the negro is made in n signed article
tor and published in an evening paper
The statement follows. in part:
"Jeffries hired one OF the greatest
detective agencies in the world to run
down the facts. The details gathered
make up complete story OF the most
sordid plot that ever turned fair sport
INTO a sure thing gamble. Possibly
Johnson would have won in any case.
but the clique that handled the betting
fries with the help of men who were
in his confidence, and who had the
run of his camp. They cleaned up a
fortune through betting commissioners
stationed in many cities. In Paris
alone they wagered $4,000 and won
$4,000. In Reno and San Francisco and
Los Angeles and New York their gains
went into tho hundreds of thousands.
The tip for the big killing was
received BY the waiting commissioners
less than twcnty-four hours before the
hght when the gamblers knew that
Jefrics was safe
The first plot was preached in a
back room; the last man necessary
TO its success accepted his part in a
meeting in a Reno alley two nights
before the fight. after having learned
that he could make no more money
with Jeffres and that he could win
! thousands by turning Judas. one man
whose available cash was also secretly
as friendly adviser Of Jeffries during
! the fight"
