FOUND MANY VICTIMS
Secret Service Men Unearth a
Gang of Swindlers.
COUyTERFEITED LOTTERY TICKETS.
A Unique Plan OF Duping the GuiIeIess.
Thomas Doian Arrested. and tho
swindIing OUTFIT Found In the
Cellar of His House.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 2S.-Government
secret service agents have succeeded IN
unearthing a gang of lottery ticket
counterfeiters, whose operations during
the last five years have extended
through nearly every large city in the
country. As lotteries are outlawed, the
forging OF the tickets cannot be pun
ished, but the postal agents got after
them for sendinglottery tickets through
the mails. Yesterday afternoon they
made descent upon the home OF
Thomas Dolln, 35 years old. ostensibly
carpenter, at 75 Berlin street They
arrested Dolin on the charge Of sending
lottery tickets through the mails and
searched the house
In the basement was found complete
paraphernala for altering lottery tick
cts. IL was conflscated and taken 20
the United States marshals office. Do
lin pleads innocence OF violating the
postal laws, but says nothing about the
swndling scheme. He was released on
$500 bail. The gangs method OF opera
tions was TO buy lottery tickets, walt
for the announcement of the winning
numbers and change the numbers on
the tickets to correspond. The work
was done by scraping the original num-
bers off and painting the new numbers
and lettering on. The work was done
so dexterously that in many cases the
deception cannot be detected with a
magnifying glass. No attempt was
made TO have the lottery company cash
the tickets direct, but IN Cleveland there
are ~ "pushers." who disposed Of them
10 Individuals at a slight discount. after
showing the official list OF winning
numbers and making the plea that they
were IN need Of ready money.
A great many of the tickets have been
sold in that way I'M Cleveland. and the
government detectives say the same
thing is being done In New York, Chi
cago and other large cities. The lottery
company has long had a steady, stand
ing reward up for the detection Of the
counterfeiters.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 2S.-John
William Lundberg q Swede about 35
years old, at present employed in this
city and who claims to have been a
member of a hlibustering expedition
which fell into the hands of the Span
lsh, tells the following story Of his ex-
perience:
He says he shipped from New York
early last fall on the Norwegian steam
er Chrstiania, Captain Hans Nielsen.
The members OF the crew were told
that the vessel was bound for Califor-
MIA 70 take on fruit A stop was made
at New Orleans and a number Of mys-
terious chests, said by the captain to
contain provisions, were taken aboard.
A little later the crew discovered the
| vessel off the coast of Cuba. Prepara-
items were being made to enter small
port. the name of which Lundberg can-
not recall, when Spanish gunboat bore
/ down The Christania fed with the
runboat in pursuit Eventually the
! Spanish vessel overhauled the steamer
and placed under arrest the crew of
/ i6. including Captain Nielsen; seized
/ the mysterious chests. which were
/ found to contain ammunition, and land-
ed the prisoners in Cuba. The men
we're placed in dirty factory used as
a prison, fed on stale bread and filthy
water There they were kept four days.
when, through Consul General Lee, the
men were removed to Havana, where
they were put in cleaner prisons and
treated more considerably. After con-
siderable delay Consul General Lee sue
eeeded in securing the release Of u of
the 16. including Captain Nielsen. The
other four the United States represent
ative could not aid. as they were not
American citizens. The - men were
placed aboard a vessel bound for New
York and sent home. The fate of the
| other four is unknown.

A Peasant Jack the Ripper Did Murder
For tho Love Of IL.
LYONS Jan. 2s.-Vacher. the French
shepherd. under arrest on the charge OF
having murdered 30 persons within
three years. was attacked by one OF his
periodical fits last night and tried TO
kill a prison warden.
Vacher had been tractable and ap-
parently Of peaceful intent for some
time. and vigilance was relaxed As
the guard entered Vacher's cell last
night the insane man leaped from his
cot and picking up the heavy prison
chair wbirled IL over his head ana
brought IL down with crushing force.
The dazed prison keeper tried TO ward
off the rain of blows. but was beaten
to the floor, when Vacher stood over
him. jabhlng hercely at the unconscious
mans body.
Half a dozen wardens sprang upon
Vacher and dragged him TO the cell
floor. He fought with wonderful
strength and could only be made power
less by the piling up Of the men on top
of him.
Vacher. the French Jack the Ripper
whose crimes have surpassed in NUM-
ber and atrocity those Of his White
chapel prototype has confessed to Il
murders. He has puzzled every magis-
trate and scientist before whom he has
been examined. He is described as an
individual whose ideas are quite lucid.
Since he made his confession shortly
after his arrest he has been continually
proclaiming irresponsibility at one mo-
ment, declaring 1t is not his fault II his
blood is vitiated; at another protesting
that he is but an instrument of God on
earth He only consented TO be pho
tographed on condition that he be al
lowed to hold the jailers keys in his
hand, saying. "The public will under
stand these keys represent the keys to
paradise"
Vacher was once confined for some
months I'm madhouse, and once when
doing military service he attempted TO
shoot himself owing to a love affair
Vacher himself says, which statement
has been proved TO be true. that In hie
youth he was bitten by a mad dog and
a concoction was given him by the vii
lage herbalist after drinking which he
grew strange, irritable and brutal.
