Excerpt from Gambling Outrages: Or Improving the Breed, of Horses at the Expense of Public Morals

For years the laws against gambling have been openly violated.

Professional gamblers from this and other States have been permitted to go from county to county with their unlawful paraphernalia and ply their schemes of robbery, surrounded by an atmosphere filled with rumors of bribery and corrup tion of officials.

Public sentiment has sustained the enforcement of the laws against these dishonest schemes of getting another's property for nothing in New York and Queens Counties.

For years Kings County has unlawfully afforded gamblers Opportunity to rob the people and has protected them from punishment.
