Du Quoin Eagles Club Closed After Slot Machine Raid
Police shut down The Eagles Club in Du Quoin after a morning break in led to the seizure of four slot machines. Matthew E. Jackson, 43, pled not guilty to possession of gambling equipment and posted $1,500 bond for a hearing before Justice of Peace John Riead. State charges will be prepared by State's Attorney Kenneth Peex. The raid followed Patrolman Delmar Falk's investigation into the break in. Club officials claimed the machines had not operated in 15 years. Sheriff John Barber noted a 1958 coin was found in one machine. Perry County Clerk Frank Keith said the lodge did not register $250 federal tax stamps last year for coin operated machines, with no stamps registered from any Perry County location when required by the new state law effective Jan 1 1962.
