 This statement was made in the Re- corders Court yesterday afternoon by Tom Jones. alias Tom Brown, a middle aged negro. charged with practicing frauds.
 It will be remembered that the negro was arrested by Day Sergeant Miles Smith on Jefferson Street about ten days ago. It was only after hard struggle that the sergeant succeeded in making the arrest, and, when the pa- trol wagon, bearing the negro. reach ed the station. the negro darted from the door of the Lucille. made his escape and ran two blocks before he was caught.
 Jones had been canvassing the city representing himself to be an agent of q large Chicago establishment, He took orders. received partial payment. but the goods failed to appear. It was at the instance of complainant that the day sergeant arrested the negro. In the Recorders Court, Jones was confronted by a number of witnesses who swore they had paid him money on orders, but had never seen the goods. He had promised that the goods would be shipped but the buy CTS of the articles uselessly put their coin into the hand of the representa- l tive. Jones contended. throughout his trial | that he did not know he was violating the law. His statement was that he was working before Christmas at Fort | Deposit, but that a white man came there and made all sorts of promises to him if he would accept a job to assist in soliciting orders for Sears, Roebuek & Co.
 q tux dc orders an turned de money over ter de white man every day" said the negro on the stand. He tole me he would do de rest. an never wQr- ried I doan know if he ever sent de goods. Tse got a weak mind an he 'swaded me into dis an got me in trouble"
 The negro could not think of the name of the white man, but he said the white man was within a short dis tance of him when Sergeant smith placed him under arrest.
 The negro was fined $5 and costs. An additional case may be brought against him, in which it is alleged that he re- ceived $2 from woman on an order. pocket $1 and gave the woman re- ceipt for $1, signing his name John Smith,"

the time score of gamblers have been
croupiers and bankers bid them come on
quickly and lose their money, and that's
what they do. 1t will be observed by the
gentlemen who are familiar with the great
games of chance that there is no faro and
that poker Is barred
Roulette, Keno and Crap.
The games are confined to roulette, keno
and crap. The reason for this is obvious.
Under the present rules at faro the game
ster has chances of about forty out Of
hundred-that is, the percentage against
him is only sixty. And 1t is very difficult
for any but the cleverest dealer to cheat
at faro with the new paraphernalia, which
calls for new cards at every turn under
wide-open board.
At keno the chances are not even so good
In the players favor, and nobody but a
roulette, because in that there are scores
of ways of cheating the PLAYER.
Crap Is question of luck II the dice
are not loaded, and en- PEASANT there Is
very little crap played aboard this modern
ark. Only when the table sare full to
overcrowding in the keno and roulette room
is crap much sought after. In fact, the
gentlemen who run this game have let
it be known that they regard crap only
a pastime for gamesters of the opposite
color. However, there have been Saturday
nights and Sabbath days In the last few
months when 1t was necessary more than
once to sit down the deck and resort
to this very questionable amusement. On
those nights sometimes thousands of dol
lars were passing across the tables and
sometimes the stakes were as low as 10

ploye, were locked up shortly after IL
O'Clock this morning, charged with assault
upon Lieut.. Smith of the city police force.
Subsequently Bryan was released upon de-
posting $50 collateral
Soon after midnight while Lieut. Smith
was alone in the station house, four men
called, among them the two named. They
inquired of the police lieutenant as TO the
number of prisoners he had. and he re-
sponded that it was none of their business.
They then demanded admittance and upon
being refused. it is said, attempted to force
their way. Lieut.. Smith resisted them and,
1t is said, the intruders assaulted aim. He
knocked down two of them and they all
with the officer in pursuit. He
captured two, and the others, whom he did
not identify, made their escape
The only reason assigned for the attempt
to force entrance to the station house was
that one of the men believed he had a
brother incarcerated, and desired to assure
himself whether or not it was true.
