Liquor Agents Seize Over 100 Slot Machines in Portsmouth Raid
State Liquor Department supervisor John Kocevar seized more than 100 slot machines in a raid on a storage room in New Boston near Portsmouth. The machines and building reportedly belonged to Robert Taylor of Portsmouth. Kocevar said the American Legion Post in the same building will be cited for violating regulations and that the department will haul machines to Columbus. He also seized punch boards and records suggesting Taylor sold slots in several Ohio cities. Taylor threatened arrest as Kocevar, temporarily in charge, pledged to close down all illegal operations under orders from top enforcement officials.
