Jerome Says City Must Pay to Shut Down Gambling Dens
New York DA Jerome says closing gambling dens costs money and would require vouchers from the comptroller. He notes $1000 to enter Dick Canfield’s for corroborative evidence and questions whether the city will cover losses like $250 roulette bets. He recalls $20,000 spent by a committee without strong results and declines spending his own funds. He predicts reform in 18 months, while criticizing police leadership.
