The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1880-12-03

JONATHAN Fl. GREENE, once the most
notorious and successful gambler in
America, and afterward known as an ex-
poser of gamblers tricks, is now aged
and poverty stricken in Philadelphia.
From 1881 to 1S42 he won money right
and left, not only from amateurs. but
heavily from professional players. On
one occasion he took $50, 900 from a
party of card sharpers in three days.
He was wonderfully skilled in handling
cards, and invented several of the
swindling devices still used by faro deal
ers At length he renowned his evil
ways, restored great deal of money to
men he had robbed, and spent the rest
of his fortune in the advocacy of
laws against gambling. The statutes on
the subject in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Ohio were largely passed through
his exertions. In lectures and books he
described the means by which he won,
but this after a while failed to yield him
a living. His family are now supported
by charity.
