Brass Rail Plea
For AbC License
Mrs. Simkins Quoted
As Saying She Got
Money From Husband

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board today took under advise
ment the application of Mrs.
Yvonne Simkins, wife of gambler
Roger (Whitetop) Simkins. for
renewal of the Brass Rail Restau-
rant liquor license.
The action followed testimony
by an Evening Star reporter,
Charles G. Brooks. that Mrs. SIM
kins told him her husband gave
her the money to buy the restau.
rant in 1916.
Mrs. Simkins. Mr.. Brooks said,
admitted over the telephone the
night of March 18 that Simkins
supplied her with the money.
OF course. he gave me the
money" Mrs. Simkins was quoted
as saying. They never asked me
about it. I'm not going to say
that it wasn't Roger"

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert Wise, assigned to handling
ABC Board cases. declared after
the hearing today that he had
been trying to prove Simkins sup
piled the money for the restaurant
for the last two months. Last
month deposition hearings we're
held in a court action Mrs. SIM
kinS is pressing against the board
to regain her liquor license.
The Brass Rail was the scene
Of a shooting several years ago
involving the gambling under
world.
Mr.. Wise, who expects the board
will turn Mrs. Simkins' request
down, contends that Mrs. Simkins'
moral character should prevent
the board from granting her a
renewal Of the license.
Testified on Number Link.
The board has the power to
deny licenses to any one believed
to be of questionable moral char
acter. During the deposition hear
ings, witnesses testified that Mrs.
Simkins had been involved in her
husbands numbers combine since
she married him in 1945.
Among the statements intro
duced as evidence today by Mr..
Wise was that of Miss Jacqueline
Terry given to the current Senate
Crime Subcommittee. It alleges
that Mrs. Simkins was involved in
numbers operations as late as last
fall.
Before Mrs. Simkins admitted
her husband had given her the
money, she told the board that
the money to buy the restaurant
had been saved while she was
working as clerk for the Govern
ment.
: To Push Court Action.
Later, when asked directly about
the money. her attorney, George
E. c. Hayes, objected to the ques-
ton and refused to let her answer.
He held that "the relationship be-
tween husband and wife is con-
fldential relationship"
Then The Star learned that
Mrs. Simkins' bank records
: showed she never had enough
, money of her own to finance the
venture.
Mr.. Hayes did not cross-exam-
inc Mr.. Brooks and is expected to
proceed with court action admit
ting that Simkins did furnish his
wife the money. He will hold
that man has the legal right to
make gifts to his wife in any form
and that they do not infer she
is a partner in any business he
