How the Gang Carried On Their Opera
tions' for Three Years and F1ceced Theii
Backwoods Victims Out of Fifty Thou
sand Dollars.
WAPAKoNETA, o., May 1.-The arrest
trial, conviction, and sentence to the
Ohio penitentiary for one year, of Elihu
Hague, and his subsequent confession,
has developed a gigantic scheme of black
mail and robbery. In the scheme are
implicated many prominent residents OF
Allen, Auglaize, and Van Vert counties.
They had a willdefined plan of organiza-
tion, and have been operating for three
years past with so much adroitness, that
to secure conviction evidence against
them has seemed impossible.
Last summer c.. A. Layton, prosecut-
ing attorney, and Private Detective John
II. Lowe determined to unearth the gang,
and the latter, MS a frnit-trce agent, Wis
tied Spenceryille to obtain a working
clew. From there he went to Kossnth,
an adjacent village, where he met HagHe,
whom he suspected. He secured posses
sion of an obscene letter written by o
young farmer TO a young lady of the
n~etghborhood. He left Hague into the
secret, and the latter quietly suggested
that there was money in it for them.
The letter was given him and the farmer
posted, so that when he was approached
the schemers had apparently easy work.
The evidence was conclusive, and Hague's
trial followed. In his trial other facts
We're drawn from the prisoner. Later
he made a full confession, in which
he said that there existed n regularly
organized band of blackmailers in the
three counties named, having h~eadquart-
ers at Spencerville, where the schemes
were planned and arrangements per-
fected. No member operated in his own
locality. The schemes to raise money
have been various, burglary not being
unfamiliar. TIT favorite mode, however,
and practiced mostly on farmers, was for
one of the gang to tender q countryman
a genuine bill, usually one of $40 denom-
nation, n ask him to test its genuine
ness. Then the sharper offers to furnish
the farmer an unlimited quantity for a
nominal sum. The dupe accepts and
signs q blank certificate Of membership
in the y. r. A. M. society. Later N
other man claiming to be a United States
detective would call with the certificate
filled out, which implicated the signer in
Q conspiracy to pass counterfeit money.
He would be threatened with arrest and
then offered q chance to settle for an
mount which varied with the victims
circumstances, the sums paid reaching as
high as 50, 0G0. The fact of Hague's con-
fession has leaked out, and fully a dozen
men whom he named have fed the coun-
ties, Many others are under surveil-
lance. Auglaize is one Of the backwoods
counties of the state, which accounts in
a measure for the success OF the schemes
by which 200, 600 has been realized in
three years.
