ADMITS FRAUD
IN HORSE DEAL
Arthur Chambers Says Employer
Taught Him To Be Dishonest-Gets
Year In Workhouse.

Not less than one year and not more
than 10 months In the Detroit House
Of Correction was the sentence i'm
posed, Saturday afternoon, by Judge
Connolly on Arthur Chambers, con-
victed OF defrauding Henry Thyson,
BEDFORD farmer, In connection. with a
horse deal. Chambers made a clean
breast Of the manner In which inno-
cent farmers are victimized In Detroit
by certain horse traders. Because of
this confession the court was lenient
with Chambers, It having been the in
tention OF the Judge TO give him the
limit. Ave years.
II am guilty of defrauding Thyson,"
said Chambers, but | didn't deceive
him OF my own volition. l did II on
the advice OF w. r. W. Moore, by
whom l was employed. I knew moth
ing OF the tricks OF horse traders
when I went to work for Moore. three
what was wrong In horse deals at the
bidding OF Moore. l got 10 per cent
In all sales where there was no law
trouble. and when there was trouble
In the courts l got nothing.
The scheme Of defrauding was
this: When sold horse which was
not as represented, Moore would after
ward go to the purchaser and con-
vince him that he had been 'bulled;'
that Is, he would tell the purchaser
that the horse was not sound, and that
he had been tricked.
I'm this way the purchaser would
often let Moore have the horse for
much less than he paid for It, Some
times the purchasers have made COM
plants In the courts, as Mr.. Thyson
did against me, but IN lots on instances
they went homo and said nothing. In
the present instance l wanted to re-
turn Mr.. Thyson's money to him, but
Moore told me not TO do 1t; to stand
up and make q Tight. He also said
that he would see me through; that
he would provide counsel for me and
see that I got out Of the trouble all
right Instead Of that he has done
nothing for me; he didn't set counsel
for me and has not como near me.
II am much surprised e the way he
used me, for ! trusted him implicitly,
even more than I did my mother She
told me that I would some day land
In jail because Of my dealings with
Moore. but paid no attention to her
advice. I'm sorry now didn't

Chambers told the court that he
didn't confess with the idea of get
ting leniency; he simply wanted to
tell the truth In the matter.
Judge Connolly said he was glad
to hear the truth from Chambers, and
hoped that the confession would re-
suit In stopping the crooked work in
horse deals, he said. which, had given
Detroit a bad reputation throughout
the agricultural districts.
in view of the confession OF Cham
bers, the procedure Of the prosecution
