PETER SAME FINED
$500 FOR PLACING
BETS ON HORSE RACES
Authorities Evidently Hope to
Break Up the Practice
Here.
THE OFFENCE WAS DENIED

Eight hundred dollars and costs.
OF six months Imprisonment, was the
sentence imposed by Judge Lynn In
Municipal Court today on Peter Same
of 2OS East Sixth street, charged with
being interested in placing of bets on
horse races.
Same was arrested last THURSDAY
evening by City Detectives Cook and
Gamble In a restaurant and poolroom
or the second floor of the building at
the southwest corner of Seventh and
Market streets. In court he was not
represented by counsel Detectiv,
Cook testified that he had the place
under surveillance for two weeks and
on Thursday afternoon, accompanied
by Detective Gamble, went to the place
to get evidence against another man
supposed to have been implicated with
Same. When they entered Same was
holding n race dope" sheet. while two
other men. giving the names of VIII
nam Carlos and Charles Martin. were
talking to him.
Same had pust handed a blue slip
o. paper on which was written "s5 on
Lunetta" to Carlos. Cook said. About
thirty other men were scattcted about
the room. some playing pool and others
studying dope" sheets. Detective
Gamble said he placed Same under ar
rest while Detective Cook took charge
OF the sheets and the blue papers
When the other occupants of the place
realized an arrest had been made there
Was a general exodus from the place.
sHA a \ .
or the Presto restaurant, at East
Fourth street, said the blue paper
had been IN his possession for two
weeks since his return from the
Pimlico race track. He denied ever
having made bets with Same, but ad-
mitted that he went to the place
every afternoon about 230 to get a
cup of coffee. In answer to Assistant
City Solicitor Green's question, why
he vert there for coffee il he was
at his own restaurant all day Carlos
papers also.
rs that the kind of Greek paper
you read?' asked Mr.. Green, holding
up one of the racing charts seized at
the place. Carlos shook his head in
the negative.
Martin, who has charge of a shoe
shining stand on. Market street near
Seventh, also denied ever having
placed bets with Same or any other
person in the restaurant. Same,
testifying in his own behalf, said he
had never received any bets for
money, but occasionally placed
money for friends.
By a strange coincidence, the horse
"Lunetta," whose name appeared on
the blue slip alleged to have been in
Carlos pocket, won that day.
