VICTIM or TAR AND FEATHERS
r. {. Bliss, Of Washington, D. c,
Ignominiously Treated.
Bail of $1,000 Each For Three Men
Charged With Assault and Bat
tery-Principals All Reticent.

Washington, d. C. - Instead OF
marrying the girl of his choice in
New York, Frederick e. Bliss, a
prominent and elderly business man,
has been striving to get rid of the re-
mains of coat of tar and feathers
received while calling on his fiancee.
He emerged from retirement long
enough to swear out warrants for the
arrest of James L. White. Charles
Marthenson and Henry c. Cole.
All the principals in the case are
prominent in business and financial
circles, and they have given Wash
ington it's midsummer sensation The
woman in the case, whose name is
not divulged, resides at 1137 Kenyon
street. Bliss, according to his story
is engaged to her, and they were to
have gone to New York to be mar
ried.
The three men who are said to
have tarred and feathered him, Bliss
told the police, we're with the young
woman at the time. When Bliss ar
rived he was admitted to the house
by the basement
he 0lu0Fly SultCT WdS uuUpSu on
the floor, one of his captors sitting on
his chest and arms, while another
perched on his legs. The third WELD
ed brush heavy with tar When the
tarring had been completed a sGfa
cushion was slit and the contents
were applied.
During the proceedings the Mrs.
Bliss-to-be was not in evidence.
Bail in the case of Charles Mar
thenson, Henry G. Cole and James L.
White accused of having assaulted
and tarred F. E. Bliss, Jr. because of
his alleged attentions to Mrs Mar
thenson through hypnotic influence,
was $1,000 in each case. This is dou-
BILE the amount on which the men
were first held In asking the addi-
tional security for the appearance of
the prisoners Assistant United States
Attorney Given said:
so far my Investigations have
shown that the case, that of assault
and battery against these defendants,
Is of such a serious and high handed
character that I must ask that the
bonds be raised
All of the principals were reticent
as to the details of the punishment
which was administered to Bliss. The
victim, who appeared in court,
showed traces of the application of
tar which was made to his face by
the avengers. The glances exchanged
between the quartet were anything
but amiable.

that they had prize fighter by the
name Of Sullivan whom they were
willing to back for any amount. Blair
said they were in Bridgeport, Conn,
and that Sullivan was with them. He
then unfolded a scheme by which
he and Holznagel were to win $780,
900 from the "Cudahys." He
said that he knew prize fighter in
Boston, Collins by name, who could
defeat Sullivan. Holznagel agreed
that it was an easy way to get money
and the prize fight was arranged,
Holznagel put up $4,000 as his por-
tion of the bet. Blair furnished the
other $4,000. The "Cudahys''
backed Sullivan for $4,000. The
fight was pulled off in the Bridgeport
Fair Grounds. Of course Collins
lost, but Blair declared it was on a
fiuke, and begged Holznagel to back
him for another fight.
Got $4,000 More.
The "Cudahys" offered to bet three
to one on the second fight, and Holz-
nagel hurried to Scranton to secure
more money. He returned with $10,-
900, which he put up on Collins, and
again he lost 1t was at this fight
that $230,000 was bet, Blair ostensi-
bly, making wagers amounting to
SIS, 900.
After the fight the "Cudahys''
turned the money over to Blair, their
secretary, telling him to deposit it
and send checks to the winner Blair
then made proposition to Holznagel
that they run away with the money.
He told Holznagel to go to Albany,
to the Ten Eyck, where he would
meet him and divide. Holznagel
went, but Blair failed to meet him,
and Holznagel came to New York
and consulted Lawyer John NJ Cole
man, of No. lis Broadway, who laid
the matter before District Attorney
Jerome. Holznagel was taken to the
Rogue's Gallery, where he identified
the pictures of Frederick Gondorff
and James Morgan, alias Deafy Nor
ris, as the two men who posed as the
Cudahys. The arrest of Gondorff
followed, and he was identified by
Holznagel as one of the band.
The arrest of Gondorff Immediate
ly led the police to connect the men
of the band with the Walker swind-
lers. His brother, Charles Gondorff
was arrested shortly after Walker
fight, and was charged with having
been party to the swindle, which
looted the New Britain Bank. Charles
Gondorff was held for trial and after
ward was released on $25 900 bail
furnished by Bob" Nelson. He is
now running gambling house in At
lantic City.
Walker, however, refused to impli-
cate any one in his stealing. He said
that he did not remember the names
of the men VINO swindled him. His
taciturnity destroyed the last hope
the Pinkertons had of recovering the
money. Frederick Gondorff's arrest
however, has changed the prospect
and it is now believed that the $120,-
900 in bonds may be recovered.

New York City.-Swindling opera
tions which have netted more than
$1,000,000 a year for the last three
years will be revealed, the police be-
lieve, through the capture of Freder-
ick Gondorff.
Gondorff was arrested on the
charge of having swindled Frederick
Holznagel, a Scranton hotel proprie-
tor, out of $4,000 on a fake prize
fight, and it is said the evidence will
implicate him in the robbing of Will
lam F. Walker, who looted the New
Britain Savings Bank of more than
$5O0,000.
At the examination in the Tombs
Court every effort will be made to
have Gondorff held on the complaint
of Holznagel, in order to give the de-
tectives an opportunity to locate the
band of swindlers. Although using
Holznagel's charge to hold Gondorff,
the detectives of the Central Office
are after much bigger game, in the
shape of bonds, valued at 100000,
which were part of the loot stolen by
Walker from the New Britain bank.
These bonds, consisting of $4,000
of Chicago and Eastern Illinois Rail
road securities, $4,000 of Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul bonds, $15,-
900 Rochester and Pittsburg bonds
and q number of other smaller par
cells, have never been disposed of,
and it is declared that they are still
in the possession of the members of
the swindling band to which Gondorff
is suspected of belonging.
Band Had Immense Resources.
The immense resources of this band
is illustrated by the story of Holzna-
gel, who declares that, while they
were duping him, they made flash
of $230,000. He says that this was
in genuine currency and not stage
money, as he personally handled the
cash, and declares that it would have
been impossible to deceive him.
According to Holznagel the swind-
lers pursued the same tactics with
him as they did with Walker. with
the exception that they used the prize
fight game, instead of the wire tap
ping scheme. One of the band, who
went by the name of Webber, stopped
at Holznagel's hotel in Scranton and
gained the boniface's confidence ~ a
legitimate business proposition.
Webber represented himself as a
bond salesman. Holznagel is inter-
ested in some coal lands in Tennes-
see which he is anxious to SELL On
learning this, Webber told HolZnagel
tht ne knew some millionaires who
were also interested in coal lands,
and that he might be able to dispose
of Holznagel's holdings.
The specific millionaires mentioned
were the Cudahys, of Chicago. Web
ber, after some correspondence, ar
ranged a meeting with "Mr. Cuda-
hy's secretary" by the name of
Blair" 1t was while the business
of disposing of the coal property was
being discussed that the swindling
game was broached. Blair said that
