ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 16, 1899.

TWOKINDS OF GAMBLERS

Some of the Testimony Given Last
Night.

MORE WITNESSES WERE CALLED

‘What They Had to Tell About Police Affairs.
The Session Has Adjourned Until Next
Thuraday Evening,

John Ayers was the first witness
at the police investigation last
night. He said he knew both Lam
and Frank since they took the Col-
umbia hotel. He had been around
the Columbia hotel for some time
and had been friendly with the pro-
prietors.. He had never paid Mitch-
ell any money for any purpose
whatever. He knew the chief of
police by sight. He had run a
game for 15 days 'n the Columbia
hotel in partnership with the house.
He thought the time when he be-
came interested in‘ the game was
about May 15. He did not remem-
ber having thrown out any sugges-
tions about the game to Lam and
Frank. When the matter came up
he and his partners considered the
matter over all night. He had
been in trouble over a friendlygame
of ‘‘freeze-out” before Lam and
Frank took possesion of the house.
On this occasion Officer McPhee
came and asked him to come and
see the chief of police. The chief
had told him that if the statement
he made was correct he would be
free. On this occasion when he
came up no witnesses were called,
no one was sworn, and there had
been no money paid, but he was
told that he must stop his game.
This wasin March. He did not, so
far as his recollection served, tell
Mr. Lam to square himself so as
not to get into trouble. He did re-
member that he had discussed the
question of a fine that might be in-
flicted but there had been no money
paid so far.ashe knew. He had
never gone to the jail with Lam, but
had walked along Columbia avenue
with him on several occasions,

On cross-examination by Mr. Mc-
Donald he said he had seen Mitch-
ell and McPhee at the time of the
trouble with the negro. He had no
recollection. of seeing the chief
there, and was not quite certain
if McPhee was there.

William Stillwell, one of the pro-
prietors of the Collins house, had a
partner named Moses, and in his
house a few games of ‘!reeze-out”
had been played’ for drinks. They
kept books ‘in the regular way. On
reference to the ledger for April it
showed that on a certain date some
money had been paid, but onsearch-
ing the day-book the attorney for
the prosecution could find nothing
that needed explanation. Then
came March with the same result,
and then May, June, July and Aug-
ust with barren results. He said
he had never paid any money nor
had the firm paid any money to the
police at any time, nor had the mat-
ter been discussed at any time be-
tween himself and his partner. He
had not known of any money hav-
ing been paid to the police, and did
not know of any complaints having
been made about loose women by
the police.

Adam Crossman knew the chief
of police and William Mitchell by
sight. He had been arrested and
locked up by the chief of police in
the Pacific hotel. On that occas-
ion he had been subjected to vile
language by both the chief and the

jailer, the former of whom had ar-
rested him without a warrant.

Cross-examined, he had heard
that he had been accused of biting a
man's nose off, and while the man
whom he assaulted had to be car-
ried away in an express wagon, he
was quite sure he had not bitten his
nose off. He had not attempted to

H. H. Clary was a bartender and
gambler, and had been so for a
month, and received $§ a day as
wages. He knew nothing of any ar-
rangement by which he was allowed
to goon. He knew nothing about
any money having been paid on his
account or that of Adams. He had
never seen or known of $25.having
been paid on either of their ac-
counts. He reiterated time after
time under the strictest kind of ex-
amination that he had never said to
Sid’ Hobbs or any one else that he
had paid any money to Mitchell or
any one’else.

Robert Adams said he was hand-
ling the club or gambling rooms at
the Pacific. He had been handling
the rooms since about the 5th of
August, He leased the rooms from

| Ernest Plass, but had never paid

any money to the police. He had
not paid Mitchell $25 oa the 14th
of. August and had never told any
one he had done so.

A severe examination followed
without any results being obtained
and finally the witness was allowed
to go, the defense having no ques-
tions to ask.

George H. Green had kept the
Grand Union hotel for two years.

He had some “nickel in the slot”
machines in his place. The police
had never interfered with the run-
ning of the machines, nor had h

had any taks with t.em abo t tie”
matter. He had never-paid nor had
he been asked to pay any money on

account of the police.

Mr. Klockman of the Interna-
tional and part owner of the Pacific,

said gaming had been going on in

the International, but the police had

never interfered with the games at

any time. Ever.since Mr. Kirkup

was the police magistrate it had

been allowed that poker games

could be run and they had been con-
tinued ever since. He had talked
with the chief of police at various
times about other games running

and the chief had advised him not

to allow any such games. He had

nor had he ever been asked to con-
tribute any sums directly or indirec-
tly on account of the games in his
house. He knew that no payments
had been made by himself or on his
account at any time. The exami-
nation was continued at length, un-
til it was elicited that there were
two classes of gamblers, the honor-
able and the dishonorable. Then Mr.
MacNeill began to inquire into the
private business affairs of Mr.
Klockman, and the witness, who
had given his evidence very clearly,
refused to say what profits he de-
rived from the games, and after a
discussion the question was disal-
lowed.

The mayor stated that the ques-
tion of allowing the poker games
to run had been under the consider-
ation of the police and license com-
missioners and it had been decided
that they be permitted, but that
black-jack, faro, and such other
percentage games: should be prohi-
bited. Mr. Klockman, he said, had
given the exact status in the case,
and he(the mayor) and the commis-
sioners were quite prepared to de-
fend the action taken.

‘Mr. MacNeill then asked for a
week’s adjournment as he was com-
pelled to goto Vancouver, and it
was finally decided to adjourn to
Thursday next at 7:30 p. m. and if
the evidence is then not all in, the
commission will sit in the daytime
on Friday.

Mr. J. R. Roberts, who lost his
eyesight about six weeks ago by an
explosion in No. 1 mine, is again
able to be around. The physicians
here give him little hope of recover-
ing his sight, he being now totally
blind, but an effort is to be made to
send him to an expert occulist for
examination. His health is now
good but he has to be lead about
the streets by friends. He will be
allowed to have his bandages re-
moved about the middle of the week
and to go about with dark spec-
tacles. .
