Before @ score or more of interest- ed spectators, In the office of Agsiatant Wstrict Attorney Jamoa O'Malley, William Edes, alias “Doc,” @ gray bearded, well Greased, ministerial look: ing gambler, to-day made good bis boast to take $5,000 in faro chips from two complainants against Frank T. Thompson, alleged successor of the Gondorf brothers, in forty-five min- utes, by use of a crooked deal box. Both the players were rid of their chips in less than half an hour and then Doo sides explained the working ot the box, how ho knew each card by private marke on tts back, as it ap- peared on the top of the deck and how he could throw {t back in the box and draw out the next lower card if it was for the tnterest of the bank to do 60. Agaistant District Attorney O'Mal- ley was the only new actor to the drama. Both the players had faced Edes as dealer before in Thompson's gambling houses. One of them, Henry Gallant, a St, Louis pawnbroker, lost almost $60,000 In four years, through trying to break Thompson, who they “harles Cherry, the owner al Cluo, which ted for $30,000,000, according to pamphlets the gang put out. Arthur Lowy, a moving picture operator of Chicago, who had con- tributed $3,300 in real money, was the other player. ‘The demonstration was a classic Both players were convinced that the as crooked, and, In order to » EKdes from making goud on bis boasts, they bet very conservatively. They won but as soon vera] times on small beta, before Judge trlal of Thompson began to-day. The charge upon which Thompson of $5,000 on No fense to which E pleaded guilty to as far as his part in the tranagaction was concerned, that of the crooked dealing. Gallant de- cares that he played seven other os, losing each time, attracted by © claims of the swindlers that Cherry was an easy mark and that if ‘he Gallant) persisted he would have to get the Grand National Club bank roll at some aitting. Gallant first went againet the game on Sept. 27, 1911, and lost $6,000. On Oct. 20, the same year, he lost $6,500; Dec, 30, 1911, $6,000; Nov, 17, 1 $5,000; May 24, 1914, $8,000; Deo, 19, 1914, $8,000; Feb, 7, 1915, $7,600, and Oct. 7, 1916, $9,000, Mr. Lowy, who is a Chicago ie ? ge exhibitor, contributed his $3,300 on Aug. 22, 1918, Aftor his November, 1918, expert ence, Mr. Gallant refused to have any- thing more to do with the game, But in May of the following year the per- fuasive powers of George Pobimann, aon of @ former Sheriff of St. Louis, caused him to go back at the game more. Pobimann to-day pleaded Nty to having acted as the Bt, Louis steorer for the gang.

So far as New York is con- corned there is no candidate for the nomination but Woodrow Wilson ‘The Democrats will hold a State convention of an unofficial nature at Syracuse on March 1 to select and put forward for the approval of the voters four delegates at large and four alternates. This convention will undoubtedly reaffirm the Wilson res- olutions passed by the State Com- mittee to-day. The meeting was more cheerful than any of the State Committee held in many years. While the committee- men, pspecially those from Groator | New fork, did not show any dispos!- tion to tear up the seats when the! Witson resolution was offered there| was n note of cordiallty in the ap- planse, | The Wilson resolution, drafted by | Michael! J. Walsh of Westchester, Cointy, characterized vhe national | Administration as “confronted with unusual difficulties and unprece- dented conditio "We declare our faith,” {t continued, “in Woodrow Wilson, under whose able guidance our country renewed financial and industrial ‘prosperity and remains at peace with all the world. We pledge to him our loyal support In solving the many complex problems imposed upon him by the high office which he has been called, and wb submit that the record of his Administration deserves the hearty approbation and continued confidence of the nation in this period of international unrest.” SAY GANGSTER ADMITS HE WAS HIRED TO KILL Member of Hudson Dusters Con- fesses Woman Employed Him for Dobbs Ferry Murder.
