CASINO LOSSES
WOMAN GAMBLER WORTHLESS CHEQUE CHARGES Said to have got into financial difficulties after gambling losses at Nice Casino, Eve Coradine, aged 32, married, of Hale. Cheshire, described as the daughter of a distinguished Manchester citizen and the wife of a retired Ceylon civil servant, was sent to prison for three months in the second division at Westminster. , , . . She pleaded guilty to obtaining £lO from a London garage by means of a worthless cheque. . Mr W. D. Franklin, her counsel, told Mr Marshall (the magistrate) that Mrs Coradine was staying at Nice last November, and after gambling in the casino there could not pay her hotel bill. _ ~ „ . She told the manager she could get some money if she could go back to England. He lent her £6O to go again to the casino, but she lost that as well. Arriving in England, she passed various cheques in Manchester and Leicester with the idea that she would be able to meet them. Returning to Nice, she paid the hotel manager, and she was arrested on landing at Dover. Full restitution had been made. Had she told her husband or father of the mess she had got into by gamb~ ling at the casino the court would not have been troubled with the case.
