Berlin. Dec. 25.
Max Klante, whose name year
ago was a household synonym for
dashing cleverness like that of the
man who broke the bank at Monte
Carlo, is just finishing his fight in
court against thousands OF creditors
whom he had taught to beat the
races.
Klante, who rose within q year
from poor brush maker to sports
man worth many millions because he
apparently had an infallible judg-
ment for picking the winner in horse
races. is now facing charges of pro-
fessional gambling and fraudulent
bankruptcy.
The creditors who will testify at the
trial alone claim 100000 900 marks, while
hundreds more who gathered around the
tables in the gilded cafes where Klante
once reigned as king tell how he
swindled them, for none believed that
the system which had brought showers
of gold to Klantc could fail

Klante. after falling as brush
maker, sold sporting papers in, cafes and
then became photographer, but he
failed in all these attempts. Then he
became a bookmaker in Il small way.
Finally he opened an Office and promised
investors 100 per cent. profit within two
months. With that his luck turned. A
