his wife by inflicting wound on the heal

died at Providence Hospital the same day
she was injured.
The proceedings commenced this morning.
while having relation to the criminal

SURE THING EXPOSED.
Race Tipster Received Money and His
Victims Complain.

Another sure thing in the racing world
has been exposed The offering and the Civ
ing too, for that matter, OF tips as to
which horses are likely to win in certain
races are common enough. and there are AL
ways many persons who are willing TO act
In accordance with them; but 1t is probable
that certain George w. Thompson OF Al
West oath street and 207 Columbus avenue,
New York city. whom the Post Office De
partment has discovered, has them all
beat
In communications sent through the mails
Mr.. Thompson made the following state
ments:
II have just been put wise to another
enormous killing which will take place at
New Orleans on next Saturday.
Il will positively guarantee you against
Il will refund your money IL he loses.
"There is absolutely no chance that he
will lose.
Each 500 bet will win three thousand
dollars
This is certainly the most attractive prop
osition. on its face, that any better on horse
races could imagine. That some persons
took advantage of what they considered to
be a good thing is shown by the fact that
part of the evidence in the case of the Post
Office Department against Thompson Is In
the form of complaints from those who sent
money TO him and never heard from him
again.
Thompson requested the New York postal
authorities March 20 to forward his mail To
$40 Sth street, Washington ID. c.. and since
that time several letters addressed to him
have been received at the local Office. In
spector Little of the local division recently
reported however, that there is no such ad-
dress that given the site being occupied
by the Interior Department. March % tho
postmaster of New York city was INSTRUCT
ed to withhold Thompson's mall for identif-
cation, but since that time it has not been
called for.
The inspector, in his report on the case.
says that the scheme is in reality a lottery.
as remittances are solicited for betting on
races, the results of which depend on cir
cumstances beyond the control OF the re-
mitter, and are therefore a matter OF
chance. This is construed to be contrary to
the law by the Attorney General for the
Post Office Department
In view of all these circumstances POST.
master General Cortelyou decided to deny
the use of the United States mails to MIR.
Thompson, and issued fraud order against
all of his correspondence April 20. The gen.
tleman himself has not been located, bue
this is considered to be unnecessary.
