ear-marks of the other schemes OF the
debonaire brokers whose operations
caused such a sensation in Chicago
some years ago.
Hunts chief claim to notoriety was

bank failure, his escape to New York.
his long drawn out fight against ex-
tradition and, finally, his journey to the
Joliet penitentiary.
Hopkins, who is now under lndict-
ment once more for his connection with
the present scheme, probably is as pic
turesque a figure as ever strode La
Sale street. Before his first failure he
was credited with squandering several
fortunes in gay living. Incidentally, he
deserted his wife and family.
Hopkins Was Stock Seller.

Monday, he was again selling the stock

With a few days Assistant District
Attorney Robert w. Childs. who is in

There ii was said that he was out of
