II took Theodore Horning, q rain.

young man from Royal Oak. Mich,
to accomplish the downfall and incar-
ceration OF couple OF smooth per.
sons. whom the police allege bslone
TO the gentle CRATER class.

nephew OF the renowned Chadwick.
and who makes pretty fair Iivink
by peddling the family jewels around
the land, to gullible individuals, IL
one or the arrested men. Harvey n. 4
Nelson. a large gentleman Of EASY
appearance, who says he is horse.
man with an inflated bank-roll, is the
other. M
That Chadwick and Nelson had
their anxious eyes on the Horninx
bankroll OF some $1,000, Is the con.
tention of the police. The pair tried
to induce the Royal Oak man "a
leave with them for the track at Forkl
Erie, PA. He was to take with him
letter OF credit or q New York draff
for at least $4,000. The three were
to make a fabulous fortune at Fort
Erie out OF an imaginary horse that
had the reputation OF going q mile
In little less than nothing.
But Horning was too wise. In
place OF taking the train To Fort
Erie, as they had expected, the two
men walked into the Pontchartraiu
Hotel, Saturday morning. to confront
Detectives Fox and Steinhebel. who
led them to Central police station.
Chadwick met Horning q few weeks
ago. when the latter was In Detroit
booking mp some real estate PROPOSE
tions. Chadwick learned that Horninr
was the possessor OF $4,000 and he
Immediately set about figuring the
simplest ways and means OF separate
ing Horning from his bank account.
DO you do much gambling7" ask.
ed Chadwick, curing confidential
chat.
20, sometimes sit In with the
boys In game Of pitch" replied
Horning.
Il mean on the races. said Chad
"Once in while bet 80 cents ol,
the nags at the state fair, repIied
Horning.
Chadwick then told HIS new.found
friend of Mr.. Nelson, the influential
horseman. who was coming on soon
for the Windsor races. Nelson was 4
fine fellow and would give Horning
some hot tips Nelson came on a.
per schedule and met Horning. Mel
son brought horse with him. bur
Horning never saw II.
Nelson then unfolded a wonderful
tale OF how a man over In Fort Erie
mad q horse that he was willing 20
bet his shirt on. The Fort Erie per-
son was a millionaire mine owner.
said Nelson, and never though OF col
lecting less than $4,000 every time
his pet horse ran.
Now there was another man, en-
ployed by the millionaire mine owner.
This other man knew that there war
not q chance for the millionaire's
horse to win from Nelson's horse.
Horning was to 60 on to Fort Erie
to bet $4,000 on Nelson's horse. The
money was to be advanced by the
man employed by the millionaire
mine owner. OF course, II would
never do for the mine owners man
to bet against his boss horse.
Previous to the Matching OF this,
grand little plan, young Horning had
grown wise and he confided his'
suspicious to the police.
Just before the time arrived for.
the departure to Fort Erie. Nelson
and Chadwick mentioned quite In
cidentally that IT would be well for
Horning to bring about $1,000 with
him. Nelson promised to do 90, but
he didn't draw his money from the.
Royal Oak bank.
Detective Tom Lally Immediately
recognized Chadwick when he was
brought to the police station. The po-
lice have no evidence against the
pair. which can be used to prosecute
them, but both will be ordered out.
OF town. They will be held In Detroit.
for few days to see II they are
wanted In any other cities.
