Verdicts Hindered by Precedence in City Gambling Case
Magistrate Hearn’s office opened this morning after a Tuesday evening dragnet when several defendants faced trial for operating gambling devices. Each pled guilty to disorderly conduct and paid fines of five dollars plus costs. Attorneys for the accused and city officials attended a conference revealing a shift from prior administration’s view that the devices were legal under city ordinance. The new administration contends the machines violate the ordinance but will not pursue harsh penalties, shipping devices back to owners. Defendants named include Nek Cornigha Elton Brown Frank Cinno Edward White Emory Birckhead and Heniles Reyes among others.
