"ENGLISH FARO"
A Man from Buffalo Lost $1,000 In Ten
Minutes While Playing the Game.

- mdn from Buffalo LOST $o,OUO IN ] en-
Minutes While Playing the Game.
New York. June 15.-Thal it is pos
sible to lose $1,000 in ten minutes by
playing English faro" in New York,
that the police do not know where the
game was played and that the victim
may have no legal remedy, were facts
brought out Tuesday in a case heard
before Magistrate Mayo in the West
Side court.
Frederick Warren, of Buffalo, was
the complainant, and the prisoner
was his friend, Peter Forrestel, also
of Buffalo. The latter had a badly cut
head which he stated the complainant
had caused by striking him with a
cane.
Warren told the magistrate that
Fprrestel had told him that a friend
Of his had made s20,000,000 in Wall
street and that the corporation
which he represented could be parted
from a great deal Of its money pro-
vided enough was in sight to play a
combination against the corporation.
Upon this representation, Warren
says, he drew s5,00o-the savings of a
lifetime-from a bank in Buffalo and
came to this city.
When he reached New York, he
says, Forrestel took him to a place
and introduced him to seven other
members Of the corporation. A
game called English faro" was pro-
posed, and Warren was assured that
he could not lose. Ten minutes later,
however. his $1,000 had vanished
across the board. He then turned upon
Forrestel, accused him Of robbery
and struck him on the head with a
cane. He was unable to tell the mag
istrate where the game was played,
and when Forrestel told the court
that he also had played and lost s3,-
500 the complainant was informed
that he had no redress and the pris-
oner was discharged.
