it, and vet the driver has perfect control
of the machine, as well as of his horses.

SLAVE DEALERS TO ESCAPE
Chinese Who Sold Little All
500 Into Captivity Elude
the Law.
Witnesses for the Prosecution Will
Not Testify for Fear of AS
saSSination.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children will not attempt to prosecute
the Chinese who sold little All 500 into
slavery, although there is City ordinance
which forbids the traffic in human flesh,
and makes it punishable as misdemeanor.
SIT is utterly useless to attempt any
prosecution in this case" said Secretary
McComb yesterday. "Our informant and
all our witnesses are Chinese, and they
have told us that if called on to go into
court and testify they must discIaim all
knowledge of the matter. This is because
they fear assassination at the hands of the
highbinders, and as matter of fact we
recognize that in case they did testify,
their lives would not be worth an instant's
purchase"
Special Officer Frank Holbrook holds
similar views. Some years ago he was in
strumentaI in rescuing thirty-two white
children from Chinatown slavery. One
woman was convicted of selling her child
into slavery and was given six months in
Jail, but in that case there was a white
witness who knew the circumstances.
The law in the matter is plain. The
City ordinance reads:
Section Alt shall be unlawful for any
person:
Ito sell or attempt to sell, propose, threaten
or offer to sell any human being.
In the absence of witnesses in the pres.
ent case, however, the guilty parties must
escape.

SWINDLING AN OLD MAN,
How John Lapique Cunningly
Worked Upon John
Louis Alder.
In Less Than Two Weeks Ader's
Bank Account Was Consider
ably Diminished.

A tale of an old mans credulity and
young mans cunning was told in Judge
Campbelrs court yesterday which stag
gered the Judge and all who heard it.
John Lapique, butcher, was before the
Judge on charge of misdemeanor embez-
element, the complaining witness being
John Louis Alder, retired gardener and
lodging-house keeper, who charged the de-
PENDANT with stealing his gold watch.
Lapique ascertained that the old man
was possessed of about $40, 600, which was
deposited in different banks. re repre-
sented himself as the agent of a real estate
firm, and suggested to Adler that he should
withdraw his money from the banks and
invest il in real estate.
He worked upon the old man by getting
him to drink, a habit he had not INDUCED
in for over twenty years. When in this
condition Adler was an easy victim. The
first transaction was the purchase OF the
Montreal House, a second-class establish
ment on Broadway and Stockton street,
for $4,000. The transaction was completed
about two weeks ago, but Alder had scarcely
taken possession when Lapique induced
him to resell for $3.50, payment being made
BY 800 in cash and note for $3.50. This
note was subsequently taken from Alder,
who blames Lapique for stealing it. BY
this transaction Alder dropped $500.
Lapique then induced Alder to purchase
the lodging house at 514 Bush street, the
purchase price being $1450. He so worked
upon the old man that the bill OF sale was
made out III his own name, the considera-
ton being 500, which Lapique had
short time before, borrowed from his
victim.
After obtaining the bill of sale Lapique
attem pied to take possession of the lodg-
ing-h house, but some of Aders friends, who
had become cognizant of the way in which
Lapique had been fleeing the old man,
held possession of the house, and refused
to give it up.
Attorney CASTOR Straus was engaged and
proceedings were commenced against the
swindler by having him arrested on the
charge of misdemeanor embeZzlement. He
appeared in Judge Campbells court on
Wednesday and the case was continued till
yesterday.
Meantime a warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of Lapique on the charge of
grand larceny and while the complaint was
being made out Lapique attempted to make
his escape from court. but was caught by
Detective Crockett. He is now locked up
in the City Prison.
Ader's bank account has dwindled from
$4,000 to about 5000 since he fell into
LapiQue's hands, but what the latter has
done with it all has not yet been discovered.
Attorney Straus has been appointed guar
dian for the old man and he will do every
thing possible to compel restitution OF the
money.
