that my agent Mr. Agnew might be glad to talk with him
about securities and values.
And shortly afterward "Agnew" teephoned which

At any rate, as soon as Walker met "Agnew" Billy
and dropped out pretended to be leaving for short
trip to Atlantic City, and Humphreys simply disap-

the affair read long afterward, when Walker had been
caught that he claimed to have been hypnozed In New
York, That is as near as he came TO duplicating
Billy and me.
The rest of it was the familiar psyof wiretapping.

wired that the winning horse had been disqualified
Then they went to place in Fiftieth street, which
Walker told the famous Canfeld's. There he
introduced to the usual crowd of celebrities, in
cluding one-I think it a named Atkinson
who mpersonated Canfeld--won a small bet and lost
big one-when he told that the tip to place his

promised to help him.
And they did. I think Humphreys In on this
part Of it-at least with his advice They took Walker
to the barber shop in the Herald Square Hotel and
barber there who worked with the gang shaved his beard
and mustache cut his hair shaved part in it and
hung patch over eve. The next day he was sent
under escort Cuba and left in little gambling house

but 1t has gone long ago.
And then began to laugh at Humphreys Like
boy with paything he joined the Gondorffs in
keeping Walker out of the hands of the law And he
spent money to do it.
Dr. Fitch had told, when Walker was reported miss
ing, how the banker had come to him for his nervous
trouble And few days later the bankers relatives got
message saying he had been killed by street in
New York When the message was traced it was found
that the original of the telegram in his hand

statement would not be believed.
Meantime, Mr.. Copley, director of the bank Of which

Now, Copey learned that false tip had

From there went north to Portland Oregon and sailed
