Burns Devices
Worth $20,000
? Dunn. Nov. 26. ? Slot machines
valued at more than $20,000 went
up In smoke In the Harnett Coun
ty courtyard yesterday afternoon,
bringing to a close the biggest
war on gambling In the history
of the county.
Destruction of the elaborate
gaming devices by Sheriff W. E.
Salmon was ordered by Judge
Walter J. Bone following the con
viction of 24 defendants in the
Superior Court.
Each of the defendants, who
pleaded guilty, werje given -90 j
days, suspended for two years on
payment of $25 fine and costs.
Four other defendants will be
tried later.
Members of the grand jury
which brought the wholesale "In
dictment were among the hund
reds of people who watched Sher
iff Salmon and his Tieputies tear
up and burn the machines.
Machines were emptied of pro
ceeds before being torn up and
netted slightly more than $200.
Under the law, the"*arresting of
ficer receives half and the wel
fare department the other half. .
Sheriff Salmon delivered Miss
Lillle Davis, county welfare offi
cer, q check for more than $100.
A larger yield from the machines
was expected, but they had evi- i
dently been emptied on the eve <
of seizure by the officer?.
The machines were placed in ,
piles by the deputies and smash
ed into tiny pieces, and then burn- ,
ed. Some of the pin tables and
one-armed bandit machines were
elaborate devices, valued as high
as $550 each.
Judge Bone ruted all of the ma
chines now in operation were il
legal and expressed belief all oth
ers in the State were also Just as
Illegal. He advised that any oth
ers now in operation in Harnett
be removed immediately.
