Behind the swindling of the gang
is the story of wealthy old mems de-
sire for young and beautiful women
and rich married women's desire for
handsome young men to play with
while hubby is busy clipping con-
pOns.
William Butler, one of the mem
beers of the alleged syndicate, explain
ed his ideas on the workings of the
gang in this manner to Hinton G.
Clabaugh, local agent of the dept of
justice:
you have an idea my conscience
bothers me? Not a bit. Why should
it? I rob men who can afford to be
robbed-men who pose as religious,
highly moral, eminently respectable
members of society. They are 'whited
sepuIchers.' They give me their mo-
ney because they are afraid l will ex-
pose them for exactly what they are.
They are. shams. At heart they are
as bad as 1 am-WOrse, think, be-
cause 1 sail under my true cOlOrs.
They are crooks"
The alleged members of the gang
caught in the raid on the fashionable
Grand blvd. apartment building and
now held under bonds aggregating
S25O,OOO are: Edward (''Doc") Don
ahue, Mrs. Edw. DOnahue, Mrs. Helen
Evers, alias Mrs. Geo. Brown; Henry
Russell, James Christian, alias H J.
Cross; Geo. Bland and Mrs. Frances
Allen.
CIabaugh has been on the trail of
the gang since the case of Mrs. Re
gina A. Klipper, Philadelphia wom-
an. came to the attention of the dept
of Justice. Mrs. Klipper was shaken
down for $500 after becoming in
voIved in an affair with handsome

whereabouts of the gang in the Ty-
son apartments. Russell has been
seen frequently in the company of
Mrs. Noel Loeb, young wife of a
prominent southern physician. It is
believed the gang was preparing to
blackmail her.
Pretty young women, some of
them ex-chOrus girls, and men, many
Of them college graduates, were used
as bats for the gang. The girls play
ed the biggest and most fashionable
hotels. In. Chicago their hunting
grounds were said to have been the
Congress and the Hotel Blackstone.
The girls drew their victims into
compromising situations. Many of
them were trapped in the girls rooms
in negligee attire. At the psyche
logical moment the girls confeder-
ates would appear and represent
themselves as govt agents. Arrest
was threatened The victim, fearful
of publicity, would come across"
The lure of the tango and the fox
trOt were used by the gang to trap
women. The young fashion plates
would frequent the tea dances,
spread the impression they were the
sons of wealthy men and begin their
search for prey.
A Irritation with wealthy married
women would take place. Then would
follow dancing and expert lovemak-
ing. The woman would become in
fatuated. The man would persist in
his aVOwals of love until the woman
would forget her marriage and place
herself under the schemer's control
Then the shakedown would take
place.
