J Whereupon to pursue the further prose
j cation of poolroom gamblers, as well as
ajny other persons who conduct establlsh
t ments wherein games of chance or bet-
tlnit on races Is carried on.
Judge George's opinion follows:
This indictment charges . the defend
ant with the crime of wilfully and
wrongfully committing an act which
grossly disturbs the public peace and
openly outrages the public decency and
t injurious to public morals.
Sec. 13 of Bell. & Cot. Comp. pro
vides for the punishment of any person
Who shall "wilfully and wrongfully com
mit any act which grossly
;! disturbs the public peace or
; ) Which openly outrages the public de-
V cency and Is Injurious to publlo morals."
a?-' The specific charge against the de-
; fendant Is that he did "for gain habltu-
- ally sell pools upon norse races ana
habitually procure Idle and evil disposed
' persona to come to his house to buy
i pools and to bet upon horse races
to
1 the common nuisance and annoyance of
ill aood cltlsens." This Is equivalent
: ml in nharrlnf the defendant With
keeping a gaming houae under the au
thorities but charges also resultant ef
fects to the public peace of Use acts.
Generally criminal statutes mention
certain apeclnc acts stating them par
ticularly aa constituting a crime. Wnen
.wilfully committed, and also gives the
rlme a name. This statute Is an ex
ception. It merely undertakes to pro
vide that any act which grossly dis
turbs the public peace or which openly
outrages the public decency and la in
jurious to public morals, is a crime leav
ing the particular acts to be described
by the Indictment, defined by the court
and found by a Jury, andTBWthis stat
ute does not give any name to the crime.
In these respects it differs from crim
inal statutes generally.
Overt Act Alleged.
To constitute a crime there must be
some overt act or overt resulting act,
nd there may be various ways snd man--Siers
in which such overt act, or acts,
tamay be committed. The overt act al
Lasged In this Indictment, as the court
reads It. Is In effect that the defendant
has maintained a public gaming bouse

ment puts It. the defendant for gain

iVhat Sulphur Does
or the Human Body In Health sad
' The mention of sulphur will recall to
. many of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
.daily (lose of sulphur and molasses ev-
1 wry spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
"blood purifier." tonic and cure-all, and
mind you, this old-fashioned remed
Was not without merit.
V. The Idea was good, but the remedy
was crude snd unpalatable, and a large
quantity had to be taken to get any
Effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
fleets of sulphur in a palatable, con
centrated form, so that a single grain
' m far more effective than a tablespoon
: gul of the crude sulphur.
f In recent years, research and experi
ment have proven that the best sul-
?bur tor medicinal use Is that obtained
rom Calcium (Calcium Sulphide) aad
Sold In drug stores under the name of
Stuart's CaMum Wafers. They are

twin the active medicinal principle of

tive form."
" Fsw people are aware of the value of
this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health,
Sulphur acts directly on the liver, and
isxcretory organs and purines and en
Tlches the blood hv the prompt elimina
tion of waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall, but the crudity
Snd impurity of ordinary flowers of sul
phur were often worse than the disease
and cannot compare with the modern
concentrated preparations of sulphur
of which Stuarts CaMum Wafers Is
undoubtedly the best and most widely
used.
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con
stipation and purify the blood In a way
that often surprises patient and physi
cian alike.
Dr. R M Wllklna while experiment
ing with sulphur remedies sosn found
thst the sulphur from Calcium was an
perlor lo any other form. He says
''For liver, kidney and blood troubles,
especially when resulting from const!
pat Ion or malaria I have been surprised
at the result obtained from Stuart's
Calcium Wafers. In patients suffering
from bolls and pimples and even deeu
asated carbuncles, I have repeatedly
a a en them dry up and disappear In four
or Ave days, leaving the sain clear and
smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium
Wafers la a proprietary article, and
sold by druggists, snd for that reason
tabooed by many physicians, vet I know
of nothing so safe and reliable for con
stipation, liver and kidney troubles and
specially in all forms of skin disease
as this remedy."
At any rate, people who are tired of
Ills, cathartics snd so-called blood
puilners. will find in Stuart's t'alrlum
Wafers, a far safer, more palatable and
nwjUve preparation.
to buy pools and to bet upon horse

