Chief of Police Wants to Exeonto tho Ono
Ho Recently Captured.
ITS OWNER SECURES NEW LEASE OF LIFE

from Hit Ax of Hip Poller
Drpnrtini'iit.
The slot machine seized by the pollco III
Mergen's Main street saloon has secured
another lease of life and Sergeant Slack
has not yet had the satisfaction of'npply
lug the ax to It. Judgo Aylesworlh had
set yesterday ns the date for determining
its disposition, but when tho enso was
called In police court tho attorney for II.
A. McAllister, who claims ownership of tho
machine, took n chnngo of ventto to the
court of Justlco VIen. This was opposed
by Chief Albro on tho grounds that tho
enso had nlroady been partially heard In
tho police court and that it wns therefore
too lato in tho day to transfer it to nn
othcr court. Judgo Aylesworlh, however,
decided ngalnst tho chief and granted tho
change of venue.
Au amusing feature of tho proceedings
was that Paul C. Aylesworlh, who happens
to bo hon of tho police Judge, gave an his
reasons for tho desired change of venue
that his father, the Judge of the pollco nnd
superior courts, was prejudiced against the
defendant, namely, tho slut machine, nnd
was on most Intimate terms of friendship
with Chief of Police Albro, the prosecuting
witness In tho case. That the court did
not order tho machine destroyed proved n
enro disappointment to tho police mil
Chief Albro says ho Is determined that It
shall he confiscated if the law will permit
him. If Justlco VIen holds that It should
bo returned to Mergen, it will bo ticlzed
again. McAllister, on the other hand,
through his nttorney, threatens that if tho
machine is confiscated ho will at onco tnke
tho proper steps to run every nlckcl-ln-thc-slot
machine out of tho city. Justlco VIen
will hear tho case next Thursday.
