Regarding. the case of Garcia JJudge Wu first took up the ques: tion as to whether the latter supplied 161q Bubbling Well Road, {for gambling at any time between i August 1 and October 17, 1928. After dwelling on the question to who leased the premises in question and the sub-leases, Judge Wu held that difference arose on the question of the purpose for which Garcia rented the house, or the use to which the house was being pat during the period of the lease to del Valle, and finally, to the motive of the transfer.
The following] facts, Judge Wa held, were win "LA letter was found in the sate

'The Court did not find it necessary' to subpoena this Jady, whoever she may be, because there. absolutely no. possibility of this being forged, as written, for the purpose of incriminating Garcia. This letter speaks for itself. shows that it was written by person in existence, who was friend of Garcia, and who unde stood, when she wrote that letter, 8 a "wheel" running. at 151¢ Bubbling Road. Of cour she' might have been under a false impression—the possibility is always there, and, it would indeed be illogic~ al if one were to argue deductively, and say: Since she thought that a "wheel" was running, therefore, the "wheel" was actugliy running. Of course, that would not be logical, Dut, in this connection, I must-say that the whole Inw of proof is based upon inductive logie—there can be absolute certainty, The second evidentiary fact is the consumption of electricity. had provee, Judge Wu stated, that the unusually high consumption of electricity in the case of del Valle was the uninterrupted presence of gambling in the evenings, and that is, therefore, highly probable that in Garein's ease, the same phon rmenon was due to the same cause, The frequency and regularity of ordering foodstuffs when del Valle had the house and when Garcia was possession, were practically the same.
'The testimony of Mandel, who stated. that gambling went on at Ale Bubbling Well Road, but wa not certain. whether it' was. in September. or not, the Judge maintained that while the testimony was weak, it was amply corroborated by other evidential facts, Judge Wu held as highly impro. bable the explanation of Garcia that he hnd rented the house for the sol purpose of entertaining friends. that he had certain proposition to pat over.

Bel Valle's explanation that two cheques were made out to a person named "Govern" was not plausible and the judge held that all mears had been taken to conceal Garcia's connections with the how connection, The Prosecution asked M Surgenssen, the cigarette salesman:— time. boy told me that the mana usually came in_very late, and that')
