SWEEPS BOOKS
WORTH S35O,OOO
SEIZED ON PIER
Two Seamen Held on
Conspiracy Charge

BALTIMORE, Dec. 80. - Two
Seamen are charged here today
with smuggling 1000 booklets of
Irish Sweepstake tickets into this
country, following the New York
indictment of eight persons de-
scribed as heads of the biggest
sweepstakes ticket selling ring in
the United States.
Ernest F. Passett and Mariana
Gaspe are being held here in
$4,000 bail each for a hearing
January 6. They pleaded not
guilty before U. S. Commissioner
James K. Cullen.
VALUED AT $35O,OOO
Passett, chief steward on the
freighter Steelworker, and Gaspe,
the ships carpenter, we're arrested
after customs agents had confiS-
Gated three SuitcaSeS containing
the tickets, which are valued at
about $780, 900. The suitcaSeS we're
hidden on a pier where the ship
had anchored on a trip from
Avonmouth, England.
The booklets, containing a total
Of $4,000 tickets, were for the
race to be run at EPSON Downs
on May "a, 1889. Each booklet
contained II tickets.
Both defendants are naturalized
citizens, Passett declaring himself
to be a native of Holland and a
resident of Alabama, and Gaspe,
native of Spain, living in New
York.
TWO-YEAR PROBE
In New York, the eight indict-
ments came as climax to a two
year investigation by postal au-
thoritieS, and we're intended as
the opening gun in an attack on
the huge sale of sweepstakes
tickets in this country.
The case marks an innovation,
according to District Attorney
John L. Delaney, the defendants
being charged with using the ex-
press to transport tickets in inter
state commerce. The indictments
also alleged conspiracy to smuggle
the tickets into the country, dis
tribute them and return the
money to Irish promoters.
Delaney said the ring diStri-
buted the tickets through TOO
agents. who in turn supervised
more than 5000 statesmen.

toxicated, however, this is but a
theory of ours, and has no special
basis except the imagination OF the
writer. He was located in a room
on the second story and getting up
to go down stairs, this is of course
but a supposition of the writer, he
fell down the stairs and broke his
back and died some time that day,
which would be September 8, 1903.
He was man Of some family be-
cause word was sent to his home and
a son-in-law came on to take charge
of the body and his personal effects.
1t was stated that he was travelling
horseback and had large saddle
bags, and in these he was carrying
the will Of his late deceased aunt,
his discharge from the army, var
ious papers and documents and a
rather large sum of money, in
specie, as the paper money issued
by the states and the federal govern
ment was nearly worthless.
When the son-in-law arrived near
ly everything was missing from his
saddle-bags, and only small
amount of money was found. And
never were any of them found. Be
fore he left home on this trip to
Maryland he had made will, and
his widow had it recorded some
place in Ohio. Later she removed
from Ohio to some place in Missouri
but we do not know where. The
particular branch of the Alderman
family to which we belong came
from England and stopped for q
time at Olean, N. Y. In the spring
of 1902 great granddaughter OF
Richard Keene, named (Mrs.) He
lena. Draher. was living al Olean, n
Y, and as the estate of her ances-
tor had never been settled and she
was interested in finding cut, if pos
sible, what might be known Of the
event leading to his death which
have just described, she asked hel
bank to get in touch with some bank
here and ask the recommendation OF
someone to assist her in her inquiry
AS both my father and grandfather
were active in the banks here al
that time, the similarity Of the name
here and at Olean was noted by hel
and in a letter she asked assistance
in her hunt for some records about
Richard keene's having stopped
here Also she gave the informa-
tion l have used as basis for this
article Some of the family went
back over the old papers and rec
ords but nowhere could be found
anything that would be Of value to
: her.
Here enters the mystery. McCon-
nelsville was but a town Of few
hundred people at that time. There
could have been but few inns for
the accommodation of travellers, as
travellers were few Anything as
tragic as the death of a stranger,
under the circumstances, would
surely have been noted and if we
had had knowledge box" in those
days, this tragic event would have
been the subject of conversation for
many weeks.
But 10 this good day | have been
unable to find out anything more
about Richard keene than | have
here written.
So we may truly say that McCon
nelsville had mystery that def1ed
a solution.-Stanbery Alderman.

WALL STREET PAPERS HAIL end
NEW DEAL RECOVERY

"The outlook for expanding eco
nomic activity in this country"
writes Ward Gates, nationally known
economist, in the August 27 issue of
the Magazine of Wall Street, 'is the
brightest in many years There is
now strong evidence that private
spending and investment is likely to
supplement government pump-prim-
ing to an extent which will bring
about economic recovery superior to
that of 1933-1937 in speed, and
staying power
Declaring that the "severe slump
in industrial production was out of
all proportion to the relatively mod
crate shrinking in public purchasing
power" Mr.. Gates declares in the
magazines leading article, entitled
Strong Business Uptrend''
whether from competitive neces-
sity or resignation to a more or less
permanent New Deal government,
corporate managements are resum-
ing capital investment much more
promptly and largely than they did
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1938-09-22

in the early phases of the inadequate
1933-1937 recovery. Liquidation OF
inventories and the minor deflation
of bank credit have run their course
and both trends are now upward.
The second New Deal Recovery Is
starting from a much higher base
than did the first One.'
The Wall Street Journal-also
not a New Deal newspaper-in com
menting upon reports from the de-
partment of labor that permits for
home building in June were IL per-
cent greater than in May and that
July was 1911 percent above June,
and 1888 percent greater than In
July, 1887, says editorially:
"There is no question that the ac-
tivities of the federal housing ad-
ministratiOn have contributed ma
terially to the improvement in resi-.
Dental building, a most encouraging
sign Of recovery"
