Superior Judge Lee Garrett has reached a decision in the case of three private club managers charged with gaming. He said he likely cannot announce his opinion before Monday or Tuesday and that the ruling will not be long. The defendants include William Krylewicz, George Brooks, and H A Ellebracht, charged after July 20 raids that yielded 16 confiscated slot machines. The court has previously quashed complaints and ordered machines returned, with an appeal and stay of execution arising from County Atty Bryce H. Wilson.
