was correct. From those who travelled

He charged that since the Demo.

CHICAGO COPS
ARE INDICTED
FOR FRAUDS
TRUE BILLS ARE RETURNED
AGAINST COUPLE OF POLICE
MEN AND DETECTIVE, cHARG-
ING CONSPIRACY TO OBTAIN
MONEY BY FRAUD AND BRIB-
cry,
BY ASSOCIATED PREss.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 5.-Indi ctments
were returned today naming two po
lice officers and a former detective in
volved in the graft" confessions of
Barney Bertsche and the brothers,
Frank and James Ryan. The defen-
dants, charged with conspiracy to OBJ
tain money by fraud and with bribery,
are Captain James J. Halpin, Lieuten-
ant John Tobin and former detective
Walter O'Brien.
O'Brien was dismissed from the
force six months ago for alleged COM
plicity in the protection of persons en-
gagged in clairvoyant swindles con-
Quoted by the Ryans.
Bertsche is said to have confessed
to States Attorney Hoyne a month
ago, duplicating the policemen indicted
and others not yet formally named in
court proceedings and the Ryans.
Bertsche is said to have admitted
himself the go between in the payment
Of protection money to the police.
"I paid my three and four hundred
dollars a week to HaIpin just like rent.
1t was so regular" Bertsche is quoted
as telling Hoyne.
In the criminal court bonds for the
indicted men were fixed as follows:
Halpin $4,000; Tobin $4,000;
O'Brien $4,000. Talking with report
ers the defendants asserted that the
confessions did not contain a word of
truth.
The indictments against Halpin
charge: First, that he accepted on Jan
uary /, 1913, $500 from Bertsche in
return for a promise not to arrest
Frank Ryan. reputed head of the
cIairvoyant ring of swindlers and
James Ryan, for crimes they had COM
mitted and were about to commit"
second, that he accepted $500 from
Bertsche to LAY off, while with his
knowledge the Ryans swindled Mrs
EIdowney out of SIS, 800. Games Ryan
and Bertsche are under conviction in
this crime); third that he received
81, 100 from Bertsche on promise not to
arrest the men who fleeced William T.
Kirby out of $4,000 by wire tapping
scheme.
In Bertsche's confessions he states
that the swindling of Kirby, a private
banker. was the work of the clairvoy
ant ring. Kirby's bank failed as a
result of the swindie.
Another angle of the case developed
in the superior court today where Mrs.
Mary Rapp, of Naperville, Ill, filed suit
for the recovery of 1885, which she
alleges she lost through the operation
of the clairvoyant ring AS defendants
she named Bertsche, Tobin, Halpin and
Frank and James Ryan. The swindle,
she alleges, took place February ID,
1913.
The confidence game counts of the
indictments name Halpin, Tobin and
OBrien as recipients of the proceeds
of the Kirby swindle, of the McEldow
ney fraud and 100000 of the money

AN EAST PASS
BOAT is LOST
THE kOKOMO, WELL-kNOWN
CRAFT, AND RECENTLY PUR-
CHASED BY LATE OWNERS,
WENT ON BEACH AND is TOTAL
LOSS.

In its issue of Wednesday, the st.
Andrews Journal prints the following
notice relative to the loss of a vessel
well-known at Pensacola, where the
craft visited many times:
Fishing Vessel Lost.
Last week the Kokomo, a small
fishing vessel, went aground near East
Pass in the night between this place
and Pensacola. The vessel was re-
Gently purchased by Arthur Lewis
from Col. F. NJ. Gideon, repaired and
put into the snapper fishing business.
1t seems that the crew was worn
out with fatigue and went to sleep,
leaving a young man at the helm who
had but little experience in sailing and
he did not know he was near the shore
until the vessel went aground in the
breakers. They could not float her,
so the crew went ashore and later were
picked up by another vessel and
brought to st. Andrews. 1t is thought
the Kokomo will be a total loss
amounting to about 81 900.
