Secret gambling device uncovered in Washington building
The Washington Star details the 414 Pennsylvania Ave property once the Congress Clothing Store, now torn down for improvements. Hidden within secret wiring and a telegraphy system allowed cheating with marked cards, a concealed apparatus and hidden apertures protected by papered walls enabled operators to see players. The site, tied to Donovan’s gambling past, will be replaced by a new building under Dr Daniel Clarke.
