BUSINESS MAN OF JACK
SONVILLE CLAIMS TO
HAVE BEEN ROBBED
ON STEAMER

After arriving on the steamship
Cuba from Havana yesterday and
registering at one of the leading
tourist hotels of the city, w. l..
Hinson, a business man of Jack.
sonville, called up Chief Deputy A.
H. McInnis and requested him to
come to the hotel.
To the officer he explained that
himself and wife had been on
trip to Havana, and that on the
voyage to this city he had been
fieeced by a bunch of con men
aboard the ship. That they had
cleaned him of all his cash and a
diamond ring valued at $4,000.
The men who had the ring were
easily located. They went to the
sheriff's Office and made the claim
that the Jacksonville man owed
them 1885 that he had lost in a
game of some kind and had "soak-
ed" the diamond ring with them
until it was paid. They went to
the hotel and got the ring from
a woman who was registered there,
Deputy McInnis states, and the
ring was left in his keeping until
10 O'clock this morning, when the
victim would have had time 20
wire for money, and would pay the
men the 1886 and get the ring
back. But at 10 O'Clock t.
morning none of the gamestefs
hove in sight and the comp ainant
had not showed up with the money
to redeem the ring.
The legal end of the case was
puzzl;ng since the illegal activities
were on the high seas, a case in
which the sheriff's force had no aus
thority to act. It was not sure
that such case would come under
the jurisdiction of the u. S. Com.
missioner here.
While these subjects were be.
ing debated in the sheriff's Office
this morning, in walks VIM.
Palmer, special agent for the
treasury department of the United
States, and further complicated
matters by stating that this valu-
able ring had been brought to this
country without the duty beini
paid, and that it would be seize6
and held by the government until
al legal requirements and for
malities had been fully complied
with.
So the final outcome of the case
is not known yet.

VEIL OF . MYSTERY SUR
ROUNDS CAREER OF
"WoLF OF LA SALE
STREET"
fBr Asnoelated Pressl

ATLANTA, March 3.-Death
has deepened the veil of mystery
about the career of John w. Wor-
thington, "The Wolf of La Sale
Street." who died in the federal
pentitentiary here yesterday.
An unidentified woman has
claimed the body of the convict
which lay today in the prison
morgue unclaimed by his daugh-
ters or relatives. One daughter,
Mrs. Allen Pike, Chicago, request
ed that prison authorities give her
'tfather a Christian burial in At
lanta," while another daughter,
Mrs. John Rogers, New Rochelle,
N. r., had not made her wishes
known today.
Warden John w. Shook, who re-
fused. to divulge the name of the
woman claiming the body of Wor-
thington, said the convict would
probably be buried in the prison
plot. However, he said he would
reach decision regarding the re-
quest after he had heard from
other members of Worthington's
family.
The warden also revealed that
no one ever visited the old man,
who was brought here i'll last Oc-
tober. Worthington seemed to inn
prove after his Incarceration and
II was believed he would live out
his two years sentence which he
received on conviction for using
the mails to defraud. He died of
paralysis following complication
Of diseases from which he suffered
several years.
Worthington apparently died
penniless, Warden Shook said. He
had borrowed small sums at vari-
ous times during his imprisonment.
His attorney, Robert e. Cohan,
Chicago, however, claims that
Worthington's estate was no myth,
saying its value was close to
$3,0O0,0O0. He, himself, was
wiIIed $3.50, 900 he declared.

IMPROVEMENT
In CONDITION
OF WOUNDED BOY
PLACE OPERATED BY MAN
CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE
SHOOTING is ORDERED
CLOSED

The condition of John Ranger,
the young man who was shot in
the back by Arthur Baker on
Petronia street last Sunday after
noon, is thought to be somewhat
improved today. He had fair
ly good night and was apparently
benefited thereby. Whitehead
street for a block above and be-
low the corner of Caroline and
Whitehead, where the injured boy
was carried to the home of his
sister when wounded, has been
roped off as a quiet zone in or
der to assure the least noise pos
sible to annoy the unfortunate
young man who is making such
bold fight for his life.
The attending physician states
that John Ranger will be carried
to the hospital today in order
that a slight operation may be
performed in order to remove
some coagulations that had
formed in the wound, but which
are not necessarily an unfavor-
able indication. He thinks that
with no further development of
complications, the young man has
a fighting chance of recovery.
Upon realizing the seriousness
of his condition the Ranger boy
told his mother that he had seen
the man that shot him time or
two before the shooting, but had
never had any words or trouble
with him in any way whatever.
He expressed the hope that if he
died, the people would see that
the man who shot him was given
due punishment.
Laurie Garcia, the young man
who was riding with Arthur Baker
when he shot the Ranger boy last
Sunday, has been released from
jail and is at liberty today. He
made a sworn statement of his
knowledge and consection with
the affair and went with Justice
of the Peace Rogclio Gomez to
show where the gun with which
the shooting was done had been
concealed. He had helped in a
number of ways to CLEAN evidence
that the officers say constitutes
absolute proof of Bakers guilt.
The officers say they are con-
vinced that the Garcia boy was not
Intentionally an accessory to the
crime, and believed it no longer
necessary to keep him inear-
cerated.
The Gold Cup Cafe, corner of
Emma and Division streets. which
before the shooting of last Sun
day was operated by Arthur Baker
and Ruth Baker, was ordered
permanently closed by Mayor
Leslie Curry. II was found open
and in operation last night by
Police Officer NJ. c. Tucker. who
raidcd the place and arrested two
women and several men. Ruth
Baker was charged with operat-
ing q disorderly house and re-
quired to make bond to the
amount of $50 for her appear
anee in city court this afternoon.
The bonds of Flora Reed. the
other woman taken in the raid. aud
the men whose names were not
learned. were $40 each.
Their cases viii come up before
Municipal Judge T. S. Caro- this
afternoon at the usual hour.
