UP AGAINST THE GAME.
Gordon Williams Bets Twice on the
Shell 0ame-and Loses.

smell 06mS-6uO AOSC9s
Watch me closely, gentlemen; then put
your money on the shell which contains the
pea"
That was the cry that attracted Gordon
Williams, colored, at the Benning race
track yesterday. He did not need to pay
81 to go inside and turn his money over to
the bookies; this game was played on the
outside of the gates. Williams watched it
several times, and he could see the opera
tor place the pea under shell and saw per-
sons making money. He reasoned to him
self that here was the golden opportunity.
He distinctly saw the pea placed under
the right-hand shell-he thought-and 1t
was certain that If he put his money on
that shell, he would make big profits. It
was so simple that he decided to put up s.
on the try Up went the money on the
right hand shell. 1t was almost shame to
bet In such a game, where he knew what
the outcome would be. But he needed the
money.
But the pea was not to be seen when the
right-hand shell was picked up. 1t was un-
der the middle shell. Williams rubbed his
eyes and looked again. He had been fooled
once, but he didn't proposed to be fooled
again. He watched the man closely and dis
tinctly saw where the pea was placed Ills
money was not holding out so he put up
diamond ring. This time he was positive
he would win. But the ring wasn't up on
the right shell after all, and Williams
lost it.
Then Williams reported to the police that
he had lost the money and ring, and Pollce-
man Vermllion of the first precinct, who
was detailed to the races. waited for the
operator of the shell game" to pass 10th
and H streets northeast When he came
along, he was arrested. At the station
house, the prisoner gave his name as vii
liam Gliding. On him were found shells
