Walters Denies Bookmaking Violation At Benning Race Track
Justice Stafford heard Walters and his counsel challenge a demurrer to the indictment charging perambulating bookmaking at Benning race track. Walters contends the offense is not criminal unless within Washington city limits, while prosecutors argue the law targets the business and evils of bookmaking beyond the mile limit. Walters’ attorneys contend Congress intended an 1888 law and that bookmaking is unlawful by the business of laying odds, with government countering changes in method since the Davila decision.
