THREE-CARD MONTE KING

DEATH OF LOU HOIK RECALLS AX ADYEXTl'HOl'S CAIIECR. A ConnersTillc Man Who Skinned' the Prince of Wale in a Poker flame. The recently reported death of Lew Houk, In Durango, Mexico, recalls the career cf a man who was known the world over as "the three-card monte king." His wanderings carried him over all the world. He waa charged with murder, relentlessly followed by detectives, taken across the continent for trial, an attempt of friends to rescue him was foiled, he served In the penitentiary, was paroled, rardoned, was a member of some of the ultra fashionable clubs of this and other countries, gambled with the Trlnce of Wales and finally died far away from his family and friends. Houk was a native of ConnervllIe, thl3 State, and he was born and raised in a Christian family. His correct namo was LuthT E. Houk, but he was better known as Newt Houk or Lou Houk. It was under the latter name that he served his term In the penitentiary. Particularly In the West he was well known as "Doc Davis" and sometimes as "Doc Green." Houk' family surrounded his early life with every Influence which would have tended to develop the better qualities of his nature, but he early developed a roving disposition and soon became an expert with cards. Ho plied his trade and rapidly became the most feared and roost expert man in three-card monte In the country. He never got Into trouble until he was going from Toledo to Columbus, O., on a Hocking Valley train. He End a confederate had Inveigled a traveling man, Paul Lohman, into a game of cards and as the train neared Delaware, O., Lohman saw he was being fleeced and made a grab for his money. In the struggle which followed Lohman was shot. He died within an hour or two after the shooting. Houk ran from the car and leaped from the moving train at the first street crossing. An attempt was made to stop the train, but just off from the street crossing there was a long and high trestle at the other end of which wa tho station. The confederate also rushed to the car door, but by the time he reached the platform the train was on this trestle and it was too high to risk a leap. He was stlzed by the train crew and as the train pulled into the station he was turned ever to a policeman. The confederate contended that Houk had fired the shot and h? was convicted of a minor offense only and served less than two years in the penitentiary. Before Houk was recaptured Us confederate died. ESCAPED TO FOREIGN SHORES. After leaping from the train at the street crossing, Houk made his way across the city to the station of the Big Four and there boarded a north-bound train which bad just pulled in. On It he escaped to Cleveland and from there to Canada. A large reward for his capture was offered by the commissioners of Delaware county and many detectives took up the scent, but it was John T. Norrls who persisted in the trail and finally captured him two years later. From Canada Houk went to Antwerp and remained In Belgium and Holland for some time. No extradition treaty was In effect between these countries and the United States at that time, and Houk remained in those countries. He next went to the countries of North Africa and remained for Fome months in Tunis. Algiers and Morocco. From Africa he went to South America and gradually worked his way up the Isthmus, through Mexico and Lower California until he grew bold and, though always remaining near tha line, frequently crossed over Into the United States. Norris never lost fight of him and he went to southern California. determined to capture him. He learned of the town Houk was accustomed to visit and went there to meet him. Houk was surrounded by many friend, for 'he had charming manners, and his friends were loyal. Norris was standing by the. window In a telegraph office when one of. Houk's friends entered and wrote a telegram. When the message was clicked off, Norris read it, as he understands telegraphy. The message which wa sent over the wire was to a town but a few mil. away and was sent to "Doc Davis." K read, "Look out. Ohio is here." The message had scarcely been sent when Norris stepped up to the window and said: "Where did I send that message?" The operator told him and Norris quickly said: "I have made a mistake in the address. It should go to and he named another town. The message was recalled and sent to the town Norils named, while he went post haste to the town in which Houk was and arrested him. Houk was too surprised to make resistance and he accompanied the officer peaceably. On the way East u party of Houk'si friends determined to hold the train up and rescue him. This came to the cars of the officers in charge of him and they left the train on which they were traveling and took a special of an engine and one car. A half hour before the regular train passed the selected point the special dashed past and was not interfered with. The regular train was stopped and a thorough search made for Houk. but he was miles beyond. HIS TRIAL) A NOTED ONE. Houk's trial was one of the greatest criminal battles of central Ohio. The trial occupied several weeiis and Houk had the benefit of the best criminal talent money could secure. He seemed to have an unlimited amount of money, and among his many attorneys were Major Blackburn, of Cincinnati, and T. E. Powell, one of the Democratic candidates for Governor of Ohio, who was defeated by Governor, now senator, Foraker. His wife stood by him and was with him every day in the courtroom. He was convicted of manslaughter and in 1W3 was sentenced to sixteen years In the Qhlo penitentiary. His wife at once took up her residence in Columbus and went to work to secure his release. Although she had the opposition of the judge who presided at the trial, of the prosecuting attorney, of the Jurors and all connected with the trial, she succeeded in bringing enough influence to bear to secure a parole for him after he had served seven years in rrison. Houk's first act after his release was to go to Delaware and call on the Judge who had sentenced him and for whom he had great admiration. He lived in Ohio for a year and was prevented, under the terms of his parole, from leaving the State. Then, under the plea of having an opportunity to engage in the lumber business in this State, he secured a full pardon on tho promise of good behavior. He came to this State for a time, but the old inclination to rove overcame him and he again started out. SPOKE FIVE LANGUAGES. He was an accomplished linguist and spoke five languages fluently. He could carry cn a conversation in Hebrew, and it was a favorite trick of his to assume- the character of a Jew. He abandoned threecard monte and gave his attention to poker. His good address gained him membership in the Fifth-avenue Club, of New York, where he proved an expensive member to hU new friends. He was successful there and drifted West through this country and tinally wound up in the City of Mexico. There was elected to membership In the Jockey Club, where he again had great success. He decided to tour the world and went to South Africa ar.d spent some time at t'ape Town, where he became a member of the Royal Club, and from there he went to Johannesburg, where ho was elected to membership in the Wanderers' Club, the ultra-fashionable club of that part of the country. After he tired of that part of tho world, he went to London and became a member of the famous Grosvenor Club. It was whi!o on this trip to London that he met the member of the Prince of Wales's set and it was his particular dclignt to tell how he got the princo himself at his mercy In a game of poker and "skinned him." It was one. of Houk's boasts that he never played poker or took money from anyone who was not able to lose it. He said he had never taken a cent frm a wife, widow or children. While traveling ever the world rn hi lakt trip he went under the name of I Erricson Houk. his right name. Ho returned to this country from England and one more went to Mexico, where ho died. His wife Mill live at Columbu. o.. and his three sisters, Mrs. Fayette Martin, of

