...recover his money; 2) if a loser does not sue within six months, "any person" can sue the winner for three times the loser's losses, the county taking one-half of the sum recovered. Last week's suit, brought by a Mrs. Libbie Maxwell against "Big Bill" Johnson & four associates, declared that her son-in-law, Herman Van Spankeren Jr., lost $15,000 of hers over a period of seven months in the D & D Club, Horseshoe Club, Harlem Stables and Devlin Club...
