AN IMPORTANT"RULING. CUs* of the Iteoont Decision of Judge Cole Abost Race Tracks. Washington, Jan. 18.—Winter racing I in the District of Columbia received a' hard blow through the decision of Jus tice Cole, of the criminal court, sustain ing the indictments brought by the grand jury against the bookmakers of the Ivy (Mty race track, where George H. Enge man and others had started a winter meeting. Counsel for the racing men had moved to quash the indictments against George B. Marrin, otherwise known as “Ben nington,” Otto Townsend, Edward C. Smith and Bert C. Claypole, contending that the laws against gambling did not apply to bookmaking at race tracks. The indictments charged the book makers with setting up a “gaming table and gambling device for playing a game of chance of bookmaking on the horse race” which occurred on Dec. 26, and of enticing persons to bet by these devices. Attorneys for the defense argued that the device mentioned by the indictment was not within the meaning of ffw ac. of congress relating to ganAling, and that if it were it was repealed so far as racing was concerned, by a later act. Justice Cole, in ruling, said that the ousstion of violating the statute de . aa the aatatvwaf the —teieeaae ana not us name, and tnat tne Taw ap plied mainly to keeping places for gamb ung.

JI ’ Exhausted and faint. Mrs. Givens fell 1 back on her pillow; the firing ceased, ( and her husband produced a light, ana k very much excited, walked over to het , side and discovered that she was shot. ’ He helped her to stop the flow of blood, and after daylight went in search of.a ( physician.

Givens protested his innocence, and said he was awakened by the shots. He sprang out of bed at the sound of the ■ first shot, and could distinctly see that , someone was firing through the win dow from the outside. He tried to shield himself from the flyinir bullets, * and not until the firing censed did he 1 make any noise. Then he called to his . wife, admonishing her to quiet herself i and stop screaming. He says he made a thorough inyesti j gation after daylight, ands found foot ) prints under the window .And also found , where a horse had been tethered just . outside his gate. He announced the , theory that some assassin had crept to , the window to kill him, intending to t make his escape oh horseback after the , deed was done.

He , also accurately measured the horse tracks in the yard and afterwards meas ured the feet of a horse in Mr. Ennis’s lot which adjoins Givens’s home, and to his surprise found that the feet and the , tracks were of the same size exactly.

An exhaustive search was made for , the pistol, but it was not found. Givens . was locked up on a charge of assault with intent to murder, and if Mrs. Giv > ens dies it will be changed to a more se rious charge. r Howard Must Hung.
