who was thought to be the
brains" OF can't lose" race
track betting system.
The complaining bookmskers
were Irving and Patrick Lee,
brothers, who pointed to wrecked
short-wave radio equipment to
prove their point that they had
been defrauded.
Police held the four accused
while the circuit attorneys
office thumbed law books In
an effort TO find legal support
for some sort OF q formal
charge. Legally, the situation
was that bookmakers are out
side the law In Missouri.
Those held were Mr.. and Mrs.

Caverly of Anaheim, Calf. and
Guy Leslie Stark, who said he wss
a licensed amateur radio operator
from San Diego, Calf.
z. r. Mallory, San Diego, was
sought. The wrecked radio equip
ment WAS in a car belonging to
Mallory.
BECOME SUSPICIOUS
The Lee brothers said Mrs.
Chatham had been taking them
plenty" on last minute bets. They
became suspicious, they said, be-
cause she always leaned her head
on a hand until she suddenly would
leap up and make a last minute
bet-always on the nose Of a
winner
1t was then they decided to fol-
low her and investigate. In Nal
lory's car outside their shop. they
found the short wave equipment
and, police charge, destroyed It.
For that the Lee brothers
were accused Of destruction Of
property. The complaint
against their customers auto
maticslly resulted In . charge

Iishment.
Shouted the Lees:
I'VE think they got track results
by radio. then sent that informA-

ried a receiver in her hand or hat,
and she would place last minute
bet before the result Of a race
