313,000 THE PRICE OF MAKING MISTAKE Richardson Said to Have Played| Crooked—Trimmed at Races That Former Detective Sergeant A. J. Richardson, now being held in the Hartford County jail on a charge in- volving the harboring of a stolen au- tomobile was mixed up in a gang of crooked race promoters and was trim- med to the tune of $15,000 one time when he double crossed the gang, is the statement now being mado by those who claim they were in on the know. The story is to the effect that there are four horse jockeys in New York city, whose duty it to select one winner each day the races are on. If they select a sure winner, all is well, but if they cannot select a sure winner, then it is their duty to “fix the race.” A Herald informant states that there is “hardly a town in the state but has one policeman on the gang,” this insures them a certain amount of protection. Instructions how to bet are sent from one town to the other by a system of relay messages. It is known that Richardson one time re- ceived a number of mysterious tele- grams here and thewe telegrams now are thought to have been code. When interviewed a few days be- fore his arrest concerning his alleged horse race gambling, Richardson ad- mitted to a Herald representative that he had cleaned up a considerable amount, but begged that this be not published.

THE YANKS’ SECRET ROOM fans 2ipp, O’Leary, Coach Frank protruding object could inflict in an accident of this kind. The Renaldino “murder” is also significant in a good many phases. The fact that the gun alleged to have been found in the hands of the dead young man by Richardson, which was not there when state police arrived, is dis- nection with the case as it stood at that time, his request was granted. Story of Gambling. The story goes on to say that Rich- ardson in some manner tried to double cross the gang one day, with the re- sult that he was trapped by a fake tip and paid $15,000 for his lesson. Richardson and a few friends in neighboring cities cleaned up $48,000 in one killing on tips sent out by this ‘same gang, it is said. The cleanup is said to have been made on races at Toronto in October, 1919. It is said thé telephonme bill for this ring of book-makers amounted to from $7,000 to $8,000 a month Richardson also is said to have re- ceived considerable money from the Giardino brothers at the Grand Hotel for protection. It is said he took his pay one time in checks which were written on check blanks printed for a prominent hotel near Savbrook. At another time he is said to have re- ceived pay in liquor, valued at $15 a gallon which he later disposed of at puted because of the known medical fact that, had Renaldino died with the gun ia his hands, his fingers would have become so stiffened that it would have been necessary to pry them lose. Sounds of a quarrel, witnesses who saw two cars together, the handker- chief over the dead man's mouth, blood stains on, the grass some dis- tance away, three empty shells in the gun and only one bullet in the body of the victim, all point to a “manu- factured” suicide theory. Friendship With “Jake.” Another feature of the case which local peoole are inclined to feel is strong evidence against the accused :x-official Is his well known friend- ship for Jake Winkle, said to be a rum runner. While all the fire of criticism, charges, accusations and in- sinuations were directed against the pair, Richardson made several state- ments that Jake Winkle was a “darned good fellow.” The same thing from Winkle, to the effect that he believed his uncle was murdered, $40 or $50 a gallon. “Confession” Up Again. That the deposed deteciiyg sergeant knew what happened to Touis Winkle, and that the Kallgowski confession was a'deliberate oM whicll Wi framed) with the knowled#é of Richardson, is the widespread belief in the city. How a man, drunk or Sober could fall down 16 steps without sustaining any bruises “ or bumps except immediately on top of the head is something no one can understand. Physicians who perform- ed the autopsy are reluctant to admit th=: such was possible. The story that Winkle was drunk in the morning is disproven by witnesses who swear they raw him that aiternoonpertectly sober. } Another sigpificant fact about the Winkle mystery is that the dying man is supposed to have lain in a sub cel- lar in the front of the building, im- mediately under the sidewalk and in such a location that groans could be heard outside. The failure to send for a doctor or notify the hospital immediately after the alleged fall is explained by the knowledge that men with fractured skulls have been known to recover and had he been able to tell the story, the deceased man might have said something far different than the wild e of fracturing a skull by a fall down a flight of not too steep stairs, landing on a perfectly flat ce- ment bottom, an injury that only a Clark’s 18th Cruise Feb. 1ith, 1922 to the ~ MEDITERRANEAN EGYPT & EUROPE Dy specially chartered Canadlan superb steamer EMPRESS of FRANCE ) 18,481 Gross Tons 74 DAYS FIRST CLASS, $600 and up Including hotels, drives:. m Routes; New York, Canary Island Lisbon, Cadiz, Seville (Granada) Alylers, Genoa, Leghorn, Plsa, Athens; Constantinople, 13 days ard Palestine, Monte Carlo, pool, Quebec, R.

Mr. Richardson ex- plened his friendship with Jake by tellng of how Jake always had a car reaty to drive a member of the po- lice department to New Haven or any jlace when' it was necessary. But the ®rgeant did not mention why it helpe to make him any more inti- mate vith Winkle than it did any of the otiers. No one has linked the name f Chief Rawlings with any crooked work. So far as The Herald has ben able to ascertain, there never ls been a breath of sus- picion aainst the chief, yet he_had as muchor more reason to feel grate- ful for mvors to the police depart- ment tha Richardson. Neither has anyone c@nected the names of Cap- tain Grac, Lieutenant Bamforth or Sergeant Fart with anything crooked, yet if Wikle befriended the entire department by -tendering the use of his car, thee mén had just as much right to fee grateful as Richardson. Neither is- tiere any known record of a vote of thanks being given by the board ofpolice commissioners. A statemen that Miss Gladys An- drews was intmate with Winkle and that she used her car for rum run- ning has been.denied in an out of town papér bythat young lady.

The pugi- listic team which was organized six vears ago, was declared dissolved yes- terday by Mead, following a confer- ence with Lynch. Mead attributed the breaking off of relations between himself and Lynch to the boxer’s refusal to consent to a wriiten, signed contract between them, as is demanded by the State Athletic Commission, in determining the business relationship between boxer and manager. Mead said he hai never had a contract with Lynch, a legal document being unnecessary be- fore the adoption of the rule. The Hudson's Bay Company is es- tablishing posts in northern Siberia.
