Austrian Seeks Pay After Nickel Slot Win Dispute
An Austrian, recently from the Klondike area, asked Police Magistrate J M Kennedy for a court order to compel a 723 East Park Avenue man to pay him 3 dollars from winnings on a nickel in the slot machine. He claimed three wins of a dollar each were shorted when the machine owner removed funds. The judge and an attorney will review gambling records as to legality.
