Bally Beauty pinball machine meets end in Will County
The Bally Beauty pinball machine declared illegal by County Judge John Cowing last September was destroyed yesterday by deputy sheriffs and Ace Iron workers in the company yard at 11 Third Avenue. M J Downs, Charles Hahn, Howard Martin, Ted Gautt and others oversee the sledgehammer demolition ending a brief reign under a legislative statute and a district court ruling.
