Madison Square Garden. n. Y,
Dec. 15.-Amid the widest enthus-
iasm, bordering on riot, and before
a crowd that took up every inch of
space in Madison Square Garden,
Joseph Fogler of Brooklyn, won the
six-day bicycle race tonight in "A kill
ing finish by the narrow margin of
about six inches Hardy Downing of
San Jose, California, was so close
upon him that to the crowd it SEEM
ed practically a tie. In the confusion
it was many minutes before the de-
cfsion of the judges could be learned.
All of the tagging and Slapped energy
of the week was revived in the spec
tators and the great building fairly
creaked with the uproar. Walter
Rutt of Germany, was third.
Two Thousand Turned Away.
As soon as the doors were opened
to admit the spectators, for the last
squirt of the week, the great crowd
began TO surge into the Garden.
More than two thousand persons
were turned away when officials of
dered the doors closed and refused
TO permit anyone else TO enter. A
great crowd of enthusiasts stood
about the doors and blocked Madison
Avenue to hear the reports as they
were passed out by word of mouth.
After the elimination for the finish
the following riders were left on the
saucer track: Foiger, Downing, Mac
Donald, Melting, Downey, Rutt,
Clark and L. Georget
Following is the order of the fin
ish:
Fogler, Downing, Rutt Macdonald,
Downey, Netting, Clark and Geor-
ret. The final score was 2,292 miles
and laps.
Feeling Has. Been Growing.
BeginninG-with the displeasure at
the ruling adverse to Waltholy. the
popular favorite, the crowd gradual
~ began to find fault with the race
and the judges. During the last
three days the feeling had been
and it reached it's culmin-

while he was making the lap. Brave

rode through 10 the last laps before

that he would get a chance for the
prize.
The disapproval of the decision

ment expects to be able to push the
work with considerable rapidity as

ers can be obtained. More or less

1t was stated last night that a rep
resentative of the company would go
to Kentucky next week and bring
back with him fifty or sixty negro
laborers who will be used in the work
of excavating for the conduits which
are to be put in. If boarding houses
can be procured for all of these men
they will be housed in that way. but
if not the company is under obliga-

the company will be ready within
the next ten days.

AGED CRIMINAL
BACK To PRISON
Matt Shockey, 10 Years Old,
Has Been Sentenced to
Michigan City.
HIS CAREER is UNUSUAL
HAS SPENT MOST OF HIS YEARS
BEHIND THE BARS---MADE SEN
SATIONAL ESCAPE YEARS
AGO.

Matt Shock1ey. one of the oldest
criminals in Indiana. who in years
gone by has figured in escapodes in
Richmond, has been sentenced by
Judge Macy of Winchester to an in
determinate sentence in Michigan
City prison, of from two to fourteen
years for the theft of a horse near
Farmland
Shockley has been in prison so
often that the experience will not
be new to him. He is now 70 years
old and has spent over forty years in
the Michigan City prison for various
larcenies, but mostly for horse steal
ing Because of his many years in
prison, he will very likely receive the
full extent of his sentence. Being so
old this term will probably take up
the few remaining years of his life.
Shockley has had many thrilling
experiences. He has escaped twice
from the penitentiary and has sue
ceeded in breaking Jail many times.
He attempted to escape from the
Randolph county Jail only few
weeks ago. but was prevented by the
sheriff, who appeared on the scene
just as the old man was leaving the
Jail building.
During the civil war he was con-
fined in the old Randolph county Jail,
his wife went to see him, wearing
one of the famous crinoline skirts in
vogue at that time. AS she was
about to retire the prisoner crawled
under the spacious garment and
walked out of the jail with her on
his hands and knees, making good his
escape.

LEFT RICHMOND
VERY SUDDENLY
William Patrick O'Larry Adds
Second Chapter to His
Escapade.
BUSINESS is TOTTERING
THE BRAVE WIFE, LEFT BEHIND
TO BEAR THE TROUBLE, TRY
ING TO SETTLE UP AFFAIRS
AS WELL AS SHE CAN.

