TO THE PUBLIC
One of the most sensational gambling
cases that has come to light hare in many
months became known today when war
rants were sworn out for the arrest of
Roy Stewert and Sam Endicott.
The "former has been arrested and
pleaded guilty, and was fined $75 today)
by Judge Fitz Gerald. Up to three
o'clock this afternoon Endicott had not
been located by the chief of police.
G. W. Biggers of La Gande, is the
complainant against the two men and
according to his allegations he was rob
bed of $400 by the two men, and was in
line co loose $1000 more.
According to Biggers he sat in a game
of poker at the Rainier beer hall, of which
oMirt is tr.a prepnetcr. Tr.s etr.srs v.
the game wet e Stewart, Endicott and a
stranger whose name Biggers did no
know. Biggers alleges that in the first
game the trio won $400 from him.
But he still had a certificate of $1 000
and they then induced him to try his luck
again in hopes of redeeming his losses.
While the game was on he declares
an extra card was slipped into his hand
by one of the other players who then ac
cused Biggers of cheating.
The gambler then picked up all the
money in the pot, taking also the $1000
certificate of deposit
The certificate of deposit was from a
La Grande bank and since the game, pay
ment has been stopped by Biggers, so he
sa ys.
The cases against Endicott and Stewart
were taken up in the recorder's court by
District Attorney Phelps. Should Big
ger's story be found sustained it is prob
able both men will be indicted in the
circuitcourt for larceny of the $1000
certificate of deposit. Pendleton E. O.
