COURT UPHOLDS RAID ON CLUB Rules Police Did Not Need Search Warrant. Reversing a ruling made a few days ago. Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth Monday afternoon, ruled that it was not necessary for police to have a search warrant to raid a chartered club and arrest alleged gamblers.

Lesser was fined $lO and costs and sentenced to serve ten days in jail on the charge of keeping a gambling house.