Richmond. Mrs. M. W. Phllebaum and Mips Maggio Houk, of Richmond, survive him. WORE BOOKWALTER PICTURES

Street-Car Men Assaulted In a Saloon. A saloon near the Democratic committee rooms which is a lounging place for the "heelers" who are fortunate enough to obtain money from the committee was the scene of a disgraceful brawl last night. Two stroet-car employes who had stepped Into the place and who were wearing button pictures of Mr. Bookwalter were made the object of the jeers of the "heelers." The street-car men remonstrated with the bartender for the manner In which they were being treated, but that Individual took sides with his fellow-Democrats and quickly planted several blows on the faces of the street-car men and had the rest of the crowd assist him in throwing them Into the street.

SUFFERED AWFUL BURNS

HAHRV IIEXSIIAW, A TOSTOFFICB EMPLOYE, BADLY Bl'RXED. He Is In a Critical Condition as the Result of a Gasoline Explosion. Harry A. Henshaw, an engineer living at 923 South Meridian street, while assisting in the repair of the steam pipes in the postoffico building, was severely and perhaps fatally burned about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the explosion of a small hand torch used to . soften the packing in the joints. He was working behind tho boiler with the torch, which has a tank containing gasoline and a small air pump used to increase tho heat. He had placed the torch on top , of the boiler and was engaged in other, work for a few moments, during which the blar.e was in some manner extinguished. James Walton, the engineer, called attention 'to the fact, and Henshaw climbed on a step ladder and struck a match to light the torch. Instantly an explosion occurred. The tank containing the gasoline burst and Henshaw was covered with the fluid, which immediately took fire. He was afire from head to foot and fell from the ladder to the floor, which was covered with oil, and which also took fire. His cries brought the engineer and other employes to the scene, and the suffering man, his hair, face, arms and clothing ail ablaze, was carried to the front of the room, where efforts were made to extinguish the flames by smothering them with old clothing. The blaze was so fierce that the garments were burned to pieces almost as fast as they could be procured. Finally an old mackintosh was found and the fire put out. but not until Henshaw's hair had been burned off and the flesh on his face, arms and back frightfully burned. Physicians were called and temporary relief was given. Henshaw was taken to the City Hospital by Dr. Todd, of the City Dispensary. Late last night hospital physicians said they could not yet tell whether or not he would recover. Henshaw has no family. Engineer Walton, while trying to extinguish the flames, was quite severely burned on both hands and arms. Thought to Be MIs. Woodland's Body. Dispatches from New Orleans indicate that the body of another victim of the Paul Jones disaster, In which Miss Florence Taggart, daughter of Mayor Taggart, lost her life, has been found on one of the Timbalter islands. The well-preserved body of a young woman, thought to be that of Miss Woexiland, of Chicago, or Ml?s Yoakum, of St. Louis, was found by a shrimp lugger captain not far from the spot where the compass of the ill-fated yacht was found. F. B. .Woodland, of Chicago, father of one of the missing girls, doubts that the body Is that of his daughter, but will attempt an Identification. Three Artists Coining:. The series of concerts to be given this winter by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra are to bo ' augmented by three noted artists, contracts with whom have just been closed by Richard Boone McKce. business manager; of , the orchestra.

It was said at the Weather Bureau that the frost did little harm, because the crops arc nearly all In. with the exception of tomatoes, and that thin crop was net seriously Injured because tho frost was not a kllier." The Weather Bureau promises that the warmer weather will repair the damage done fcv the frost. The frcst was general over the State. Sufferers from hay fever uttered blessings for the re lit f the frcst brought them. . Ordered to Report for Duty. P.. F. Limb, of this city, superintendent of mails at Santiago.
