Test Case Dissolves Against Anti-Betting Law
Kings County Acting District Attorney consented to discharge of two men Melville Collins and Joseph Loewy after habeas corpus writs were sustained, testing verbal betting under the anti wagering statutes. The decision follows a prior blanket designation of offenses under 1908 laws, with officials noting technicalities rather than merits. Police raids near Sheepshead Bay racetrack uncovered binoculars and betting materials. Governor Hughes declined comment on the ruling.
