o. 0. NEWBERRY.
MADE A "NIKE"
Study of Personality Of the Argyle
Man Who Was swindled of
Large Sum in Fake
Sporting Events
HOW HE LOST HIS wAD
Tells in Humorous Way How He
Parted With Large Roll Of the
Green, But He Does Not
Seem to Mind 1T.

Q. o. Newberry, the big man from
Argyle, who owns or has owned every
thing up the Des Moines river as far
as Ottumwa, was very entertaining
witness in the Maybray case. Speak
ing of his personality and telling
story of human interest, the Omaha
World Herald says:
The recital of how the swindlers
got their crowbar into the pocketbooks
of the Mikes, is becoming a bit mo-
notonous in the 1faybray trial at Coun-
ell Bluffs, but there is wing clause
in the study of the personality of the
victims.
One effect OF the trial cannot fail
to be bad, as it is being clearly dem
onstrated that an unfortunately
large number OF the citizens of this
great republic are fairly screaming
for somebody TO come and rob them.
Possibly the most gorgeous speci-
men of this type is o. o. Newberry of
Argyle, Iowa. Mr. Newberry lives
almost under the shadow of the Fort
Madison penitentiary, but what he
does not know about crime and
criminals would fl a big thimble
He recited his story yesterday after
noon and before he got through there
was hardly a person in the crowded
court room who was not fercely com.
batting an impulse TO go out and build
q swindle factory.
Mr.. Newberry was escorted over to
Wilkesbarre. Pa, peaceful Quaker
hamlet on the Susquehanna, and a
wrestling torpedo was exploded IN
der him. 1t blew $4,000 worth of good
old Iowa agricultural effort out of him,
but that only whetted his appetite for
excitement He sent home for another
$4,000, which he promptly put up for
another match X took three days for
Newberry TO get up to the point Of let
ting go Of the first $4,000. but he said
farewell to the $4,000 installment the
very afternoon 1t reached Wilkesbarre
The "millionaires" were so busy that
they could not spend more time there
and the match was put on as soon as
the money arrived.
did YOU lose anytime beside the
s13,000?" was asked him.
THAT and my expenses was the
reply.
81 thought you sid these other
fellows were going to pay your ex-
penses?"
We'll, they We're, but didn't want
to be mean with the boys. They had
taken pains to show me a good time
and paid the expenses myself The
boys seemed to take fancy to me.
and told me they liked my face. And
they We're church-going people, too. or
they said they were"
Just think of money being allowed
to go away from home with no more
protection than that,
NeWberry's Testinny.
Newberry told of the successful eff
forts of Ed Leach and Tom Robinson
to land him. He seemed to tickle the
defendant, Maybray, immensely when
ne said the steerers told him that
the millionaires were real sports,
and enjoyed losing their money as
much as they did winning it, and
that it would be a shame to let 1t all
get away Telling about the betting,
he said there must have been $780,
600 or 100000 of it, as they all had
bricks of money!

wrestler was hurt some one said. I'VE
all ought to be in jail and Newberry
said he wickedly added, I'VE all ought
to be in hi, but I'm going to be true
blue and see you through this
Even as he repeated the awful word
on the witness stand he seemed to get
a smack of the old wickedness, and
he looked at the jury to see if they
recognized in him the real goods.
In ten DAYS he went back to Wilkes
barre with his advisers, taking along
the Greek Demon He did not know
where the Demon came from, but the
name sounded good to him His as
sociates essayed to frame up for the
Demon to lose the first fall end take
the next two, but Newberry said he
told them we don't lose any falls.
There might be an accident
Describing the final match he said
that the millionaires' wrestler picked
UP the Demon and slammed him
down with cruel force. This aroused
the manhood of one of the kind
iiooi leu LhiiiiohaiieSi and ne puileu
gun and pointed it at the offending
wrestler, saying, On you, Harry;
I'll kill you like a dog if lou do such
a thing again"
Why, he was SO mad. asserted Mr..
Newberry, that you could almost see
the bristles sticking up on his neck :"
And then he seemed surprised when
several auditors snickered
AS Newberry left the stand, the
jury seemed to be of the opinion that
the swindlers must have had even
more fun than money out of their en-
terprise.
