Nelson, Wife and 7
Others Fined $1,000
By Calvert Court
sy O s,aft Correspondent, OF Tn. s,o,

PRINCE FREDERICK Md,
Sept. 16.-Calvert County yes
terday took its crack at Charles
E. Nelson. former Washington
area gambling kingpin.
Nelson. his wife and two other
defendants were given suspended
prison terms and fines tctaling
$1,000 in Circuit Court here by
Chief Judge John B. Gray, jr.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson and their
son-in-law. William MacWil-
liams of North Beach, Md, en-
tered guilty pleas to a November,
1851. indictment alleging con-
spiracy to violate Maryland
gambling laws.
The other defendant was Mac
Williams father, Heber Mac
Williams. who operated the
Ranchhouse night club near
North Beach, where Nelson al
legedly made his headquarters
IN late 1850.
Mrs. Brady Cleared.
Charges of conspiracy and
operating a lottery against a
fifth defendant, Mrs. Patrick
Brady. wife of Nelson's former
horse trainer, were dismissed.
Also dismissed was a second
lottery indictment against the
Nelson's and MacWilliams.
Judge Gray imposed three
year sentence in the State House
of Corrections on Nelson, one
year in the same institution for
William MacWilliams. and gave
Mrs. Nelson an indefinite term
not to exceed one year in the
State Reformatory for Women
Heber MacWilliams drew a one
year term in the House Of Cor
rectionS.
However, the court then sus-
pended all the sentences.
Heber MacWilliams was fined
1000, and the other defendants
$4,000 each.
Counsel Cites Publicity.
A. Gwynn Bowie. attorney for
the Nelson's. pleaded with the
court to levy fines instead of jail
sentences on the defendants. He
referred to the "harassment and
agony" the Nelson's have gone
through and the "unwanted pub
licity" they have received.
Judge Gray in imposing SEN
tence also referred to Mr.. Bowie'S S
remark about "unwanted public
ity," observed that when per-
sons f1out the law they must ex-
pect the full glare of publicity" "
To defense contention that
the Nelson's were being tried for
the same crime in various juris-
dictionS, the jurist commented: {:
If the activities are spread
over different jurisdictions, it is
proper that the defendants be
prosecuted in the different juris-
dictions."
Second Series of Fines.
On Monday, Mr.. and Mrs.
Nelson and five other persons
were fined $4,000 each and given
suspended prison sentences on
charges of conspiring to gamble
in Prince Georges County. Gam
bling convictions previously had
been obtained against the Mel
sons in the District. but they
were thrown out by the Court of
Appeals.

Woman Serving Time
In Gambling Case
Loses Leniency Plea

A plea for leniency by a woman
convicted of gambling in a case
involving wiretapping was re-
jected today by Judge Stedman
Prescott in Montgomery County
Circuit Court.
Mrs. Ruth Bratburd, So, of the
$500 block of Piney Branch road,
Takoma Park, Md, who has
served five months of a six
months jail term, said today
she is unable to pay a $500 fine
imposed at the same time as the
Jail sentence.
Judge Prescott told the woman
she would have to continue to
serve time in the county jail in
default of the fine. A sheriff's
deputy said this would mean an
additional 80 days.
mo fine will pay a gamblers
way out of confinement in this
county as long as he is convicted
in Circuit Court" Judge Prescott
declared.
Began Terms in March.
Mrs. Bratburd and her hus-
band, Eddie, SIS, convicted in
December, 1851, of possession
of numbers slips. began serving
time on six months sentences on
March 10. this year. The delay
was the result of legal maneu-
vering by the defendants to have
wire-tap evidence against them
ruled inadmissible in court.
The legal fight was carried to
the United States Supreme Court,
which refused to review the case.
THE people of Montgomery
County simply do not want pro-
fessional gamblers" Judge Pres
colt told Mrs. Bradburd. And
this court is not going to make
it easy for them to carry on
their nefariouS trade here"
Recalls Appears.
He continued:
You state that you are unable
to pay your fine and you want
leniency. Don't you think this
court remembers that you paid
an attorney to take your case to
the Maryland Court of Appeals
and even to the Supreme Court
of the United States before you
started serving your term here?
Il want to say to you and to
anybody thinking of starting
gambling in Montgomery County
that he is almost sure to get
prison sentence"
The husband was also brought
from the county jail to the Cir
cult Court room in Rockville to-
day. but, when he informed the
Judge that he had not requested
an audience, he was sent back to
his cell.

that it's full impact has not yet
