NEWCASTLE. Ind. June II. -
Sixteen men and boys, facing vari-
GUS charges of gambling, from visit
ing q gambling house to operating
one. we're paraded before Mayor
Syrod Hays in police court here
Monday.
It was the result of the opening
Of a wide drive by Newcastle police,
under the direction of Chief Ingle
A. Laird on gambling in the Rose
City.
It was also the answer of the
police to the challenge of the gam
blers.
Recently local police arrested sew
eral local pool room operators, and
several alleged gamblers caught
playing poker in the pool rooms. The
operators and those caught gaming
we're all fined.
Immediately operators Of two
pool rooms went to the state of In
diana and secured charters for $50
cial clubs" which we're started in
well-guarded second-foor office
rooms.
Operations Protected
Here, for several weeks, operators
have conducted their games. under
the guise of operating a chartered
private social club
Police planned for several days
ways and means Of legally entering
and raiding the places.
Saturday night, about 9 o'clock,
when two poker games were in full
tilt in the Henry County Social
Club officers, led by the chief, and
armed with search warrants and
tear gas cartridges, crept to the door
of the club. AS a member" left,
the police showed open the door and
dashed in.
Several of those caught declared
when arrested that they would plead
guilty, and some put up cash bonds,
which they said would be forfeited.
The Henry County Social Club
was operated under charter issued
by the state At least one other
such club has been operating here,
but it was said today that its oper-
ator. who is known to have amassed
quite a neat little fortune, is pre-
pairing today to enter other fields
of endeavor.
Will Appeal Again
Chief Laird and Paul Benson,
prosecuting attorney Of Henry coun-
ty. appealed to the state some days
ago, it is said, to have the charters
revoked. They declare they were
informed that this could not be done
unless charges of gambling, or other
law violations were proved.
They we're further informed that
charters for similar clubs had been
issued in practically every city OF
any size in Indiana.
Now that they have what they
believe is iron-clad evidence, Off
Gals here are expecting no trouble
in gaining revocation of the charter
of this club.
Police admit that it required some
preliminary arrangements to gain
entrance to the club before evidence
could be destroyed.
