MONTE CARLO, Feb. 1.-G. Walfs
mysterious machine, with which he is
fighting the banks at Monte Carlo, is
puzzling the experts. The manner In
which 1t upsets all known experience
of play is making the Casino officials
distinctly uneasy. They confess them
selves. quite unable to discover the
secret of the System"
Three hundred people stood around
the table at which Mr.. Wall was sit
ting last night and saw him play with
steady success, winning throughout.
The excitement was, however, as Moth
ing compared with that which attended
play this morning.
For once luck was dead against the
machine, and Mr.. Wall set himself to
see it through. Zero turned up three
times, and Mr.. Wall, who began by
stalking 4 shilling pieces, was at one
time forced to stake e25 at each bet.
stolidly clicking his machine, he
continued what appeared to be an i'm
possible battle. He fought his way
back almost to the starting point and
at the close had lost only G10. He had
played just two hours, and, putting his
luck machine in his pocket, he but
toned his coat and left the building.

that this mornings experience would
have broken him if he had played any
known System"
Mr.. Wall tells how he came to invent
his machine.
Ever since he was boy, he says, he
has been interested in the mathematical
laws of chance and fifteen years ago
he got an idea which he believed would
neutralize, if not beat, the turn in
favor of the bank at roulette. He has
constantly experimental with his
theory, but it was not until twelve
months ago that he considered he had
met with success.