The question before the court now on

who for gain habitually sells pools upon
horse races, and for gain habitually
procures idle and avlt disposed persona
to come to nis nouss 10 Duy pools ana
to bet on horse races to the common

Jury on the trial, this court thinks

be a question to be left to the Jury on
the trial to determine,
Oamlng Mouses Tempt to Idleness.
As defendsnt In his argument and
fbrlef has conceded. It Is well settled that
where a statute employs words as do
scrtptlve of offenses that had a settled
meaning at common law, they will be
accorded the same meaning In the atat
ute; quoting both Endllrh and Suther
land on statutory conatruction. It li
also a correct principle that In the con
Struction of statutes, courts will be
aided so far as Is applicable, by the
courses, tendencies and principles of
the common law and common law de.
clslona.
Common gsming houses were at com
mon law Indictable aa a nuisance, not so
much because of any particular descrip
tion of crime committed within their
walls, but even "because they are temp
tatton to Idleness and because they are
apt to draw together great numbers- of
disorderly persons."
Hawk's PI. Cr.. Book 1. Chap. 76
Sec. .
And In this Indictment It la alleged
that such has occurred the "actual dis
turbance" which defendant contends
Sec. 1110 means.
It Is conceded also that the act
charged In the Indictment was an In
dictable nuisance at common law. Oam
lng houses were Indictable, not only
when "actual disturbances" occurred,
but also when "actual disturbances" did
not really occur, almply because of the
Inherent tendency. In themselves, of
gaming houses to so operate. This In
dictment does not stop with any mere
natural tendency of such houses to pro
duce disorder, but goes on and alleges
that Idle and evil disposed persons ha
bitually came to the house at defend
ant's procurement and bought pools snd
made beta on horse races and all to the
common nuisance and annoyance of all
good cltlsens, and If a Jury should And
such alleged 'actual disturbances"
nd "disorderly" conduct occurred In
fact, then In law It was sn set grossly
disturbing the public peace, under a long
line of decisions and authorities. No
matter how quiet and orderly a gaming
house was. It was still a public and in
dictable nuisance at common law, and
even Its evil tendencies alone were
enough to establish Its status.
See State vs. Layman. 6 Har. (10,
cited In defendant's brief. (
Oamlng Bowses Indictable Hulsance.
It Is claimed that in thla indictment
no actual disturbance of the public peace
Is charged; but can this Indeed be true?
The indictment plainly charges the de
fendant with maintaining a common
gaming house, which act constituted a
disorderly act at common law. and It
goea on and charges what. If so found.
Is tantamount In law to actual disorder
resulting. It Is expressly conceded by
the defendant, both In argument and in
briefs, that thla Indictment chargea an
Indictable nuisance at common law. It
Is also expressly conceded that main
taining a gaming house Is sn Indictable
nuisance at common law, not because of
any actually committed offense of In
citing actual disturbance of the peace, as
committing vice or Immorality or crime,
but simply because of the Inherent
tendency of such placea to lead to these
results, and such evil tendency even
msde It ah lndjctahla nuisance, per se.
No actual Yfsturbances or other bad re
sults were rsslly necessary. Such being
conceded, It is not going much further
to hold that If actual disturbance, ac
cording to common law meaning. Is al
leged, that a crime has been charged.
Poolrooms Clearing House of Oamblers
Thts much of the common law on the
subject of public nuisance, this court
holds, ss set forth In the Indictment, Is
Included In our statute, section 1,9X0, In
both Its letter and Its spirit. The courts
of thts state though no common law
crimes are here punlahable unless made
so by statute in construing our stat
utes, are not unmindful of the changing
forms, but not of substance of gaming
and gaming houses and of the rapidly
growing prevalence of the new form of
race-horse hand book gambling, not
merely at race-tracks, but even thou
sands of miles distant, and In the very
center of business and population and at
the very door-steps of the homes of the
people of this nation generally. The
maintenance of such public houses. In
the nsture of clearance houses for gam
ing. If resulting as the Indictment
chargea. Is certainly much more a dis
turbance of the public peace than any
mere sending of challenges, or of going
srmed to the alarm of the public, or
other acta of a similar character which
repeatedly have been so held by the au
thorities ss constitutes a breach or dls
turbance of the public peace and wel
