Llers came. according to a Day

According to the story, Croker is
the "debOnaire young man" who fas-
cinated Mrs. Regina Klipper of Phil
adelphia, fascination that cost her
$500.
Croker is said to have met Mrs.
KIipper in a Broadway, dance parlOr.
, He accompanied her to her home in
Philadelphia and lived there three
days, according to the story. In Phil
adelphia he is said to have met DOC"
Donahue and George Irwin, alleged
brains of the gang, and, to have
boosted to them Of his conquest of
the woman.
Then" said The Day Book infor-
mant, Irwin told him Mrs. Klipper
was worth plenty of money and sug-
gested a shakedown. Croker was
willing and took the woman for
trip to New York, where they regis
tered at a hotel as man and wife. The
next morning Irwin and another man
broke into the room, representing
themselves as govt agents. They
accused the couple of violating the
Mann act. The woman broke down
and offered them money to hush it
up. She wasn't wealthy as they be-
Iieved and could only scrape together
$500, but she threw in her jewels.
Irwin and the other fellow split
The money and gave the jewels to
Croker. When Crocker went to sell
them he found they were "phony."'
He made a squawk for. scUt-in on
the $4,000, but Donahue and Irwin
gave him the laugh. That made him
sore. Later he went to Palm Beach !
and got in a jam and doc" Dona-
aue and Irwin refused to help him. |
"Crocker landed in Chicago dur

broke. He tried to make a touch |
from Donahue and Irwin, who were
also here. When they turned him |
down he went to the dent of Justice !
