Detectives and Bunko Men


4 notorious three-card monte man
named Thomas Dunn, has been convicted
here OF robbery. The testimony taken n,
the case showed that during the past few
years an organized band of monte and
bunkO men had fleeced over 1000 people
IN the District of Columbia and its imne.
dlate Vicinity out of nearly $500 900
lhese robbers are alleged to have been in
league with the city detectives. who
shared the proceeds OF the robberies and
protected the rascals from punishment.
Inc evidence against the detectives was 50
stfonS that last spring nearly all the
members of the old force were removed
and their places 1lled by new men. The
discharged officers have, with few excep-
tions been indicted, and they soon will be
tried. Two of the ex-detectiyes testified
IN Dunn's behalf, but the jury refused to
helIeVe their evidence. The conviction of
Dunn, 1t is thought, will be followed by
the conviction Of the faithless officers.
