EFFORTS TO SECURE PROPER
PUNISHMENT OF MAYeRAY..
TIES FAILS.
WITH ONE OF RlNGLEApERs
Davenport Officers Fail to Hold Men
Fined in Federal Court and State o.
ficiaIs Lose Their Quarry-Eucca.
nsers of Finance Still Able to Para
lyze Arm Of Law.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. THAT the far
famed buccaneers Of finance, the Ma
Nrayites. are still able to paralyze the
arm Of the law in Iowa was demon
strated again this week in a manner
which leaves little doubt that at least
the end of the story Of the Mabray-
swindle has not yet been told.
Five members Of the gang were
this week taken to Davenport to plead
to federal indictments. Some Of then.
were connected with the little game by
roll of $S7,5O0, the biggest haul of
the whole game. Three were given
fines Of $500 each and two were fined
that sum and given short Jail SEN
fences Those who were merely fined
raid their fines and disappeared
One Of these, Corners, is one of the
original gang, one of the very ring
leaders Of the outfit, even more con-
spicuous in it than Mabray himself.
He is also under indictment in the
state courts, the same as was Dobbins,
for alleged violation of the state law
against swindling.
State Outwitted.
1t became known here on Monday
that the plan was to have Corners
plead guilty and pay light fine at
Davenport; and Immediately Attorney
General Cosson sent Assistant Attor-
new General John Fletcher to Council
Bluffs to arrange to have Corners ar
rested and held for trial on the state
charge. He did so and the sheriff Of
Pottawattamie county got into tele
phone communication with the sheriff
OF Scott county, prior to the hour set
for the court converting, and notified
him formally to arrest and hold Con-
ners on the state indictment until the
arrival Of a deputy with a warrant.
1t was anticipated that some plan
would be laid for having Corners
square himself with the federal author
tiles and then escape the state author
tiles; and everything was done that
seemed possible to guard against this.
Paid Fines, Disappeared.
But what really happened was that
Corners and the others paid their
little fines and disappeared. All that
is known about it Is that the Daven-
port papers say that the sheriff not
having a warrant for the arrest of
Corners caused him to be Swallowed"
but that he slipped out of the hotel and
went over to Rock Island before the
warrant arrived.
Just where the responsibility lies for
the miscarriage of justice might not
be possible to Fix, but the fact re-
mains that one of the very leaders of
the Mabray gang. one engaged in
sw!ndles which netted many thousands
Of dollars, has successfully evaded any
punishment for his crimes.
Two of those who were arraigned
were given Jail sentences of short
duration, but they are said to be minor
offenders
