Officers Catch Gamblers and a Drunk with a Pistol and Whiskey, Dec. 13, 1924

Two Officers Raid Negro “Skin” Game

Sergeant B.W. Sharpe and Constable A.M. Maddry made a customary round through the Hayti section Saturday night, and returned to police headquarters with warrants for John Whitley, Frank Brown, Dan Slade and James Outen, charging them with gambling. The officers also located Rudy Mebane, a negro well known in police circles. He was drunk, carried a .38 calibre pistol and a small amount of whiskey in a 12-ounce bottle. Three charges went down against the negro on the police blotter.
