"The professional gambler la a scab
on the body politic; he Is a festering
sore and a disgrace to the community
In which he operates,” declared Judge
John T. Pendleton In his charge to the
grand Jury Monday morning.
Judge Pendleton had reached the
portion of his charge In which he In
structed the Jury In regard to gambling,
when he took occasion to pay his re
spects to the professional gambler and
his "business."
“There Is not the slightest excuse for
gambling." continued the Judge after
he classified the gambler. "A man
may steal because he Is hungry or he
■nay commit murder because he thinks
he has been wronged, but when a man
gambles be does It absolutely without
excuse or provocetlon. The gambler la
i nuisance, because be produces noth
ing. but lives off of the things that
others product.
"It has been reported In the press
that gambling exists In this county, and
that for some reason the officers of the
law have not been as diligent aa they
should be in suppressing It. If this Is
true and If there la any degree of pub
licity connected with It. you can And It
out, and It Is your duty to And It out
and take such action as will At the case.
"It will not be your duty to make any
presentments, but If your Investiga
tions along this line lead you to think It
necessary you may make special pre
sentments In order to Inform the people
what your investigations have re
vealed.”
