dreds perpetrated by the same gang

In a Harlem hotel. in which this
particular gang makes its headquar-
tiers hardly a night goes by in which
some transient guest'is not robbed or
blackmailed by the gangs vampires
who infest the district.
Not always does the victim land in
prison as in this case. Sometimes he
is fortunate enough to be able to raise
enough to satisfy. the gangs, demands.
This may impoveriSh him, but it saves
him from disgrace. Sometimes the
victim is driven to suicide.
Not infrequently when he has been
sucked dry or exposure threatens him
and may involve the gang, he is quiet
ly done away with.
To the efforts of the Burns detec-
tives are due the revelation of such
facts as have been brought to light.
But the Burns detectives are not po-
licemen: their work ended when the
door of the Tombs Prison snapped
shut on the trembling form of young
Schildknecht. Will the police author
tiles take up this case where Burns
has left it and break up the gang

figured. the defaulter would never re-
turn and they would be out of dan
ger.
AS matter of, fact. the William j.
Burns Detective Agency, which had
been retained in the case, was in con-
slant communication with the police
authorities in MenevideO, and the de-
faulter would have been speedily eX
tradited but for. his sudden determi-
nation to return voluntarily to New
York. The gang had ignored all his
pleas for money, figuring that with
out funds he would never be able to
return. but they overlooked the fact
that the lad might be so desperate as
to work hhs way back. That, at any
rate, was what he did, and when he
arrived he was at once arrested by
James w. Carter, the assistant man
ager of the Burns Agency, who had
complete charge of the case, and was
turned over to the New York police
authorities.
1t was then for the first time that
the defaulting cashier learned that
he had been the victim of blaCkmail-
ers.
Subsequent investigation of the
case has brought out the startling in
formation that it was but one of hun

knecht was running two automobiles
one of them a racer, which he en-
tered in the Vanderbilt Cup race. He
had a chauffeur whom he paid $50 a
week, although both he and Effie
could drive the cars themselves.
Every day he drove to his place of
business and at night his auto called
for him.
Last August Schildknecht's employ
ers asked him to select his vacation
date. His peculations had now been
going on for seven months. AS long
as he kept to his desk he felt that he
might keep them on forever. Accord
ingly he told his employers that he
wanted no vacation, but would like to
take half day off every now and
then.
He had began to gamble more heav-
lily. hoping that he might possibly get
back the large sums he had SQuan-
dered and set himself right on his
firms books, but his gambling was
done solely with Efte's friends, of
whom he never entertained the
slightest suspicion, and he invariably
lost.
Last August, through a statement
unwittingly mailed to the company's
head office by clerk who temporar-
lily took Schildknechts place on his
afternoon off, Schildknecht'S defalca-
lions came to light. He was sum
moned before the board Of directors.
Excusing himself for a moment, the
Young man left thp office and AT once
got into communication with his
friends"
Realizing that the cashier had at
last been sucked dry" the gang de-
termined for their own safety to get
him out of the country. They sent
him to Montevideo, supplying him
with funds and assuring him that
while it was unsafe for his wife" TO
accompany him, she would surely fol
low.

these girls are used in a similar
way, particularly in the vicinity of
the hotel in which the gang makes
its headquarters.
The Schildknecht case is a typical
example of the work of this gang.
From an inside source information
has been obtained which discloses
exactly how this boy was led to ruin
and how other men who handle con-
siderable su1ns of money are being
constantly victimized in the same
way.
Schildknecht is twenty-three years
old. He comes from respectable
family of Canarsie, Long Island, his
father having been a respected en-
ploye in Brooklyn savings bank for
years.
Two years ago young Schildknecht
obtained position as cashier with
the Washburn-Crosby Flour Com
pany, millionaire concern. His
salary was $40 a week, his hours
from 8 to ). 1t was his duty to re-
ceive and deposit the daily collections
made by the statesmen of the firm.
These sums aggregated between three
and four thousand dollars a day.
For year Schidknecht managed
to get along very nicely on his $40 a
week. None of the thousands of dol
lars he daily handled for his firm
ever stuck to his fingers.
Last Winter, in company with Il
companion, he entered a well-known
resort on Fortieth street, one of the
most notorious places in New York's
TenderlOin. He was always well
dressed and presented rather a dap
per appearance. He didn't spend
much money from the standpoint of
the underworld but his appearance
and self-pOsseSsed manner might very
well nave indicated that he had
money at his command
At any rate, he was unfortunate
enough to attract the attention of
young woman known in the resort as
Effie Taylor. but whose real name is
Etfie McMinn.
This girl lived at the time in Il
luXuriouSly furnished apartment in
Harlem, maintained for her by man

The poker game was preceded by an
elaborate wine supper, and then the
party adjourned to the card room for
the game. BY means of cold-decks
and other crooked gambling devices
young Schildknecht lost upward of
$1,000 that night.
Now at last Effie was doing some
real work. Three thousand dollars
from Schildknecht tonight and an
other $1,000 tomorrow night, and
again tie next night-that was worth
while. Eftie was at last on the job. If
Schildknecht protested, or had glim-
meringS of suspicion, never mind;
that was the vampires end of the
job to attend to. The main thing to
bear in mind was that this little
cashier had $1,000 passing through
his now guilty fingers every day, and
Effie must see that it reached the
gang.
Frequent poker and crap games fol
lowed this experience. Almost in
variably Schildknecht lost.
For the purpose OF securing more
definite information about him, and at
the same time maintaining closer
watch on all his movements-fOr il
was feared that his peculations might
at any time be discovered and result
in his tiight-the gang resorted to a
very ingenious ruse
Ellie induced him to buy her two
expensive bulldogs. A day or two
after the dogs arrived she explained
that it would be necessary to have
some one take care of the animals, as
her own maid wasn't competent TO
do so.
An advertisement was accordingly
inserted in newspaper and Effie in
terviewed the applicants who re
sponded. The man she selected was
a member of the gang. His position
as member of the Schildknecht
household made the espionage more
complete.
During all this time young Schild-

was taking several
hundred dollars a
day.
When Summer ar
rived some of the
men to whom Effie
introduced him Sug-
gested that he hire a
suite at the fashion
able Garden City Ho-
tel. There Effie be-
came known as Mrs.
schildknecht, and the
couple were soon
spending money Law
lshly.
All this time the
gang for which she
was work in g was
keeping close watch
on S hill d knecht's
movements. Although
from the first Effie
succeeded in extract
ing liberal gifts from
the cashier in the
form of jewels and
money, the gang was
not satisfied. They
knew that he had ac-
cess to large sums Of
money, and t h Y
hungered for it in
large quantities.
The money was not
coming fast enough.
Too much was being
wasted on luXuries-
Effie must make the
victim steal more and
more often; she must
find a way to turn in
large sums to the
leaders of the gang.
They got him to
gamble. Having ex-
cited a passion for
big play in him, they
proceeded to swindle
him on every posi-
Bile occasion. At Oys-
ter Bay, about TWEEN
nv miles from tho
Garden City Hotel,
they fitted up a house
as a gambling house
for the express pur-
pose of swindling the
cashier.
When all the
plans were laid he
was invited to at
tend a special poker
party there. Effie
accompanied h i m,
as other ladies"
were to be there.
