ACCORDING TO A CONFESSION
MADE BY TWO MEMBERS OF
ALLEGED SYNDICATE.
EIGHT CAUGHT IN RAID
DENVER "HUSH MONEY" REPORT.
ED CAUSE OF KILLING IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago. - Confession has been
made by two members of the alleged
syndicate of blackmailers, eight of
whom are under arrest here, that op-
erations of the swindlers have netted
them $1,000,000 within the last year,
federal officials announced.
The confessions, it was declared,
disclosed that the alleged band num-
bers at least sixty-a third of whom
are said to be women-young, pretty
and crafty.
A dispute over the division of the
spoils, it was said, lead to the confes-
sions. Arrest of a score or more
members of the syndicate is expected
within a week.
The men who confessed are Dick
Barrett and Edward J. Thompson, ac-
cording to Hinton c. Clabaugh, head
of the Chicago Bureau of the Federal
Department of Justice. Both are at
liberty, he said. They will become
witnesses for the government, how
ever, when the eight members of the
alleged syndicate, arrested in raid
on a fashionable apartment hotel, are
brought to trial.
Murder was added to the crimes
charged against the society swindlers
of the international blackmail syndi-
cate. One of the Secret Service oper-
ativeS at work on the case said that
the murderer was believed to have
operated with the polished swindlers
and their beautiful women accomplices
in Chicago last summer.
The killing was that of Frank
Hughes Turner, who, it is said, also
was confidence man, by James
Brown, alias Wilson, another member
of the lawless fraternity. Turner was
a son of Judge P. A. Turner of Tex
arkana, Ark.
The scene of the crime, which took
place June %, 1916, was a summer en-
campment in Jefferson county, Colo
RADIO, not far from Denver. The Grim
inals, for the time, had dropped their
arduOuS labOrS of their accustomed
business of polite robbery and were
enjoying a vacation encamped by
trout stream in the hills.
One of their last coups had been the
plucking of a Denver man of wealth
by the badger game" Their victim
had been found in compromising sit
uation with a young woman.
They were discovered in a Denver
hotel, it is said, and the victim had
paid the irate husband" $4,000 as
hush money. In the 'pay off" Turner,
it is said, held out 800 on Brown.
Brown did not discover that he had
been robbed by his fellow robber until
several weeks later When he learned
the truth, he hurried to Denver from
an eastern city, hunted up Turner in
the camp of the blackmailers and shot
him dead.
None of the other criminals, it is
said, offered to molest or detain him
and, having killed his man, he drove
back to Denver and took a train back
