Tua gnast of a fabulous gam-
bling empire which crumbled in
Orange's back yard a dftcade
ago rears its ugly voice \in a
federal, courtroom at New Or-
leans today during the perjury
•trial of Marion J. (Buster) Jojhn-
- son, who operates a nightclub
across the river from Orange.
Th$, government alleges John*
, son lied, when he testified he had
never given Calcasieu , Parish
Sheriff Henry (Ham) Reid a
"payoff."
This sinister voice is a tape
' recording allegedly between a
gambler and a sheriff concern-
ing payoffs. '' .
U.S. Dist.. Judge J. Herbert
Christenherry-. ruled yesterday
he wcuid allow the recording to
be played before the jury hear-
• testimony against Johnson.
—" The judge also ordered .sub-
poenas issued ' for state Dist.
Judge Mark" C.- Mckerel of Lake
Charles and Cameron Parish
Sheriff O. B. Cartel1 to testify in
the trial. ' "—
The order was issued after'
Anthony Niel, former Lake
C.harleg .gambler, denied knowl-
edge of conversations with public
officials involving gambling
.ilpment. *
i Niel said he didn't know any-
thing about an alleged conver-
sation between his son John,
Jtfdge Pickerel" and CartwwNiel
h*d earlier testified that' his son
recorded a conversation con-
ctriring alleged, payoffs by ,John-
son to Reid. He • aid the Conver-
sation took place in .a cafe' at
Oringfe, and was made to "get
even" with Reid for closing
down gambling in the parish.

A multimiiliori - dollar gam-
bling empire flourished in plush
clubs across the Sabjne River

vigorous campaigns by'the Lake

feated in an election. Since 1951
efforts have been made to re-

Niel said he-operated a dice
game from 19,46 to 1949 and later
operated poker games. He said
he hatfltBver made payoffs per-

admitting he had paid off the
sheriff and once had contributed
j $4,600 to Reid's campaign for
re-election. Ni«l quoted Johnson
as saying, "ff you.had all the
money I have given him you

According to the witness the
recordings were made in May
