Thank you Pam.
Pam sent me a page from Dwayne Kling's "The Rise of the Biggest Little City" concerning Walter Pechart Al Moe also mentions Walter Pechart in his book "Roots of Reno".

Walter Pechart shows back up in Reno, NV.

Nevada State Journal.

Short Version:

Pechart had several run in’s with authorities including The Estes Kefauver Crime Commission 1950. He was held in contempt for refusing to answer questions about gambling in several California cities. He was also involved with a shooting in Las Vegas during the Boulder Dam construction days.

March 1955- Pechart is hired by Charles Mapes as credit manager to watch his money at Mapes Casino.

The State Of Nevada said Mapes could have the license only if Pechart was gone. I guess they had the 1930 arrest record.
They later relented and allowed Pechart to work for Mapes as the credit manager but he was not allowed to enter the pit gaming area or count rooms.

In 1963 the state relented further and allowed Pechart to become Casino Manager.

In September 1965 Pechart had a heart attack and died while on duty as casino manager at the Mapes.

It looks like Pechart operated illegal from the 1920’s thru 1955. He then made an attempt at going legal.
