fairfield Conrad, the father. re.
celVed letter some time ago advising
him that by calling on the writer he
would receive information as to the
whereabouts of the stolen body. He
called and found Mrs. Locker. She
proved an expert at card reading and
told him enough to convince him that
she was either strong on the mystery
OF the cards or knew much more about
the robbery than she cared to admit
The worried father went to see her
several times and finally was told that
ne would receive letter which would
tell him how he might regain the body
on the payment of $4,000.
The letter came and he was directed
to drive on the Sand Coulee road with
lantern so fastened to the dashboard
OF his buggy that it would shine full
in his face.
A deputy sheriff who resemble
fairfield Conrad, was chosen to take
his place for that night drive.
All directions were followed. ex-
cept that number of officers followed
in the wake of the carriage. Two men
fully armed met the carriage at the
appointed place. One peered into the
deputy's face.
You're not Harfield Conrad" he
said. The other looked and after a
searching glance, held up his gun and
ordered the deputy to drive on in a
hurry, "or you'll get your head blown
off,"
The other officers came up quickly,
but found no traces of the pair nor
were the bloodhounds which were put
on the trail any more successful.
The robbery of the grave took place
in the night of Nov. "a at Highland
cemetery. The dissertation of the
grave and the theft of the child's body
were discovered when a party went to
the cemetary to attend a burial.

MAYBRAY VICTIM LOST $4,000
BITTEN FOR $4,000, PUT UP $4,000
MORE.
Loss of Large Sums of Money on
Fixed Sporting Events
Barred.

| Council Bluffs, March 12.-The gov.
eminent continues to fortify itself
with strong evidence against John c.
| Maybray and his eighteen associates
who are on trial before United States
Judge Smith Mcpherson for alleged
conspiracy to defraud by means of il
legal use of the mails.
Colonel Temple, the prosecuting at,
! torney, featured the testimony with a
goodly supply of documentary evidence
in the way of letters exchanged be-
tween the defendants and their vic.
tins.
It is stated that there are more than
1900 of these letters giving a complete
record Of the transactions of the mil
lionaires' club, including the names and
residence of victims together with the
amounts they lost.
J. H. Secrest, a retired farmer re-
siding at Iowa City, Iowa, furnished
an interesting account of the alleged
operations of the defendants. He first
contributed $4,000 to the millionaires'
treasury and, still satisfied with the
legitimacy of their existence, returned
from New Orleans to his home and Sc
cured $4,000 more which he lost, both
sums going into the pools of fixed
horse races.
"A man giving the name of J. G.
Cramer greeted me in casual way at
a st. Paul hotel" he continued, land
we discussed the possibilities of max
ing some money out of Canada and
other land. A few days later, after I
had returned home, he called up from
Davenport on the telephone and said
he was coming to see me. He ap-
peared the next day and laid before me
an elaborate plan to make some easy
money in New Orleans. refused to
have anything to do with his scheme
but told him I was going to New Or
leans in day or two and then to Tex
as and he declared he would accom-
pany me.
when we reached New Orleans, he
showed me the city and entertained
me in style for a few days. Then 1
was introduced to a man named Mar
tin, whose real name I later learned
was R. B. Hartman. The two con-
tinued their solicitation that l take a
little of the "Sure thing" stock. 1 still
refused, but finally agreed to loan
Cramer $4,000 to go into it. The race
was pulled off and Hartman lost the
money because our jockey had fit
and fell from his horse.
The millionaires said it was not
fair to take our money and stated that
if we would put up $1,000 forfeit, they
would give us another chance in a
week. l wanted my $4,000 back and
went home and raised $4,000 and made
up the balance and we put up the for
felt. Another race was arranged and
kept the betting sheet Nearly $780,
900 was bet on that race and my $4,000
got into the pool some way.
"Our jockey had another accident
and when we picked him up he looked
like he was dead, and 1 thought he
was. Martin told me we would all be
arrested and advised me to return
home, which I did,"
Secrests testimony was only one OF
several similar stories told during the
day. Samuel Suter, of Cass Lake,
Mimi, explained his loss of $4,000,
and Alex Delain of Green Bay, Wis.,,
told of losing $4,000. Zachariah Pier,
pont, of Pawnee, Okla, lost $4,000 on
fixed wrestling match.
