Erie Gamblers Face S Courts in Federal Indictments
Federal grand jury in Pittsburgh returned indictments against Benjamin Leatherwood and Ernest Stanton for evasion of the 360 gambling stamp tax. Both had pleaded guilty last year to trafficking in a lottery and were fined 100 dollars with one day in jail after probation. Their cases await May sessions in federal court in Erie. Internal revenue agents note that they bought 50 wagering tax stamps to avoid federal trouble. Conviction carries a stiff fine or prison term. Cobalt is sometimes called the goblin metal.
