The apparatus, which was of the variety
known among the Hght-hngered frater-
nifty as "brace," was carefully concealed
under the heavy rugs and among the
pretty table covers and the beautiful
hangings of the wall. Even the tables
were hollow, it is said, and had been
carefully constructed with an eye singly
to the Interior uses to which their own
er intended to put them.
Having arranged the nest the artistic
MIR Allen prepared to find the birds
that would fit in it to his financial ag-
grandiZement. This wasn't hard thing
to do Hurt is one of the most accom-
pBshed crooks who ever turned trick.
Handsome, engaging of manner and
frank of countenance, he gave the nrst
| impression of being royal good fellow
and q thorough gentleman to boot Add
| ed to these characteristics were the
equally potent factors of thorough edu-
cation, great polish and knowledge OF
| the world and its people that made him
| delightful companion. Mr.. Allen
made friends.
| OF course, a stranger is under some
disadvantages in an attempt to "break
| into" society. but "Mr. Allen" bided his
time. His companion on the voyage over
| to Honolulu introduced him to a number
| of good people," and 1t is said that the
enterprising and liberal Hurt actually
made overtures to three well-known peo-
pie looking to their cooperation IN MS
iphilanthropical desire to relieve people OF
the cares OF wealth. His proposition
was to divide the profits with the man
who introduced him to rich gentlemen
with a fondness for the cards.
| Evidently as a sort OF preliminary &c
the greater work ahead of him and foi
practice, so to speak, "Mr. Allen" began
business with comparatively small fry II

made kick and 1t was this kick which
probably eventuated in putting the versa

Honolulu is concerned

Bean was associated with a colored maj

One OF the witnesses to that game de
clared afterward that Hurt took all the
money Bean had from the latter's pocke
and placed it on the card table. 1t we.
then an easy trick to ..win'' the coin.
When Bean recovered his senses he de
clared that the money OF which he has

reporter, according to Hurt, showed
their guns to Fisher and Smith
It is well to explain the point that
neither Mcdonnell or the reporter had
weapons of any kind, nor did they make
mention of Byrnes' name. Mcdonnell
said he had no fault to find with my
card-playing, explained Hurt, but he
said he was mad because I had made
false representations of my means and
that l associated with Dean"
Lawyer Steele said that he had done
business for Mr.. Hurt ever since he had
been in New York and that he would
vouch for his honor and probity. The
two had seen Boldt, the proprietor Of
the Waldorf. who said that he regretted
the affair and hoped that Hurt would
be able to clear himself.
AS a result OF the game Hurt and
his companions were barred from the
Waldorf, the house detective having
been given orders by Mr.. Boldt to refuse
them admittance.
Hurt gave an interesting description of
his running pal, Jack Dean, alias
