Jury Fails to Convict in Hand Book Bookings Case
In a police court raid against nine alleged handbook bookmakers, jurors could not reach a verdict against Patrick Malone. Jubb testified he was paid $15 per case by police to obtain evidence, and Howes admitted hiring him. District Attorney Given criticized the police, said he may drop remaining prosecutions if evidence lags. Two defendants pled guilty. Malone faced horse betting and race-fixing counts. Detective Howes and Maj. Sylvester vowed further action and inquiry into the handbook cases.
