A dispatch to the Pittsburg Sunday Leader,
from the Chicago walking match, dated May
yesterday that the Bridgeport boy tDobler)
was ahead, with fair show of winning, Jerry
Monroe suddenly professed great friendship
/ for him, and was very active In procuring
good accommodations for him, and providing
anything he might need. Among other things,
he put a well-known sport from the East,
named Charley Perkins, into Dobler's room
to help take care of him. Last night, about
II o'clock, Dobler was taken to his room,
/ rubbed down and left on his bed for short
rest When his trainer went to dress him
preparatory to starting him out, he was
| found to be In a state OF stupOr. from which
1t was impossible to arouse him. He was
finally dressed, and, appearing a little better,
track, returned, and while claiming to feel
well enough, could not Walk-in fact, did not
seem to realize his condition. O'Leary went
into the mans room at that moment AND
i asked what they were using on Dobler, say.
ing that it smelt very strongly OF chloroform
The bed was then examined, and 1t WAS fOunC
that the blankets and bed clothes had beer
saturated with chloroform. DIR. Dome, who
was called Ia, said the odor was strong enough
, to stupefy horse. About the time this was
discovered Jerry Monroe was known to have
given man In the building g considerabl,
, sum OF money, with instructions to bacl
, Parry. This was considered significant, from
the fact that up to that time he claimed to b.
q better on DObler. The whole gang wert
cleared out, and IL good care will bring Dob
Ter through he will yet win the belt. Doble
was quickly changed to another room, ant
has now, 1t is said, fully recovered from tn
] effects Of this cowardly attempt to injure hi
t chances"
