Describing his exploits of many years

Describing his exploits of many years ago, he says:
 An elaborate system of forged letters of credit and bills of exchange was planned. Austin Bidman was the ..pen- man. and false letters of credit were readily eashed at banks in Berlin, Dresden, Bordeaux, Marseilles. and Lyons. Ait account was opened a the Bank of England by Bidwell in the name of F. A, Warren and his credit was at that time never questioned. A slight mistake in spelling the word endorse" with ''c" in bill drawn on Buenos Ayres led to questions. and only $5O,0oO instead of $1.000000 was realiz- ed from South America. Then an other tiny mistake ruined if all. A forged bill of exchange drawn on a city firm required two endorsements and only one was provided. had been to be bank of England one morning and drawn 1S,000 pounds in notes and gold. and about midday returned for more money. When I stepped to the counter to my surprise was surround ed by bank clerks and private detec- tives. and arrested. I was remauded twenty-four times-a record number at the Mansion House before I was sentencd with the others. A plan was thought out of escape from the Old Bailey. Warders were to be bribed but there was some muddle. A hundred sovereigns intended as a bribe were upset from bag in their haste and scattered all over the roadway" a

H. J. Gladstone has sfgnified his apprecia- tion of the fact by dedicatine the hook to the present Home Secretary. Noyes' trial cost the Bank of England alto- gether $245.000. After being sentenc- ed the four prisoners shook hands and promised that In order to know what each would be thinking about on particular day they would read a chap- ter of the Bible beginning with the hrst day of the sentence and with the first chapter. It took them HOO days to reach the last chapter. The Anti Gambling crusade which was so suc- seccfully completed in the Uunted States, is to be carried out through out the length and breadth of England.
 Mir. Quinn, 1t is said. was acknowI- edged by the foremost American sharp CTS to be the cleverest of them all. In his time instead of going about look ing for dupes he waited until he found the robbers and himself robbed them At the height of his career he was d wealthy man. now, owing to his self abnegation he is comparatively poor To him MT. Moves owes his conversion
 If they chose these two men could probably make a big income by card sharping, with of course the usual att tendant risks. Instead they prefer to travel this country and by practical and ocular demonstration at lectures arranged under the auspices of yari- ous organized bodies here, prove to tha innoeents the impcssibility of their ever getting the better of the practised sharper.
 Every conceivable description of gambling machine. the majority having been captured from gambling heIls both in the United States and on the Continent, is produced to prove the crookedness of the gahmblerss game. and to show that in the hands of an experienced operator the man who stakes his money cannot hope to win.
