Betting On Hotel Premises Case Before Judge
John Edward Neville faced charges of permitting betting at the Vandenberg Hotel on a Saturday in April. Neville pleaded not guilty and was defended by E. C. Palmer. The case grows from a previous prosecution against Clarence Shirvington for carrying on betting in a hotel parlor, with Neville present at the time of the wagering. Local evidence concerns arresting officer Geryl Clinpan and others. The material mentions wartime explosive content and a separate note about a bomb manufactured for a different target.
