-conspirator with Lasserre,
also decided to plead guilty. Both
pleas were accepted by the court and
the time for sentence set for eight
o'clock this evening.
G. Lopz, against whom an informa-
ton was also pending in connection
with the same game. was released
upon motion of the district attorney
the evidence brought out in the Las
serre case not being considered suf
ficient to secure a conviction against
him.
Lasserre, Lopez and Ferre were
arrested Sunday evening, July IL, af
ter Joe Keate and District Attorney
Stebenne had watched the card game
for some time and secured evidence
of the use of marked cards. The
game in which marked cards were
used was carried on in the G. Lopez
place, in the Bank building on First
street

made his living by hard work and
now believes he has earned the right
to expect the consideration of the
voters.
Mr.. Keith is we'll fitted by educa-
tion and experience for the duties
of the office he seeks. He is grad
uate of Terre Haute College, Terre
Haute, Indiana, and during his young
er years was largely employed in
clerical work and accounting.
His experience of four years In
the Hall of Records at San Francisco
was In work exactly like most of the
work in the office of Auditor and Re-
corder of this county. Mr.. Keith
was also employed for considerable
time in the engineering department
of the American Bridge Company at
Chicago, one of the largest construc'
ton company's in America, where
his knowledge of mathematics and
accounting were in demand. This
experience also helped to fit him
more fully for the Office he now
seeks.
Mr.. Keith is not so widely known
through tn ecounty as many, but
those who are acquainted with him
recognize his sterling qualities OF
faithfulness and dependability During
his life in Vegas he has gained rep
utation as a reliable workman, and
if the voters shall see fit to elect him
they may expect the same depend
able qualities to prevail in the oftict
of Auditor and Recorder.

GORMLEY CASE SET
FOR MONDAY MORNING
Charges of Perjury Arising Out
of Celebrated Case to Be
Tried by Jury

The case of the state VS. James j.
Gormley, in which the defendant is
charged with perjury alleged to have
been uttered in giving testimony in
his divorce suit against Ramona
Gormley last January, will come to
trial before a jury next Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, according to pres
ent arrangements.
Judge E. ]. L. Taber of Elko coun-
ty will sit during the trial at the re-
quest of Judge Orr who is disquali-
fed.
Deputy Attorney Richards of CRr-
son City, will assist District Attorney
Stebenne in the prosecution OF the
case.
Hon. George s. Brown, formerly
Judge of the district court of this dis
trict, will come from Reno and be as
sociated with Mr.. A. W. Ham as at
torney for the defendant.
The trial promises to last at least
week, there being many technical
points which will doubtless take up
much time in argument.
Following the Gormley case, the
trials of Bill Tomiyasu and Tom Sa-
kai. charged with cattle stealing, are

place. when work on the great pro-
gram of highway improvement which
has been in preparation for the past
year is just beginning, he believes
that one who is familiar with all the
steus that have been taken is best
qualified to carryit on. AS a matter
of pride, Mr. Egger desires the op-
portunity to finish what he has be-
gun. Especially is this true of the
short line between Las Vegas and
Barstow via Silver Lake, which
gives assurance of better road cond1-
tions, less mileage for the state and
county to build and saving in the
distance between here and Barstow
of approximately75 miles. Mr.. Egger
states that the improvement OF this
road which he was largely instru-
mental in bringing to the attention
of the California authorities, would be
worth thousands of dollars each year
to Las Vegas and the entire county
Goodsprings, as the most important
business section of the county outside
of Las Vegas, is properly entitled to
representation on the board of county
commissioners. The valuation OF
property as shown by the 1920 assess
ment roll, for Goodsprings anu
Searchlight, shows that Goodsmngs
contributes more than five times the
amount that Searchlight does to the
county funds. The 1920 valuation OF
property in the Searchlight district
is 1921 $1,000, while for Goodsprings
it is $1,127,591.00. In the payment OF
bullion taxes on the output of mines,
Goodsprings has paid approximately
four times as much for the year as
Searchlight.
On these business arguments, Mr..
Egger is basing his claim to reelec-
ton on November second.

