long story short. NJ Blanc had AN inter-
view with madame, and after long hag-
Cling. he purchased the secret for 10000
francs-and il was cheap at the price.
'The money being paid after play had
ended and the rooms closed. madame led
us 10 the table and astounded us by her
statement She told us that after some
years at the table she knew quite well
that no system was infallible until OF a
sudden, when registering the numbers
she noticed that certain of them always
followed each other. Thus. II the crou-
pier spun with the number opposite him,
26 was certain to be the next, and II
zero was In the same position. % would
surely follow. For days she watched this
then played and won. She quickly got
together her little syndicate OF Italians
and upon her observations they prohted
nearly 100000 francs.
And why was Il that these numbers
turned up in sequence Well, 1t was
quite simple when madame told us. The
roulette wheel had become warped by the
heat and was not quite round. Hence, II
turned from "A certain point. II invariably
stuck at a certain other point there
fore the players never hesitated To risk
a maximum That is the only system
which has ever been infallible,' added
the courtly official. and I need hardly

Monts Carlo Bank Was Uneasy.

Lord RoSslyn's recent vain attempt to

garding similar attempts In the past
Perhaps the best of the lot was told by an
official OF Monte Carlo to London

bank any uneasiness.

old lady. who, like many others here.

HIS FIRST
SUNDAY IN
SING SING
Patrick Was Lonely in His Cell
in MurdeTers Row. Conduct
Like That Of MOIineux.

ossning. n. Y, April 1i-Albert T. Pat
rick spent his first Sunday as an inmate
of the condemned cells in Sing Sing prison
yesterday, and a dreary one Il was for the
convicted murderer of William Marsh
Rice. No person outside OF the two
guards who are detailed TO watch over the
four men awaiting death In these cells
passed Patrick during the day or night.
The stiffness OF the place was not dis
turbed during the "a hours. The guards
wear felt sneaks and move noiselessly
about the corridor and the three COM
panions OF Patrick have become so accus-
toned TO the place that its quietness or
the absence OF voices does not worry them
in the least.
Patrick realizes he is undergoing soli-
tary confinement i'm its severest form. and
he now realizes also that his protests
against this form of Imprisonment will
not result in a change because OF the
law governing his case. The lack of ex-
ercise and the fact that he sees no one
are the only conditions that Patrick de-
plores otherwise ne would not mind his
imprisonment, which he declares is only
temporary. as he is confident that new
trial will be granted to him.
Patricks actions as a prisoner resem-
BILE those OF Roland B. Molneux. when he
was serving his death sentence I'm the
condemned cells. His case is ever in his
mind and he writes long technical let
ters to his lawyer reviewing the testi-
mony upon which he was convicted.
In intelligence he is far above his three
companions here, and IL is hardly possi-
BILE that they know he is in the deatb
cells. as the guards never speak with
them and they have shown no curiosity
about the new arrival Mrs. Patrick on
Friday saw her husband for the first time
In his cell. She is 10 visit him weekly
during his imprisonment. but will not live
in Ossining.
