Pinball Machines Returned After Court Ruling in Frederick
Associate Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer ordered the return of twelve pinball machines to possessory owners after a Court of Appeals decision held that equipment with dual use legality should not be seized. Police and the State’s Attorney cited prior cases where the use was illegal, not the machines themselves. Petitions for Chauncey Cramer, Charles Kidd, Donald Morgan, Arthur Phebus, John Places, and Helen Thompson outlined various payments for free games on Bally and other brand machines seized in city raids.