After promising his wife that he
would remain with her and attend to
their business interests, if she would
pay his fine SO that he might gain his
freedom, VIM. Patrick DIARY, pro-
prieto of small fruit stand at 1929
Main street, has left the city.
O'Larry is the man who assaulted
his wife last Tuesday because she OBJ
jected to his flirting with a young Po-
lish girl, who went by the store sew
eral times a day. He was arrested
by the police and Wednesday morning
when he faced Judge Converse he was
fined $5 and costs. Not having the
money to pay the fine he was commit
ted to Jail. This was a bitter blow
to him and he begged and plead with
his wife to advance the money for his
fine.
Wife Paid the Fine.
1t was not, however, until he gave
her his promise that he would behave
himself in the future and attend
strictly to business, that she consent
ed to have him released.
Wednesday afternoon she paid the
fine and as she and her husband
walked toward their home the hus-
band turned to his wife and told her
he did not have the nerve to face
his neighbors near the store after
what had happened, and that he would
leave her there and so and hunt
work some other place, and would
then send for her. DIARY then
lodged down an alley and disappeared
and that is the last Mrs. O'Larry saw
of him.
To Close Up Business.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. DIARY
placed all her business in the hands
of Attorney Perry Freeman and he
will wind up the business affairs of
the little fruit store. Many creditors
besieged the place all of yesterday
and Mrs. O'Larry made an effort to
settle the accounts outstanding She
is left in a most embarrassing man
ner, but is facing the problem with a
determination to do the best she can.
Her situation is pitiable.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-Rumors OF
arrests of directors of the looted Real
Estate Trust company fill the air
District Attorney Bell declares in
most emphatic terms that no man will
be spared in the effort to bring to jus
tice those responsible for the dissipa
tion of the depositors money The
statement is made that two directors,
members of the bar, prof1ted $750,0O0
In the past three years by accepting
fees for Adolph Segal for passing on
security rendered by him for loans
from the bank aggregating $5,300,000.
So far as known, warrants have not
yet been issued for these men.
President Hipples plaintive cry
from his grave, "Segal got ALL" has
aroused the depositors to high pitch
of indignation. Lawyers representing G
many hundreds of them are taking an
active part in the investigation of the
trust company. and facts are coming
to light almost hourly revealing new
forms of duplicity on the. part of the
men entrusted with deposits and trust
funds of large and small estates. In
vestigation shows that the looting Of
the trust company will cost the Pres
byterians less than 100000.
Receiver Earle expresses the opin-
ion that President Nipple was money
mad and there seemed to be no end
to the variety of methods by which he
juggled securities which fell into his
hands, and concerning which he
sought to deceive the directors He
was not content with stealing the
same bor.l or stock certificate once" !"
said Earle, but did it several times
over. He would, for instance, receive
a bond or certificate as collateral for
a loan, the security representing a
safe margin. Then, If Mr. Segal came
along asking for loan and present
ing insufficient security, Mr.. Nipple
would take the good security deposit
ed with a note of another man and
place it with Segals note. In this
manner the directors were brought to
believe that the sound security was
collateral for the loan to Segal. This
sort of operation was repeated by Hip
pie as often as Segal's demands seem
ed to render it necessary"
Mr. Earle said these practices of
Nipple left the notes and papers relat-
ing to loans in almost inconceivable
confusion. 1t was established that the
substitution of bogus bonds for good
bonds among the trust securities Of

While Engaged in Ironing at
Her Home Her Clothing
Took Fire, and She Was
Burned to Death.
MADE FUTILE EFFORT
TO STIFLE THE FLAMES
In Her Terror She Had Start
ed to Pun Into the Yard and
Fell Dead Just Without the
Kitchen Door.

Mrs Sarah A. Dempsey, aged Sd
fears, widely-known and estimable
woman, met tragic death yesterday
afternoon in her home. No 122 North
Sixth street Her clothing had TAX
en- fire while she was engaged in
ironing and before persons living in
another part of the house were aware
chat the accident had occurred she
had been burned to death.
Mrs. Dempsey was the widow of
the late James Dempsey and her
home has been in Richmond for more
than a half century. For a consider
able time she had lived alone and at
this particular time she occupied a
part of the house in which Charles
Middaugh resides.
Dress Caught From Stove.
Just how the accident occurred
will probably never be known. but
Mrs. Dempsey was engaged in doing
some ironing and a gas stove in the
kitchen was being used to heat the
irons. The supposition prevails that
in reaching across one of the lighted
burners to grasp an iron, the right
sleeve of Mrs. Dempsey's dress be-
came ignited. The right arm, which
was found to be more deeply burned
than other parts of the body streng
thened this theory. Evidently her
garments were quickly ablaze, and
though she made no outcry that could
be heard in the other part of the
house there are evidences that de-
spite the handicap of her enfeebled
condition due to old age, she had
made a desperate endeavor to extin
enveloped her body.
Started cut Doors.
In her terror she had started to
run into the yard and had fallen just
outside the door. Death probably
came very quickly. The blaze from
her clothing set fire to the house
iclose beside which she had fallen.
Mrs. Middaugh, who was up stairs,
detected the odor of burning cloth
ing and proceeded to investigate She
made her way into that part of the
house occupiI by Mrs. Dempsey and
found the kitchen filed with smoke,
and flames were darting here and
there She aroused the neighbor-
hood and the fire department was
summoned.
The body of Mrs. Dempsey was
found by persons who entered the
premises and the sight was a grew
some one. The body was charred
from head to foot, the clothing al
most entirely burned off and even
the shoes completely burned away.
Coroner Markely was absent from
the city yesterday afternoon and the
poice took charge of the body.
Mrs. Dempsey was the mother of
the late DIR. Dempsey. There are
three surviving children, Mrs. Will
