Judge, However, Suspends Sentence
 In Test Action
Mcfarland, in Whose Place of Business Contraption
 Was Seized, Escapes Fine Meyer Makes Spe. cial Ruling in Case of Wide Interest

is "supposed" to turn back into the machine for entertainment. Lit- tie cards with trite sayings whirl around and his fortune Is read in them after the mechanism comes to standstill. As matter of fact che tokens are more likely to be handed back to the owner of the store and redeemed at 5 cents apiece or for the equivalent in trade. The objectionable gambling feature enters here.
 It is the claim of the police that the New Haven promoters have att tempted to invade Waterbury with their new" idea of mint machines under the impression that the de- vices were different from those in operation here. ..
 Judge Meyers ruling puts the New Haven machines in the same category as those whose status was ruled as illegal many years ago and which resulted in the impo- sition of a fine of $100 for each machine. On each conviction the machine Is declared conf1scated and turned over to the police for destruction. .
 To-day's case witnessed the same procedure. Whatever hints, tokens or money the police find in the ma chine will be adopted. The cash will be turned over to the police pension fund, while the tokens will be consigned to the scrap heap with the remnants of the machine.
 The ruling of Judge Meyer makes 1t a tie-score between Waterbury and New Haven promoters. Their machines have been given the same legal standing and are sub- ject to confiscation when and wherever found and the customary penalty will be inflicted.
