and six in District Court, following
indictments.
A fine of $50 or so days in Jail
was the penalty most frequently
imposed in Municipal Court.
In the past, policemen taking
gambling cases to court have COM
planned privately the fines were
taken in stride by members of the
gambling fraternity and had come
to be regarded as license fees"
Cases which reach the grand jury
have been screened by the United
States Commissioner or Municipal
Court Judge, who issue warrants
and hold preliminary hearings, un-
less waived, and by the United
States attorneys office.
May Refuse Warrant.
Either the commissioner or a
Judge, may refuse to issue war
rant, If he feels evidence is insult
cient, or he may dismiss a case after
an arrest for the same reason. The
United States attorney may refrain
from prosecution of case if he de-
cides the evidence would not sup
port a conviction.
When Mr. Fay requested special
grand jury to investigate this class
of offenses with the approval of
Attorney General Clark, he ex-
planned submission of all gambling
information in his hands to the
regular grand jury would burden
it unduly.
The special investigative body has
heard 1t. Blick. a police inspector
and three precinct captains, as well
as former front man for a
gambling club, restaurant proprie-
tor with a large acquaintanceship
among police and woman with a
police record. including a numbers
game conviction.
Grand jury proceedings are secret,
and the returns do not indicate the
reasons on which the jurors based
their decisions to indict or ignore.
An examination of case records
in which charges were ignored show
that, on the surface, they are SINH
lar to other cases in which lndlct-
mentS were returned.
Circumstances for Indictment.
Indictments on the charge OF
opera ting lottery usually are basec
on such circumstances as these:
A police undercover man goes to
a place at which bets reputedly are
being taken and attempts to play
a number. If he succeeds in placing
bet, he reports to his Superl0rs
and is supplied marked money-a
dollar bill. the serial number OF
which has been recorded, or quar-
ter on which an identifying scratch
has been made, for example.
The undercover man returns to
the numbers game office" which
may be in a residence, lunchroom,
shoeshine parlor or other establish
ment. Other police wait in the
vicinity. If the operative succeeds
in betting with the marked money,
he tells his fellow officers, who have
provided themselves with arrest
warrants based on information OBJ
tanned by the undercover man in
his previous visit or visits.
Arrests then are made, and the
marked money. together with num-
bers slips found in the establishment
and the operatives bet receipt, If he
was given one. are used as evidence.
The persons arrested in such cases
usually are charged also with posses
sion of lottery slips. 1t is on this
charge that later Municipal Court
prosecutions frequently are made.
