Cawley the gambling king of two Illinois towns
The testimony in Chicago portrays Thomas J. Cawley as the undisputed gambling king in LaSalle and Streator, Illinois. He runs a cigar store, a book, and gambling rooms with dice roulette and punchboards, employing 65 to 70 people and netting about $67,000 in 1949. He claims local officials tolerate operations, with police and sheriffs known to accept political contributions while permitting open gambling for decades.

Use a mix of Portland cement and sand, match texture, keep patches wet for several days, and consider dampproof paint for an even finish.
