One Man Who Had Rivnl for the Elec.
trio Sugar scheme-Changing Poor
Whisky Into High Wine-Dis-
covered by n Detective.
CHICAGO, May ia scheme rivaling
in some respects the famous electric sugar
refining swindle was exposed here to-day.
The perpetrator is q smooth-mannered
young fellow named John Archibald
Comp, whose papers indicate that he
has been operating not only in
Chicago, but also at Kansas City, st. Louis
and Cincinnati. Comp is now missing, and
it is said that good many thousand dollars
belonging to various distillers and liquor
dealers have disappeared with him.
Comp stopped at the Metropolitan Hotel,
and according to the report to-day OF the
detectives who have been investigating the
matter, he was visited by scores of dupes.
The fellow pretended to possess compound
which would change poor whisky into the
finest of high wines. A gallon sample of
the Yilest "Forty-rod" after being
medicated would be placed in q
refrigerator and in ten minutes
could be taken out transformed into the
finest Bourbon. If objection was made to
the refrigerator, Comp would accompany the
doubter to any place desired, and then re-
tiring to a private room accomplish the
same feat without the refrigerator. 1t now
turns out, however, that the refrigerator
was really, as suspected, clever device by
which bottle containing good whisky was
substituted for the bad.
The trick when performed elsewhere than
at the refrigerator was done by means of
tin breast-plate or armor worn under
Comps clothing. This afmor was double
and was in reality a reservoir which by
means of a concealed tube could be emptied
or filled at will. Comp was inveigled into
taking a detective into partnership with
him, but when an arrest was contemplated
smelt a mouse and fed, leaving behind the
