Event Details
The police made a descent on a clandestine gambling house kept by a female who calls herself Mme. de Marseilles. The apartment, most sumptuously fitted up, was frequented by the ladies of the demi-monde, actresses of the minor theaters, whose presence attracted young men of family, foreigners, and others, who were made the prey of greeks and professed gamblers. When the police entered the place a large party were assembled and, being thus taken in flagrante delicto, the lady of the house was arrested, and the stakes and all the furniture in the room seized.
