DETECTIVE HlcKEV's STORY.

1.-THE murder Of Chris Berry" said
Detective Hickey, was one Of the

of the Bowery. When at last II began
to clear, the crime was fastened so
conclusively upon one man.. that, had
not developments outside Of the reg
ular investigation interfered, an in
nocent man certainly wonld have been
executed.
"When the body Of Chris Berry. who
was known to everybody In the I'M
derworld, was found lying in the gut
ter at Fifth street at an hour which
was early candle lighting on the Bow
cry, there was not the slightest evil
dence as to the identity Of the muir
derer, although the street at that
time was usually crowded.

ana ne began SUIT against NOiou0i
Wentworth In the courts Of st. Louis
to recover the amount of the check.
1.-THE foxy colonel did not make the
defense Chris expected, but set mp
instead that the check was q forg-
cry. We bluffed It out and the case
came to trial. Chris went on the
stand, told the story Of the game. and
claimed that the $4,000 was given for
money which he had loaned to Went
worth during the play. He told
pretty story, but on the cross-examin-
alton the colonel's lawyer went for
him barehanded. The lawyer had
got some knowledge Of our swindling
trip, and asked questions concerning
the most intimate relations between
Chris and myself. I substanuated
Chris story, but also had to go
through the same searching cross-ex-
animation. After Wentworth had told
his story to the jury about giving an
50. 900 check. which he was willing to
pay. they brought In q verdict against
Chris.
Chris left the courtroom in q white
heat. Ha-didn't say anything to me
till we got to the hotel. Then he new
at me like q tiger and knocked mo
dow1 with the butt Of his revolver.
He accused me Of giving the informa-
ton about our trip to Wentworth's
lawyer. denied It, and said 1t must
have been done by Seymour, who had
disappeared: but Chris had 1t In Tor
me for some reason. and would have
shot me II he had not been interfered
with. As he was dragged away from
me, he said: 1.-THE next time We meet.

well, killed my friend, Chris
Berry, and / see Chris every day, and
I hear his last words ringing In my
ears, Just the same as II 1t was yes
terday on the Bowery, instead Of over
thirty years ago. Chris Berry was a
good fellow, and the finest card sharp

give me points without turning 9 hair.

The business ran so big and we played

that we should make a tour through
the West and South, where we would
have a chance to win bigger stake.
"This just suited me. and. with Sey-

tongue so sweet and persuasive that
Il would coax the bank-roll out OF the
pocket Of Old Mr.. Tightwad himself.
We started West.

mer-up Of business that / ever met. He
was nearly always in the game. and
frequently lost heavily, but, as either
Chris or l got about all there was at
the table in the end, It didn't make
much difference. We pulled a lot Of
money out Of Chicago, but we quit
when we saw that they were putting
ND a brace game on US. We dldn't do
much business then till We got into
81. Louis. Then we struck a game
after we had been there about two
weeks that in the end gave me more
trouble than anything ! ever had be-
fore or since.
Seymour was on the scout all the
time. and he pulled an old cove named
Colonel Wentworth into q private
game in our room in the hotel. Col
,onel wentworth was q very wealthy
cotton planter and q stiR player.

lose. he began to drink. We played
all night, and we coaxed him along
until we had about $4,000 in money,
which he had sent out and borrowed
from time to time. Then he became

DENIES DEAL WITH AGUILA OIL
Transaction with Standard Said to
Have No Significance.

The report yesterday that the Aguila OIL
Company, Of Mexico, had made an arrange
ment with the Standard o.! Company, I'M
der the terms Of which the oil Of the Mexi-
can company would be carried In Standard
Oil boats. was denied by representative
OF Lord Cowdray. formerly Sir Weetman
Pearson, who is the head Of the Agulla
OIL Company. The representative Of Lord
Cowdray said that the report was proba-
bly, based on a recent ordinary business
transaction between the two companies.
The Aguila company has made sale OF
oil to the Standard. as IL would DO to any
customer, and the transaction had no other
significance he said.
Ii was said at the offices or the standard
OIL Company, at No. IS Broadway that the
company had recently purchased some OF
the Mexican OIL which is used for fuel pur-
poses and that II would be shipped here In
Standard Oil bottoms. No other deal had
been made with the Aguila company. 1t was
said.
The Texas Company made an increase Of
/ cent a gallon in the price of gasolene yes
terday. 1T was said at the offices OF the

In the price of gasOlene was contemplated
by that company it would not be on account
OF the Texas Company lead. The standard
would set its own prices. irrespective OF
what other companies might do 1t was
said. Several of the companies have ad-
vanced the price of crude and refined oil
recently,
