ANOTHER POSSIBLE
April 1908 Fort Collins, Colorado "A jury in the county court yesterday
afternoon returned a verdict of guilty against Frank Larimer,
Hank Wilson, W. H. Hart and Peter Nelson on the charge of
gambling, and a fine of $15 was assessed in each case.
The jury was out about twenty minutes.
The men had been convicted in Magistrate Cooper's court,
where they introduced no defense, taking an appeal to the
county court. The trial lasted all afternoon.
The defendants denied that they had been gambling.
They were caught by Marshal Ryckman and his force in a
room in the Milwaukee house on Jefferson street.
The marshal came in through a window, much to the surprise
of the gamblers, who, in their excitement,
scattered money and cards on the floor.
In their defense they claimed that the money, $ 1.30,
dropped from the pocket of one of their number,
who was trying to pull a knife out of his pocket to
open a bottle of whiskey, when the marshal's
appearance startled him.
City Attorney Lee handled the prosecution
and W. B. Lymer and T. J. Leftwich conducted
the defense."
