! Tragedies Of ruined gamblers are
more frequent at Monte Carlo than
people outside the famous gaming re-
sort can guess. but for obvious rea-
sons the authorities make great ef-
forts to hush up these Affairs, and in
most cases they succeed.
In the case OF julius Kardos, the
well-knowni Hungarian painter. who
committed suicide when he had lost
every cent he possessed, and more be-
sides, the version given out was that
he had shot himself in a Nice Hotel.
But the real facts. which have Just
leaked out. were much more sensa- :
tional. Here Is the true and tragic
story:
Kardos had been losing heavily and
continuously, and one morning he
found himself absolutely penniiess To
avoid the possibility Of scandal. the
Casino authorities offerd Kardos $500
to leave the place, which he refused.
With some more money which q Hun
garian noble loaned him. the gambler
desperate resumed play with the hope
OF retrieving his losses. He took his
seat at the roulette table between a.
young American woman and French
beauty.
He began with small stakes, but los
ing perssstentiy. be became more and
more agitated. When his last coin had
gone. the ruined man took a revolver
from his pocket. and fred into his
mouth.
His dead body fell across the lap OF
the Frenchwoman. who tainted. 9th
er women screamed. and attendants
rushed forward to remove the body.
Everybody who had been playing in
the room left IT huriediy. but within
half an hour play was resumed by a
