The next scene of operations was Mil
waukee, where DIR. Cole went in the
company Of Stillson, leaving Race be-
hind to send the signal over the tele-
graph wire that should net them big
sum of money. But the signal never
came. Instead DIR. Cole got a telephone
message from Race stating that more
machinery was required and that it
would cost about $500 more. Obediently
DR.. Cole came back to Chicago and
drew $500 more from the bank, paying
it to Stone and carefully taking a re-
ceipt for the amount.
From Milwaukee the scene shifted to
st. Louis, because. as Stillson and Race
explained, they could not get the signal
from Chicago. But they found that the
signal was known to three men in ST.
Louis, each of whom demanded $3.50 for
imparting it. So DR.. Cole paid out $3.50
more. He added s55 to this sum the
next day to pay Stillson's travelling ex-
penses to Milwaukee. where he was to
make deal in stocks. Two days later
Stillson returned and inspired conf
dence in the doctor by handing him SIS
which he said he had made In a stock
| deal, and then turning in an expense ac-
count for $s7.
| This showing of profit paved the way
| for a coup on the good doctor. Stillson
| and Race pointed out to him that a
horse race was soon to come off at Oak
and. Cal. and that if they went in
strong they would clean up a fortune
About this time Mrs. Jackman reap
peared on the scene DR.. Cole began to
be suspicious when asked to put in
| s., 900 on bet. Mrs Jackman, he says,
called at his Office. explaining that she
| had done so because the spirits tod her
could account for her visit.
| The advice Dl Cole got from Mrs.
Jackman was reassuring. All he had !,
do was to bet all his money. for the
spirits said he could not possibly lose,
which was what Race had said before.
Mrs. Jackman was so confident that she
betrayed much anxiety to have her hus-
| band participate in the wager. but when
DIR. Cole gave this information 20 Race
| that gentleman flatly refused to let any
body else in on the good thing"
With all of these forces working upon
him DIR. Cole could not resist. He drew
$4,000 more from the bank, and, giving
| half of it to Race. they went to a pool
| room in Thirtieth street. near Indiana
| avenue. where Race presented what he
said was letter of introduction to the
| manager. DIR. Cole saw money being
wagered by other men and bets being
paid off. He was gratified deeply when
Race came and whispered:
I've got the tip on the right horse
and the money is ours; put your bet on
| the same horse I do" he said. and then
went up to a man. giving the name OF
a horse. DR.. Cole was game enough to
hand the man his $1,000. A ticker began
sounding and the man announced that
the winner was the horse that DR.. Cole
had bet on. few minutes later. while
DR.. Coles fingers were itching to get
hold of his winnings. he was told by
Race that a mistake had been made.
The fog was so thick at the Oakland
track that the telegraph operator iiiis-
took the Jockeys colors and that an
other horse had won.
DR.. Cole had lost over $4500 within a
month. but he was not quite ready to
quit the game. He was told ~ Race
that Stillson was almost prostrated over
the loss and that such an accident could
not happen again in a thousand years
Mrs. Jackman told him he should not
mind the loss and that the spirits told
her he would get all of it back again,
and more, too. A few days later hace
showed him a telegram from st. Lous
stating that the building in which they