TOURING CANDIDATES
MAKING CONVERTS
Republican Candidates for Sen
ator and Representative Re-
ceived With Favor

Tasker L. Oddie, Republican nomi-
nee for U. S. Senator, and Samuel S.
Arentz, for Representative in Con-
gress, made a most favorable inn
preston upon the voters during their
visit to Clark county early in the
week. The shortness of the time al
loted for their tour of the state made
it impossible for them to visit all
sections of the county, much to their
regret, but wherever they appeared
they were met by many assurances
of support, not only by Republicans,
but by Democrats as well.
Two meetings were held Monday
afternoon at Goodsprings, one at the
Yellow Pine mine at four o'clock and
one at $50 at the Goodsprings school
house.
At the Yellow Pine Mine, Cover
nor Oddie had the pleasure of meet
ing some of his old friends of the
early days of Tonopah and Lucky
Boy.
Sam Arentz also was quite at home
having operated in the Yellow Pine
district for some time. About forty
miners attended this meeting, which
was described as a marked success
for the Republican candidates.
The meeting at the school house
was attended by about rs of the vot-
ers of Goodsprings, and was notable
for it's enthusiasm for both Oddie and
ArentZ.
Henry Robbins, one of the best
known and most influential mining
men of the district presided. Both Cd
de and Arentz spoke briefly on the
issues of the campaign and their
clear and forceful discussions of the
problems confronting the mining and
other interests of Nevada brought
rounds of applause.
1t was nine O'Clock before the
meeting at the Majestic Theatre in
Las Vegas was called to order, and
because of the lateness of the hour,
many VI InC PLCLul O-oAOW duulOACC
were unable to remain.
Judg Lillis presided and introduced
first Gov. Oddie, who dwelt upon the
necessity of protection for the min
ing, livestock and agricultural inter-
esets of the state, and emphasized
the fact that it would be useless to
elect a Republican preident unless
we also supported him by sending a
Republican congress to Washington.
Sam Arentz made a forceful and
convincing address and received a
hearty welcome upon his first ap-
pearance before a Las Vegas audi
ence.
The crowd remained attentive un-
til the close of the meeting notwith-
standing the lateness of the hour. an
evidence of the earnestness with
which the people are studying the
important questions of the campaign.

SENATOR WILL WE'D
LADY FROM ALABAMA
Senator E. w. Griffith Will
Marry Mrs. Fletcher Midg-
ley Next Wednesday

State Senator E. w. Griffith of this
city and Mrs. Fletcher Midgley of
Gadsen. Alabama, will be united in
marriage at Los Angeles Wednesday,
October 20, 1920.
Senator Griffith left Las Vegas Fri
day evening for Los Angeles where
he will meet the bride-to-be Tuesday
evening on her arrival from the east.
1t was at first intended that Senator
Griffith should go east for the mar
riage but the plans were changed by
the illness of Mrs. Midgley's sons.
Senator and Mrs. Griffith will come
to Las Vegas to make theirhome in
after a honeymoon spent in Cali
fornia. Theywill be at home in
Senator Griffith's cottage on First
street until in January when they will
leave for Carson City upon the open
ing of the session of the legislature.
However the Senator plans to begin
the building of home soon after his
return TO vegas.
The announcement of Senator Grif-
fith's approaching marriage will be
surprise to most of his Vegas
friends, it having been kept subrosa
prior to his departure for Los
Angeles. The bride-to-be is an old
friend of Senator Griffith's and the
marriage has been planned for some
time we understand.
The Age is pleased to extend con-
gratulations in advance upon the
happy event and we speak the senti-
ment of hundreds of friends of Mr..
Griffith in Clark county and through
out the state, in extending to Senator
and Mrs. Griffith our best wishes for
long and happy married life.

ing with Senator Nixon ten years
ago. He told an amusing story of
the engine stopping in the middle of
the river one night, and how he en-
deavored to avoid getting wet by
standing on the springs while he
cranked the machine. Naturally
enough he fell into the cold water.
The machine was of the old chain
drive type, and when start was at
tempted the chain fell off and long
time was spent hunting for it in the
waist dee pwater. Then a link was
lost from the chain and an hour or
more was spent in making grab sam
plies of the bottom of the river to re-
cover it. The party was exhausted
when daylight came, but they had to
go on to keep from freezing. AS is
usual with a real Western man, Mr..
Oddie enjoys telling the hard luck
story better than describing the sue
cess which attended the campaign.
Sam Arentz tells the people he
wants to represent the state because
he believes he can impress upon
Congress the real Importance of Ne
vada and the West, from 2 practical
standpoint. One of his favorite re-
marks is:
81 believe in and have alwoys prac-
ticed, the strenuous life. You get out
of life just about what you put into
it; and you will get out of Congress
just what you put into it."
