'. " Allen said he talked to "Bush" Ready, a faro dealer, who aald that Van Au ker was a fanatical player and nlayed with great: rapidity. Ready also told the surety company representative that in ail his experience he nad, never seen a player like Van Auker. This, and many other' facts. " he said. and ' the Information that - the cashier waa re ceiving but $80 a month, led htm to "be lieve that Van Auker himself was guilty. After the Investigation was com plete he swore to the complaint, first having conferred with his brother, Har rison Allen, then district attorney at Astoria, Just before the noon recess the de fense finished with Mr. Allen and turned him over to the attorneys for the plain tiff.
