Nat Evans, Owner of Noted
Brook Gambling Resort,
Not to Be a Witness.
MEN AT JAMAICA CALLED
Racetrack to Be Combed for
Evidence in the Trial of
District Attorney.

Special Deapotoh to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
BALLsToN SPA. May 9.--Seven jurors
had been selected when court adj
journed tonight in the trial of Charles
r. Andrus, District Attorney of Sara
toga county, charged with neglect of
duty in an indictment returned by an
Extraordinary Grand Jury, which in
vestigated gambling conditions in
Saratoga outside of the racetrack.
One of the hundred or more wit
nesses summoned by the prosecution
is Nat Evans, considered "top notch"
New York city sport, who was fined
running palace of chance in Sara
toga during the racing season of 1913.
Evanss place is known as "The
Brook" which in fixtures and variety
of gaming rivalled the famous estab-
lishment of the late Richard Garfield.
which was put out of business in 1901
through a warrant issued by Andrus,
then Justice of the Peace.
On reliable information Evans is re-
ported to have been the silent partner
of Arnold Rothstein. racing stable owner
and layer of odds on most anything. who
is alleged to have purchased The
Brook early in 1919.
After paying his fine last week Evans
announced that he never had met An
drus In his life and could tell nothing
which might be of value TO the prosocu-
ton. which Is being conducted by special
Deputy Attorney General Wyman 5.
Bascom. 1fsf
In view Of Evans being allowed his
liberty on a $500 fine and making the
announcement that he could not aid the
prosecution IL Is not expected he VIII
put over "squear' showing that the
Brook might have paid protection dur
ing the August meeting of 1919 and
possibly last year.
So far as known Rothstein has not
been summoned to appear for either
side Other sport followers, more or
less known in the gambling fraternity
have been subpnned and will be obliged
to absent themselves for a few days
from the Jamaica race track.
There were 100 Saratoga county til
lers of the soil in the jury panel and
the courtroom's atmosphere was charged
with crop news and politics when SUI
preme Court Justice Henry b. borst
started the proceedings.
Both Mr.. Bascom and County Judge
Lawrence B. McKelvey. counsel for An
drus, questioned each prospective juror
as to his political afflliation and re-
ligious belief
Each man was asked by the defence

r. Brackett, characterized as the polit-
icaJ boss whom Andrus had successfully
onposed since the Garfield incident,
within the ranks of the Republican
party
Tho work of selecting a jury pro-
ceeded slowly owing to the political
conspiracy alleged by the defence, al
though the prosecution attributed SIM
liar activities to Andrus and his aids.
After attorneys for both sides had
questioned prospective jurors along this

Special Despatch to THE NEW York Herald.
ATLANTIC City. May e.--Prohibition
agents and customs inspectors seized
Scotch and rye whiskey worth about
$780, this afternoon in raids on
boathouse on Barrett avenue. near the
Inlet. and on an auxiliary sloop lying
In the inlet. Several thousand persons

House and Senate. Witnessed the raid
and had 10 be kept back by policemen.
Prohibition Agents Charles A. Kelly
and Walter ]. Hoffman had charge of
the raid on the boathouse, the land
operation of the Government forces.
They said tonight that from the boat
house. owned by Capt. Harry GaulSler,
they seized between 500 and COO cases OF
fine whiskey. The raid on the boat
house was held up because the agents
did not have a search warrant al first,
and by the time they had obtained one
and were ready to smash in the door
word had spread along the Boaruwaik
to the hotels. and crowds were hurry1ng
to be In at the death. But unfortunately
for the onlookers the officers didn't
break a bottle.
The raid on the sloop, which also is
owned by Captain Gaukler, was made by
United States customs inspectors at time
when the boat was lying not far from
the United States dredge Absecom, on
board which were the members OF the
House and Senate from Washington. The
customs officials said that they found
fifty bottles of whiskey on the sioop.
which is alleged to have been ssnuggied
here from the British island of Bimini,

impounded at the local coast guard sta
ton while the customs officials are obtain
ing warrants for illegal transportation or
LIQUOR and violation OF the customs laws
Neither the prohibition enforcement
agents nor the customs men have made
any arrests, the delay being explained by
the fact that it is necessary to sepd to
Philadelphia for warrants. the term OF

GOV Nathan l.. Miller made 1t plain
tnis afternoon that he would not accept
the excuses and explanations OF the
nolice chiefs of the state who replied
to a QUESTIONABLE sent out by the New
York Mayors conference that 1t was not
nossihle 10 enforce the state prohibition
laws.
lie declared that he has the power to
remove on charges any police OFFICIALS
who are lax in enforcing the laws. and
he intmated that he will use this power
unless the officials do everything In their
power TO make their respective territory
dry. The Governor said that ne had no
definite plans for dealing with recaioi-
trant police officials. but he SAID ne
would take up the matter as soon as
he had finished his wor,; on the thirty
day bills.
GOV. Miller particularly resented the
remark of the Chief OF Police of Amster-
dam that to enforce prohibition 1t was
necessary to turn 100 per cent. Ameri-
canism into 100 per cent. sduealer"
IL will say this much" the Governor
said. that the Chief Of Police, II he made
that observation, shows gross disregard
of what Americanism means. which is
respect for and obedience to law. lie
manifests unfitness to be Chief of
Police and the Mayor of his city would
do well to look into his qualifications
Anybody who knows anything at all
knows that any man. police officer or no
police officer. just by walking through
the streets of the town. can tell where
liquor Is being unlawfully sold. OF
course, you cannot prevent violations OF
the law. If we would we would not have
to have criminal courts but people who
wink at violations have no business to
be charged with the duty of enforcing
the law
Officials of the Mayors Conference
said to-day that they were amazed at
the replies they had received TO their
QUESTIONABLE. William r. Capes, secre-
tary Of the organization, explained tha'.
as matter of fact, the question OF the
ability of the city Admins istration to en-
force the law was not raised and that
the only thing the conference had sought
to know was whether the best results
could be obtained by the regular police
force the detectives or force Of private
detectives.
