Beside the man who ran the game. there
were present Brown, his friend. the cap
per" and stout man who runs the
swings at the park.
Brown felt bad when he went broke so
BILLY the Kid gave him 50 to get home
with.
TRIED TO GET HIS MONEY.
Mr. Brown did not give in, however.
but went to Crescent Park next day, try
ing TO get his money back.
He went Thursday, too, and again on
Friday.
On Friday. IL is said. he told Boyden
all about II and Boyden told him to get
policeman and have the gambler arrested,
he says.
lie saw policeman, either before or af-
ter that, and the "cop" advised him to
get out of the park unless he wanted to
be arrested.
Brown says the policeman was Sergeant
Munroe.
Saturday Brown was there again. lie
was told by j. Il. Nash, the man who is
said to control the gambling devices at
Crescent Park, that he would give him
S2S cash and his note for 30 days.
That didn't suit Brown, for he had an
idea that there was more bunco about IL.
In fact, there was evidently a LOB"
put upon Brown. IL he understands 1t
rightly.
The "capper" got an older man to tell
Brown that he lost sS5, but thought he
could get II from Nash. He likewise
thought Brown could recover his money.
They went into the Eden Musee. where
one Lavelle presides over some sort OF a
game, and the man who said he lost the
$35 was prevailed upon, apparently, to
accept S on account.
The IS Nash said he had to borrow
from Lavelle.
Brown hasn't given up the fight yet.

HE WENT TO CRESCENT PARK.
Mr.. Brown is painter. His home is
in Douglass, Mass, but for the past ten
days ne has been visiting in Riverside
Last week Tuesday he went 10 Cres.
cent Park, having heard so much about
the "attractiyeness' of the place.
Now he regrets 1t, for he found that
II had more attraction for his money
than himself.
The animal show and the museum and
other features that dwell in the tents
at Crescent Park opened up that day.
Into the museum tent, about p. m,
wandered Brown. He didn't seem TO
care so much about the ordinary GU
riosities displayed as he did about the
"Chinese striker" as he calls it.
This Chinese striker" appealed to him
forcibly. 1t was striking machine, 1t
seems, which registered the strength of
q blow with mans fist.
1t looked innocent enough and only cost
IS cents to try. In addition to the salts
faction of knowing whether he could
strike as strong blow as ''Lanlty Bob"
Brown saw that he stood a good chance
OF winning a pair of cuff buttons as
some other kind Of jewelry.
PRIZES WE'RE ALLURING.
The prizes were conveniently displayed
and looked very allurng.
The machine itself was very simple
There was an upright post, the top of
which was to be struck by the clenched
first, much as a pile driver strikes pile
Back of this post, and rising TO a
height of three feet, perhaps. was reg
istering board with pointer that went
up and down In a groove in the centre
as Mr.. Brown explains It,
Mr.. Brown put up his little IS cents and
hit the post. 1t was not winner, but for
10 cents more he could have another try,
he was told.
Those cuff buttons looked worth the
while, SO he concluded to give II another
go.
Then he was informed that for 25 cents
ne could take shy at something worth
trying for. a conditional prize OF So
That was pretty tempting. so Mr.. Brown
Invested another quarter.
He struck the post a mighty blow and
No. so was the point reached by the
pointer on the dial, or whatever the reg
tstering machine is called.
PULLING BROWN ON.
"That forces me to put up IS more"
says the man behind the machine. "If IL
causes me to double IL ought to cause
you to double, so for so cents you have
chance to win $10'
And thus IL went until incredible as II
may seem. Brown was putting up $40 for
a try and the last two plays were for $40

Providence chambermaid at Camp
White hotel, was awakened from sound
sleep between two and three o'clock I'm

Witness had already testified that she
and her roommate reached the hall as
soon as Misses Cline and Spellman, who
were examined yesterday or, in fact, that
only one of them had started to enter the
hall when she and her roommate reached
IL.
She could not explain, however, why 1t
was that the Misses Spellman and Cline

She testified that the Misses Spellman

She was so excited. however, that she
could not tell which one got into the hall
first
When witness first stepped into the hall
neither Miss Spellman nor Miss Cline
was in the hall. They were i'm their
room. She asked Mary Spellman what
the trouble was. and was told that she
thought somebody was shot.
