IN ATLANTIC CITY SHY
Refuse to Testify and Band Is
Likely to Be Banished Only.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
ATLANTIC CITY, July S.-The seven
men accused of being members of a
blackmailing gang operating In big
hotels here and in several American
cities will be taken before City Recorder
Goldenberg on Monday and banished
from the city. In the belief of James
Malheed, captain Of. detectives. who de-
clared to-day that he was unable to
persuade any victims to testify against
them or to prefer formal charges.
According to the police the black
mailers would meet some man of wealth
at big hotel here who was not averse
to having good time In the absence Of
his wife. They would date the man up
with an attractive woman and then
spring their blackmail demand, backed
usually with a photograph. In some
cases women are said to have been the
victims.
The police are holding the gang pend
Ing word from the authorities of New
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington as to whether they are
wanted in any of those cities on charges.

NINE. VICHAT, WARD OF CITY,
LEFT FORTUNE OF $4,000
Aged Opera Singers Last Years Spent in Hoarding
and Eccentricities, After Life of Romance
Travel and Deprivation.

Nine. Sidonie vichat. who sang in
grand opera with Nine. Schumann-
Heink generation ago. died in a sani-
tarium at Central Islip. L. l., last month";
1t became known yesterday. Stranger
than this fact was the discovery that she
left an estate of approximately $4,000.
after having been city ward. The es-
tate has been found to consist OF bank
books. cash and Jewels tucked away in a
safe deposit vault. Nine. vichat was 70
years old.
Back of the discovery of her modest
estate. which exce,led any hopese of her
two beneficiaries. however, lies the story
of years of self-denial, of eccentricity, of
strange living ultimately for their bene-
fit. and finally of weeks in the City
Home for Aged and Infirm Women on
Welfare Island, where she passed part of
last summer before her commitment to
the Central Isiip institution.
The beneficiaries are a nephew Robert
Stevens, motion picture director. of 525
Minneford avenue. City Island. and his
sister, Mrs. james Crosby, who lives in
He lywood. Cal.
Nine. Vichat In later life lived with
her nephew. Part Of the money which
he gave her and intended for her own
use is now believed to have been
boarded in the bank by the aged singer.
Some, in fact. may have gone into two
trust funds. one OF about $1,000 and an
other Of less than 5000. which have
been left to Mr.. Stevens and Mrs.
Crosby.
In preference to living in the rooms
which were provided for her whenever

she wished to live away from her fam
lily Nine. Vichat was known to have
passed much time in the New York
Central station at 125th street. She
even slept in Railways in that Vicinity,
IL Is said, and when this refuge was
denied her there were parks to which
she went. Her aversion to spending
money for herself finally moved her
nephew to take steps for her better
care. Last August she was at Welfare
Island for several weeks, and later was
sent to Central Isllp.
Her life story as revealed at Welfare
Island was like fiction. She spoke In
some of the six languages which she had
studied in the course OF her operatic
career, told of travels In Europe. and
explained that by marriage she was a
granddaughter of James Fenimore
Cooper.
Her father. she said. was Gen. Brandu
who went to Mexico with Maximilian.
Her husbands family came from Lyons
where she also lived, and where Grand
General Solomon Vichat is reputed to
have married daughter of James Feni-
more Cooper. The novelist was Ameri-
can Consul at Lyons from 1895 to 1929
She also told of having sung with
Schalchi. Lille Lehman and Schumann-
Heink, of having parts in Faust"

DATA FOR GRAND JURY

One of the alternative methods de-
obtain facts about defunct brokerage
houses which refuse to open their books
for his inspection, was tried yesterday
in the case Of E NJ. Fuller & Co., of
Consolidated Stock Exchange. who failed
June 81 for an estimated s5,Ooo,O0o.
Five stock brokers with whom the
Fuller concern had accounts were sub
poenaed and appeared before Benjamin
+. Schreiber. Assistant District Attorney,
and his assistants. The prosecutors
quizzed the men and examined their
records for data that will be presented
to the Grand Jury this week The
names of the brokers who were sub
poenaed were kept secret. Although
Mr.. Schneider made no direct state
ment to the effect, 1t is understood
valuable information was obtained from
them.
Mr. Banton emphasized that his in
vestigation Of the Fuller company has
been hampered by two conditions. First,
the action of the bankrupts, who stipu-
lated when they turned their books over
to the receiver that they should not be
available to the District Attorney, and
second. the fact that many of the COM
piainants against the concern are from
out of town. He makes the request that
any persons living in New York who lost
money through alleged bucketing Of their
orders call upon him at his office.
Although he is certain the firm will
seek a court order restraining him from
seizing the books. yet Mr.. Banton in
tends Issuing a subpoena for them this
week, He said he desired the case to
follow that Of S. S. Ruskay & Co., an
other bankrupt firm, to the higher courts,
as test cases.
Mr.. Banton declared he was glad the
stipulation of their constitutional rights
by Fuller and his partner, Frank Nc
Gee, had received so much publicity, as
II had aroused the public to the in
Justice of the situation and showed how
necessary was his advocacy for some
system of licensing of brokers.
Mr.. Banton said he had suggested once
to the Stock Exchanges that they might
inaugurate policy wnereby as a condi-
ton of membership brokers agree to open
their books to the District Attorney.
But that was no good" he added
Seymour l.. Cromwell, president of the
New York Stock Exchange, threw UP
his hands In horror and shed crocodile
tears at the very thought of It,"
The District Attorney said both the
Consolidated and Curb exchanges had
done everything he has asked of them,
but that the New York body opposed
him In the blocking of his blue sky law
in the Legislature last winter.
