New York on January 12 reports say District Attorney Jerome’s raid on Honest John Kelly’s establishment prompted rival seizures as Lou Ludlam testified, admitting he ran a gambling house. Panic spread among Tenderloin operators as many fled to Jersey City with gambling furniture. Police Commissioner McAdoo denied any higher up interference and pledged duty to suppress gambling. He noted subpoenas issued for other gamblers and a mysterious “man higher up.” Several plainclothes guards implicated in lax enforcement face possible action.
