Cleveland raid nets 13 women in poker bust at private home
Thirteen Greater Cleveland housewives, including owner Mrs. Marge Keller, were released on $100 bonds and charged after a police raid on a private home in Cleveland Heights. Detectives photographed a poker game with $25 in the pot and $6.25 on players, while a rummy table held $14. Keller says the group is a club and the home was used for members only. Two husbands were released without charges. Ohio law bans money games, though officials say the statute targets commercial gambling.
