Told out of court; personal experiences of members of the Chicago Bench and bar . ng dice at a dollar a throw whenPatterson comes along and wants to get into the game. Wehad our dollar apiece down, but he only puts down six bits,and when we told him he couldnt play unless he made ita dollar he grabs the whole two dollars and seventy-fivecents and puts it in his pocket, and laughs at us.
