SUCKER SKINNING LUCRATIVE TRADE

Method Employed in Fake Wrestling Matches Exposed at a Trial. INSIDE WORKINGS SHOWN BLADDER FULL OF BLOOD BURSTS INSIDE THE WRESTLER'S MOUTH AND SUCKER LOSES A "SURE THING" BET. Council Bluffs, Iowa. March 11. Details of the inside workings of the gang of swindlers, alleged to have been headed by John C. Mabray, who separated many wealthy sportsmen and farmers throughout the country from their bank rolls by means of fake athletic contests, were told at the trial of Mabray, and others yesterday by three of the members, who turned state's evidence. The men were Thomas Gay, indicted with Mabray; James Coon, of Owosso, Mich., and Ernest Fenby, a professional wrestler, whose home is in Shepherd, Mich., (both of the latter admitted being "steerers") and A. E. Nelson a victim of the swindling operations. The alleged operations of Mabray and his associates, known as the "Mil lionaire Club," in New Orleans, Den ver and Council Bluffs, was told with a regard to detail which indicated the leaders of the "club" to have an organization never before equaled in this country. No Chance to Lose. The "sporting events" arranged and carried through by these men, according to the witnesses, were so well plan ned that there was not the remotest chance for the victim to escape, and his losses ran from $2,000 to 57.000, according to the ability and willingness of the victims to contribute to the fund. Gay, the first witness called, said he first met Mabray in New Orleans. Mabray being at that time associated with R, B. Harriman and Frank W. Brown, who are now fighting extradition in Los Angeles. Gay lived at Streator, 111., where he had been a professional wrestler, and. according to his testimony, he induced James Tierney, of that city, to go to New Orleans and bet on a "sure-thing" wrestling match in January, 190S. He testified that Tierney lost $10,000, of which he (Gay) received $2,500. Suckers Handled With Care. He told in detail of the system em ployed to secure victims and of how they were handled from the time they were first "interviewed," until sent to their home penniless. He also told of being one of the wrestlers in a match in which a lumberman of St. Paul, named Shull, lost $2,000. Ernest Fenby, of Shepherd, Mich., another professional wrestler, who was defeated at Detroit, a few nights ago, by Zyscko, the Pole, was a star government witness. He received letters from Council Bluffs, the authorship of which he testified Mabray later ad mitted to him, giving him full explanation on fixed wrestling matches and horse races. He, with James Coon, a neighbor, undertook to "steer" some friends and were successful in landing three, from whom $14,000 was taken on wrestling matches. Tricks of the Trade. He explained how a bladder full of blood was bursted in his opponent's mouth at a critical moment, when the latter would roll over and assume a dying condition. This was the ruse to break up the match, and everybody scattered to prevent arrest. He testified to having worked the trick three times. Coon later went on the stand and confirmed Fenby's testimony in every detail. Coon is employed by a sugar beet company at Owosso, Mich., and said he was first approached as an accomplice while husking corn near Alma, Mich., was a victim to the extent of $3,000, and he told how it all happened. He started out for "a bit of sport" and ended up without a cent. Ocean Waves. The longest sea wave ever measured by the hydrograpbic office was half a mile in length. 15c DOZ.

While the manifestants fired fusilades the fugitives hid under the seats and the car was rushed through the heart of the mob to the quarters arranged for the strikebreakers. Few Answered the Fire. A few of the newcomers answered the fire of the crowd, firing blindly, without daring to raise their heads to view. A bullet pierced the helmet of a policeman who started to rise from the close packed group of men on the tioor and seats of the car. The police reserves from all over the city were called out and attacked the mob, which finally dispersed. There were many individual clashes after the riot, however, sporadic fighting occurring on the streets till dawn. Then the crowds again began to gather about the car barns. General Manager Peter E. Hurley of the Trenton Street railway last night announced that no attempt to run cars would be made, but Mafjr Madden immediately demanded a service under penalty of $."X forfeit for each hour in which no cars were run: Bad Beginnings.
