Two Number Houses Raided by State Police
State police in two-man teams raided two alleged numbers houses yesterday, disrupting a suspected operation worth an estimated fifty to sixty thousand dollars. Arrested were Mrs. Eugene Pacelli and Mrs. Mary Margaret Morelli, who pleaded not guilty to lottery, traffic in lottery, and conspiracy charges. Both released on one thousand dollar property bonds and held for the September Grand Jury. Police found evidence of daily plays and payments in both homes, with Pacelli implicated in up to one hundred twenty seven dollars in plays from ten numbers writers and Morelli handling fifteen to twenty five dollars daily. The raids occurred around 12 05 p m, with an attempted tip off at the Morelli residence. Police emphasized the operation was uncovered independently and not part of a larger crackdown in New Castle.
