Racetrack Wager Case Buoys Gambling Figures
The Court of Special Sessions ruled that taking an individual wager is not a crime. Charles Mahoney, manager of the Hoffman House café, was discharged after being arrested on July 10 for taking $60 from Nelson Herzog as a bet on Enfield at Brighton Beach. The decision follows Justice Hoyt's ruling that mere individual betting does not violate the Penal Code and may hinder police efforts to curb handbook betting in cafés and saloons.
