Great SwindIinq Combine.
With the conviction of these defendants
the government believes it has broken Up
tne most monumental swindling combina-
ton that has ever operated. Statistics
nave been gathered that show the receipts
OF the combination since its organization
ABOUT ten years ago, exceeded S5,00OO00.
the success of the government in bring
ing the defendants to trial was largely
due to the capture, when Maybray was
arrested, of a trunk found in his home
Which, II was later aseertained, contained
a complete documentary record of the
transactions of the combination for four
years. A loose leaf pocket ledger was
one Of the documents thus secured. IT
contained the names and addresses of over
200 persons who had acted as go-betweens
IN various transactions. They lived in
nearly every state in the Union.
There were fourteen branches in vari-
Gus parts of the country, all operated
from one city. The headquarters were
moved from time TO time, as the leaders
came under surveillance of the authori-
ties. Foot racing, wrestling, prize fight
ing, horse racing and wire tapping were
