Verdict on Texas gambling case echoes failure of law enforcement
In Judge W W McCrory’s court last week a jury found W E Red Berry not guilty of permitting his Turf club to be used for gambling, prompting The Light to condemn open gambling, graft and vice, and urge residents to act. The paper blames churches, officials, and voters for tolerating crime and urges repeal of laws only when people demand action.

Enthusiasm Dims For Trial Of Lambert And Berry Case
The district attorney’s office showed little zeal Tuesday as Lambert and Whitten faced potential trial for operating a gambling house while W. B. Berry, freed Monday, remains under indictment for permitting premises to be used for gaming. The jury in Berry’s case reached a verdict of guilty on the main charge after two hours of deliberation and the court prepared for possible retrial on related counts. Supporters and lawyers lingered in the courthouse, with Berry’s team signaling readiness to proceed once jurors are sworn again.
