clashes. John Berry was associated
with Mr.. Utley in the defense of the
members of alleged "hunting club. "
The defense sought to prove that
"The Home of the Hunter" which
was the name of a club for which jim
Calhoun obtained IA charter from the
the secretary of state, was respectable
meeting place for the people on the
east side and that no gambling games
had ever been allowed there. In proof
of this they put the defendants on the
stand, each of whom swore that the
strongest games played there were
checkers and five hundred Police
Officer Otto Reber swOre he saw
money on the table, just previous to
entering the house, and was supported
in his statement by Officer Enderton
who swOre the men were playing
blackjack"
In making his argument to the jury.
Mr.. Seymour lashed the defendants
verbally. HThe Home of the Hunter,
he said was never organized for hunt
ing purposes as claimed by the me-
fense but existence solely to hunt easy
ones and hide an ordinary gambling
| lOlnt Den1nu IL lNlH clOdh ol IVoPNSt"
bility.' He lauded Reber for his work,
and asked if the jury would take the
word of pack of known gamblers
against that of a police officer well
trained for his work by 16 years service
in the United States Navy, where re-
spect for law and order and truth
formed an important part of his every
day life.
Defense attorneys argued that it was
an easy matter for the officers to have
been mistaken and instead of seeing
money on the tables, he saw chips ana
he believed an injustice was being done
to colored citizens who had done nc
more wrong than the members or re-
spoctable white clubs and fraternal or
ganizations on this side of the tracks
Closing his argument, Mr.. Seymour
made stirring plea for enforcement,
and respect of the law, regardless o.
how it effected individuals or organi
cations and asked the jury to return
verdict of conviction to show the police

tro are with them in their efforts u
