Baltimore, Md.-The death Of Jim
Jordan at the ripe age of seventy five
years in the Johns Hopkins hospital,
has brought to an end the career Of
one Of the greatest and most pictur-
esque swindlers that America has ever
produced. Jordan was not q "yeg''
or "gunman" or 'holdup man." He
played the confidence game in the
early border days, when three-card
monte was the center Of attractions in
the numerous gambling shacks in the
West, and later sold "gold bricks to
the innocent tenderfoots. Toward tho
emu of his career as confidence man
Jordan became a poker shark. He
crossed the Atlantic on the luxurious
ly-equipped liners and never was
averse to play "quist little game"
He made a fortune estimated at mill

Grated as a confidence man, but when
he died he ran true to form and was
broke.

Bill" Jordan soon abandoned the
monte game and went into the broad
er and more lucrative field afforded
by the "gold brick" industry, and rose
step by step to be one Of the most sue
cessful poker sharks that operated on
transatlantic liners plying between
New York city and European ports.
Jordan had a close call on the ILL
fated Titanic, which was destroyed at
sea several years ago. The swindler
had been booked for passage and
would have sailed had not the steward
discovered his identity.
Jim killed two and perhaps three
men in the early days of the West.
