who was known there as John Taylor.
Taylor, as a matter of fact, was
Nicholas Vaccarelli, brother of the
notorious Paul Vaccarelli, otherwise
known as Paul Kelly, leader of the
Paul Kelly gang, said to have been
disbanded, but which is, nevertheless,
still in existence and stronger and
more active than ever.
Effie Taylor is soft-spoken South
ern girl, rather pretty, neatly dressed,
a decided blonde and with very fesci-
mating ways about her. She was
fitted in every way for the function
she was engaged to fill in the resort
in which young Schildknecht hap
pened to enter on the night in queS-
ton. In other words, she was there
to appraise the men who entered the
place and to select the most likely
victims for the gang to which she be-
longed to blackmail.
On this particular night the most
promising victim in the place seemed
to be young Schildknecht. He had
the appearance of a bank clerk, and
bank clerks make excellent material
for this sort of work.
Bank clerks and cashiers draw
small salaries, but they handle thou
sands of dollars every day. Some
times these clerks are deliberately
cultivated and lured into the clutches
of the vampire women of the gang
More often the vampires who tiutter
about the resorts Of the Tenderloin
select their own prey, and slowly but
skilfully enmesh them in net of dis
grace and dishonesty and deliver
them over to the real leaders of the
gang.
IntroductionS are not absolutely es-
sential in resorts of this character
Within fifteen minutes after Etfie had
first laid her eyes on young Schild-
hnecht and decided that he would be
IA promising prey she was at his table
and drinking his wine.
Very cleverly the girl toyed with
the young cashier, teasing him about
his stinginess, but cleverly conveying
the impression that she was very
much captivated with him. Flattered
by the girls attentions, which he was
more or less at loss to understand,
young Schildknecht asked for an op-
portunity to meet the girl again. He
was accommodated. Night after night
he frequented the resort or similar
places to meet the girl.
The acquaintanceship soon ripened
into very close friendship, Schild-
knecht becoming more and more in
fatuated with the girl. FooliShly he
had invited his own undoing by rep
resenting from the first that he had
very responsible position with a
millionaire concern. While his salary
was not very large at that time, he
explained, he hoped for early promo
ton.
Having satisfied herself that Schild-

w "a rag, a bone and a hank
of hair" he might well have had in
mind Miss Fife Taylor of New
York, for she is a vampire.
Young John Schildknecht is in
the Tombs Prison awaiting trial. He
was twentydollar-a-week cashier
for large New York firm. Through
the wiles and Establishments and in
genious devices of Miss Fife Taylor
this young cashier was induced to
steal $4,000 or more from his en-
ployers in less than year.
But it is curious fact that the
vampire did not get this money. The
startling truth is that Effie Taylor
was the hired employe of gang of
human vultureS who make it their
business to pray upon the weakness
of young men who hald positions of
trust throughout New York City. Efte
Taylor was the bait upon the hook
which caught young Schildknecht.
The money he stole was passed over
by her to her wretched employers.
The story behind the scenes of how
young Schildknecht was deliberately
entrapped and driven to ruin by the
vampire and the Vaccinations of the
gang who employed her casts a light
into one of the darkest corners of
New Yorks underworld.
This newspaper has frequently re-
vealed how the underworld lays its
traps to catch honest bank clerks,
cashiers. treaSurerS and unSuSpecting
business men and lure them to ruin
and suicide.
There are several gangs in New
York underworld engaged in this
profitable industry. They use good
cooking, clever-Spoken girls as decoys
to entrap men who handle large sums
of money. Having selected their vic
i'm, these girls, like the human YAM
pires they are, proceed to bleed him
until his only escape lies in suicide or
State prison.
The youthful cashier, Schildknecht,
as already stated, is now in the
Tombs Prison awaiting trial. The
gang responsible for his plight is
still at large. Will the people make a
serious effort to break up the gang?
This particular gang consists of an
inner circle of ten and an outer circle
of twenty or thirty gorillas. Only the
ten comprising the inner circle are
taken into the confidence of the
leader of the gang and know just
what enterprises the gang is en-
gagged in.
The twenty or more gorillas who
make up the outer circle are simply
employees who do just what they are
told to do. 1t may be a robbery or
an assault or a murder. 1t may be
just an ordinary gang fight 1t may

last December. At first twenty or
thirty dollars day answered his
purposes. The more he spent on Fife,
however, the more she seemed to like
him, and he began to steal larger
sums. His system of defalcations
was so cleverly devised that he knew
that he could cover it up for months
without being discovered.
Soon he was allowed to share the
girls apartment in Harlem. Then
he bought her an automobile for
S2,250. Within month after he stole
his first dollar from his employer he
