The girl, however had very nearly reached the point of having what she was ready to say said in her sleep.

DONE UP BROWN - - • Westmoreland of Atlanta Paralyzes one of THE EXPERT GAMBLERS Os the Gate City. Forty Packu> of cards and a Half Bush el of Poker Chips with an Affidavit in the Jack-pot- This morning’s Constitution con. tains the following most readable article: Forty packs of cards, a half bushel of poker chips ami a take out box were among the gambling assets of William Brown,said to be a professional card player, which were displayed in the city court room yesterday morning. The eyes of the jury and assem bled spectators in the courtroom grew large with astonishment at the. volume of gaming utensils. Jadge Westmoreland was as tounded at the revelation and glared at them with a look of puz zled curiosity. It was one of the largest hauls he had ever witnessed and his surprise and astonishment were unbounded. Two charges were preferred a gaiust Brown, one for running a gam bling house and the other one for gaining. To both of these he pled guilty. Judge Westmoreland thereupon passed sentence on the prisoner, re quiring him to pay a fine of SSOO for running a gambling house and 8200 for gaming, making a total of S7OO. Ha has not yet made up tbi a sum, but the probability is be will pay the full amount of the fine today. Before the sentence was passed by Judge Westmoreland am affidavit, in behalf of the pnsoaer, was read by his attorney, Mr. J. W. Austin* Lu this affidavit he avowed his in tout son to turn ever a new leaf .u hts diary. He stated that he came from DeKalb county au< that for a num bar of years he hat been in the habit of playing cards He acknowledged that he was the owu«r of a private gaming house on Loyd street, but denied that he was guilty of acj deliberate in tention to violate the law. He thought, since he carried on the business privately, that no penalty was thereby incurred. He exonerated the detectives from all charges which wore laid at their door and declared that he nothing against the charac er or methods or the detective force of tins city. The affidavit was strong and weil written. As soon as Mr. Austin had fin ished rending the affidavit Solictor Thomas arose to his feet and asked for the privilege of asking Mr. Brown a lew supplementary ques tions. The court readily consented and the solicitor began to question him in regard to the charges which were made against the detectives and which public rumor had laid at his door. “Did you ever offer any member of the detective force a bribe?” asked Solicitor Thomas. “Never,” was the reply. “Did you ever hear of any one else who made such an offer. “I never did. ” Tms appeared to satisfy the so licitor aud be resumed his seat. In ceitaiu charges made against the detectives a tew mouths ago it was stated that Brown was iu posses sion of facts by which the guilt ot the detectives iu accepting bribes could be established. His disclo sures from the witness stand yes. terday morning throw important fignt ou the situation. Judge Westmoreland, in passing sentence, stated that he had noth ing to do with the charges of bri bery against the detectives, but he well understood how officers who did their duty would be abused aud vilified. Since a plea of guilty had been filed by the prisoner he would be as lenient as possible, aud insiead of sending him up for a year, as he was disposed to do, he would impose a fine of SSOO ou him for keeping a gaming house aud S2OO tor gaming.
