tim and So Escaped

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-When
Charles GoDdorf was brought before
Judge Swami in general sessions,
Manhattan, to be sentenced for grand
larceny recently, there were two es
pecially interested groups of men who
stood among the spectators. One OF
these groups were men smartly dress
ed, who affected a half air OF non
chalance and even smiled and nodded
smilingly at Gondorf as he was being
marched to the bar. These were men
OF Broadway--in the parlance,
sports, most OF them men who
would face embarrassing situations
II IL were demanded OF them-the
source OF their incomes, the financial
origin OF their finely tailored clothing.
The other group was harder. less
"nattily' dressed, some of them with
big. square-toed shoes And they
watched Gondorf's march to the bar
with studious eyes.
When the sentence of from five TO
10 years had been passed upon the
man and he was actually led away
with handouts on his wrists, the
smartly-dressed group faced each 9th
er with lifted eyebrows and then
mournful mods, and then, with half.
apprehensive chances at the court of
ficers, stole out of the room. The 9th.
er group turned also to stare at one
another and then slowly to smile.
Apparently neither group could
quite credit what they had witnessed
King" Gondorf actually netted and
led away to go to felons cell
The first company Of men were
Gondorf's friends, some OF them his
pals" comrades or disciples in his
realm OF crooks de luxe. The other
group were detectives. Both had SO
often seen Gondorf arrested, had SO
often seen the outlook appear dark
that not even his conviction by jury
could convince them that in the end
Gondorf was not going to slip the
net OF the law. But, with their own
ears they had heard Gondorf's lawyer
make a plea for clemency before
Judge Swami, which signified that
King" Gondorf. international bunco
man, who with his coterie. including
his brothers Frederick and George
and their numerous satellites. had
gathered for nearly quarter OF a
century fortunes from the gullible,
had given up the fight; plea that
suggested no proposition OF appealing
TO higher court for possible re
versal OF the jurys verdict and the
judges sentence. Still the spectators
had looked for a last-minute move by

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 26.-W. c. Tay.

the past year in jail.
This statement, startling as II is,

ton OF being the sole inhabitant OF

from Boise. He is mayor, council,
jailer and hotel keeper all In one,

Speaking OF his peculiar quarters,
Mr. Taylor said
The remains of the ephemeral
mining camp of Graham consist OF
the hotel, three saloons, a smoke
house, the old mill and the Jail. All
the other buildings have fallen into
decay. The village is about thirty
years old and was of mushroom
growth at best, except the Jail, which
was built of logs. lined with planed
boards.
The Jail has two rooms. My room

ebut they tell me that million and
half dollars were dumped into that

days. Some of the old pioneers

Adams, having been picked up by
one of the Gondorf agents at a New
York Motel. was induced to come TO

which were handed out by his new
found friend. q jeweled. handsomely
dressed man who was known as the
betting commissioners for million

but when his friends" gave him a tip
to plunge ON he SHE'D. They then
scornfully told him that they believed
he was a "piker" "tin horn"--that
he wasn't the man of the calibre he
represented. He Indignantly denied
this, and TO prove II displayed roll
OF English bank notes To the tune OF
about $4,000.
Now. ordinarily, the ''tappers"
would have waited for him to lay the
bet. Then raid" would occur. Fake
policemen would rush In upon the fake

victim would be so glad to get out or
