ADAM OCHS WONDERFUL LUCK How Keno Billy Aspinwall Saved the Bank Roll. er FARO AND ROULETTE Fifteen or sixteen years ago Rum Row, as the block between 13th and 14th streets on E street was euphoniously termed, was as lively a stretch of thoroughfare as an American city afforded. The same theater and hotel and bar rooms that are now lo- cated upon it were there then, and in addi. tion was an assortment of gambling rooms ranging in character from Parker's ele- gant resort, where a remarkable cuisine was one of the attractions, to a plain room further down the street where a few chairs and a faro and a- hazard layout comprised the attractions. Before the time indicated Rum Row was still livelier, and some marvelous winnings and losings are recorded in its thrilling history. Several of the old habitues of the Row, who still hang around it and deplore its departed glamour between invitations to drink, were exchanging reminiscence: “Talking about luck,” said one, me of the time Adam Koch won a bank roll at Jones’ off a split red. You ail re- member how close and crony Adam and old Bill Lunsford were. When one had a stake he'd share it with the other and they would play bank together. “But Bill mighty cranky when he got full, and the night I'm going to tell about he was fuller than usual. He had been down at John Usher's arguing With a f fellows about the battle ot Ball's nd hitting the bottle eve three minutes. Old General Alfred Ple: onton came in and upheid Bill’ war argument and this made him pile in More red liquor, About 11 o'clock the usual fever struck him and he went up to Jones’. He took a hundred worth of reds at a dollar and a quarter apiece and gan to play faro. A Stuke end of the Refused. “Adam Koch came in about Bill had eight s of reds in front him and a stack of blues and was pli dog-gone near every card on the 1: doubles, cases and all. “Adam asked Bill for of re the surpri Lunsfo' ased him. grabbed up a lot of-ch corner of the five There w the box. 11:30 and of ing out, 2 couple of stack of everybo: Pretty so sand put to tak 2 nd four seven plit on the turn. dealing, went to and found there ‘o i only nineteen and put a split red on the Bill cussed a minute becau chips, and then picking off the . to: ed it to Adam, saying: ‘There, you ol Dutchman, si and a half cents is a big enough stake for you.’ Adam took the lit good-naturedly. Get a hole bored in this and wear it on m teh chain,’ he said. "You'd bette y it and win a diamond locket, Adam,’ said Somebody. “‘Well, I'll just take that pointer,’ said Adam, “That deal was ended then and Van was shuffling the cards. When he shoved ‘em in the box Adam put the split in the square en the ace, deuce, king and queen. The king won on the turn, and Van took split and put down a red; then it won gain; then the deuce won; then the queen won twice. Adam let the sixteen chips sit till. The ace hadn't shown yet. There were three deuces in the box and two kings and two queens. Van smiled as he pushed out the last queen, but the smile vanished when the turn came seven-ace. Adam had won again, and hi y-two and a half cents was forty dol rd and cold. AF Can she all go? 4 t the game lar Bet. sked Adam. ou know, was Van nodded.

Ait half-past 1 o'clock Adam was $850 winner, ard Vandegriff gave up his chair to Jim Davis. Lunsford was broke, and claiming half interest in Adam's play and demand- ing a settlement. Adam kept him from get- ting ugly by sending for a quart bottle of champagne every ten migute: Finally Lunsford went to sleep. At 6 o'clock Van- degriff, who had again gone to dealing, cashed $650 worth of chips for Adam, an he quit. He was sixteen hundred winner.” A Reckless Englishman. “I saw another great game up in Ned that Adam Jones’ room one night,” said another one in the crowd, when the first speaker had concluded, “but it wasn’t it was roulette, and ‘Keno Billy’ Aspinwall, poor Jittle fellow, showed more nerve and keen judgment than any gambler I ever saw twirling a ball. A foreigner came in, an Englishman,who was born in Constantinople and reared there. He was a corker; big, handsome as a picture and dressed regard- less, with as many diamonds 4s an actress on him. He wanted to play roulette, and Keno Billy went behind the wheel. The stranger began to play the most reckl game of roulette I ever saw. He started in with blues at fifty dollars a stack and took five stacks. The limit was $10 to a number and $25 to colors and $12.50 to columns. He lost the first a hurr and took $500 worth mo: ing yellows at $5 apiece. He lost that and took a other $500 worth. Then he began to win. T never saw anything like it. ry time the ball stopped it seemed to roll into a number he had covered. He won out all the chips in the roulette rack. “Billy sent over to the odd faro tabl there were two, you know, in Joni e there was no gam2 suing on and got the rack of chips. The player didn’t make ny move to cash in any chips, and you »t Billy wasn’t anxious for him to. Now, mind you, every chip was going at five dol- lars, whites, reds, bives, and, of course, yel- ws. That English-Turk kept winning adily until only two stack3 of chips were left in that faro rack. He easily had 310,000 in front of him. If he'd cashed he'd bave smashed th? bank into smithereens. Ned Jones was neryous and Vandegriff was pretty near having a fiz. Keno Billy was cool and imperturbable. He cracked jokes with the stranger and the onloo The player called for a brandy. The hoy E es inost of his} w. brought him an ordinary drink, and he de- manded another. Then he called for anoth- er. Billy’s ey2s twinkled. A fourtn and a fifth brandy followed and the Engiishman began to put stacks on numpers. No Question of Limit. “Pilly never said a word about limit. He twirled for $100 on a number that meant $3,500 to the player if it came just the same as h3 would if it had been a quarter, and there'd be five or six numbers and the single and double zero covered every whirl. “Phe English-Turk kept drinking brandy. Pretty soon Billy sant the rack of faro chips back te their proper place. A little while afterward he had all the roulette chips back in the rack.
