AFTER THE BROKERS.
Old Hutch" Believes His Defaulting
Clerks We're Only Tools.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 14.-"Bert" King,
the settling clerk on the board Of trade,
who it is alleged, aided in a scheme to de-
fraud Mr.. p. 3. Hutchinson. the most
noted member of the board of trade, Of
several thousand dollars. has promised to
return to Chicago from his retreat in Mon
treal upon a guarantee OF immunity,
given On condition that he tells al he
knows about the conspiracy OF robbery
which is said to have existed for some time
among a ring of brokers on the board.
Kings companion in the steal returned
several days ago, and, strange 10
say, the young man IS at MS
old desk in the cratic specuiator
Office. The reason which induced Mr..
Hutchinson to not only grant Immunity
from prosecution TO man alleged to nave
swindled him out of $1,000 but TO actually
restore him TO his old position IN his EN-
ploy could only be surmised until the news
came this morning that King, Stoners
companion in crime, was on his way Dach,
when the full facts were learned.
Mr. w. Z. Dickinson, the employer
of King, whose name has been
dragged into the affair, but who is perfect
iy open and candid obout the whole mat
ter from The beginning, talked freely to a
reporter. He said: "Well, you see, it has
been long suspected that there mas been Il
conspiracy among a number of brokers to
defraud Hutchinson just in the way that
Stoner and King worked it. This has
been going on for quite a while. Clerks
were taken into the scheme, but While
they had to do the work, run all the risks
and skip out occasionally when in tight
place, the brokers took the lions share OF
the profits ] am Informed of at least i've
brokers who can be shown to have been IN

bows have been but tools in the hands OF
the brokers, and he wants to get at those
behind them; that's why he has let Stoner
come back I have it on reliable authority
that a similar grant of immunity was yes
