Constitutionalists Alone—
WILL DISSOLVE TRUST
The New York jJJun of Tuesday
publishes the following story of a
“wirfe-tapping” swindle, played in the
same old 'war on the confiding
stranger in New York-
, Right in the midst of District At
torney Whitman’s campaign against
wireless wiretappers and their police
i confederates and while Deputy Police
Commissioner Dougherty’s assertions
that he would take drastic action
against such gentry were still re
sounding, the professional gentlemen
who tip credulous persons from out-
lylng parts to good things in horse
races put one over on a visitor from
the West Indies, who contributed $2,-
500 In cash'to the ancient enterprise.
• This was on .Dumber ,2 and In
spector’Vaurot heard of it two days
later when L. C.: Wharton, a West
Indian chemist, who was stopping in
New York on his way home from
^England, came Into police headquar-
W t6rs and told the qtory. Wharton ar
rived in New York on November 30
and went to the Hotel Albert in Uni
versity place. That same day, Sun
day, he went for a walk. On Fifth
avenue he met a stranger who bor
rowed a match and Introduced him
self as Earl B. Linton, a mechanical
engineer from Montreal. ^ —-
The new made friends saw the
sights the rest of that day and the
next and the next. _ By then they
were intimates. On Wednesday fol
lowing they took a walk Sand met, at
17th street and Fourth avenue, one
_ F. Burke, a friend of Linton, from
- Charleston, S, C., and, according to
the Canadian, a “bear on doping the
ponies”.- Burke was feeling pretty
prosperous, having Just won $20.00
' on the Charleston paces' and invited
the others to go and see how he did
it.
They went to a poolroom In a fur-
nlshed room house In East 24th
—street. Just off Fifth avenue, and
started in to .break the bookies.
Wharton plunged to the extent oFf 6
“ and wott $50.' A second dash with
$10 brought him $20 and a third mad
venture of $25 netted another $50.
The West Indian thought he’d like to
_go on forever. j / _-"
A little later Burke whispered that
he had a sure thing, a hummer, and
he was going to ft strong. Linton
and Wharton could do as they liked.
They stepped on his heels -In their
eagerness to place the money. Burke
l>ut up $7,500 and Linton $8,800.
Wharton produced $300 in bills ami
made out a check for $5,000. Noth
ing doing on the chedk they told him,
SO he hurried downtown to a hl« bank
and came back with $2,500 In real
money. .
Burke took the pot and gave it to
Linton, with Instructions to bet It all
, v on a certain horse for place. Whar-
^ ton and the pfTihger' waited with
W bated breath. Linton came back pres-
' ently. He thought he had been told
—to bet on the nag to win and the nag
had lost and he washout $8,800, n
to mention his friends, and it cer
tainly was rought going.
' ^ “You {hlck-headed, thieving, lovf
N-^fipwn ignorant squlae,” shouted
Burke. “I r told you to bet on' the
horse for place.”
“Don’t talk to me that way, you
dog,” shouted Linton. “I won’t fakO
from you or any mai.’*
They clinched and went down in a
cloud of dust. Whjirton hopped
around on the outside and begged
them not to* forget they vtere gentle
and getting up went away with the
peacemaker. The Canadian was very
sore^©q Burke and said he would
make good Wharton’s losses, giving
him a note for the $2,500 and t^en
disappearing with a promise to re
turn and cash It the next day. The
West Indian waited two dayf, then
began to read the papers and hustled
to headquarters.

men, though they won’t sky where

Attorney-General McReynolds Fri
day night made public details of an

Ham McK,inley, who was one of the
one hundred and five convicts liberat
ed by Governor Cole L. Blease last
month In honor of Thanksgiving.
Btoreovar, the police sa^-they have
evidence that McKinley attempted to
blow a safe Within three weeks after
he was freed from the penitentiary,
and will bring him up to trial for the
alleged crime as soon as he completes
his vagrancy sentence.
The man was found camping hrriie
woods near Spartanburg Junctlofi by
Robert E. Miller, a special ag$nt of
the Southern railway. He had. a sack
of coal, which he admitted having
taken from the railway's coal yards
and he was arrested and convicted
before Magistrate Robert J. Gantt.
On being taken to the count# Jail
Kinney or McKinley, waa "hailed as
an old acquaintance by another pris
oner, Elmore Wright; who said the
new arrival was in th'e Penitentiary
at the same„iime that he (Wright)
was serving a life sentence there for
murder. Wright was paroled by Gov
ernor Blease, ^ut after he was lib
erated shot another man, and he, too
Is back In prison again.
Two days before McKinley, alias
Kinney, was arrested an attempt was
made to blow open a safe In the gen
eral store of Renard Frey, at Fair
Forest, S. C., about eight miles from
Spartanburg. A charge .of nitro-gly-
IJilgrine was exploded but the safe re
sisted the assault. The explosion Was
heard by a negro In the neighborhood
but (he robber was not seen.
The next morning a button, with a
UiUle tuft of cloth attached, was
found under the window Of Frey’s
store. It k believed to bkve been
torn from the robber’s clothing as
he entered the building and was pre-
served as of possible value as «*1-
denee. When Kinney was identified by
Wright us McKinley, the safe robber,
officers examined McKinleyk cloth
ing.
The button.waa found under the
window at Frey's store afjter the rob
bery was found to be Identical with
those on the coat worn by McKinley
when arrested, which was a piece of
the suit said to have been allotted to 1
him after his release from the peni
tentiary. The tuft of cloth attached
to 5 the button was Identical In color
adn texture with the material of
which the coat was made. A button
was missing. After his Imprisonment
McKiflney gave to a fellow prisoner
a new undershirt which he had worn
This was of the same make and ma
terial as those stolen from Frey’s
store.~
William J. Becknell, constable for
Magistrate Gantt, made a further In
vestigation, going to the camp fire
where McKinney waa arrested. There
he found a bag containing several un
dershirts and a- coat of the same
make and color as those stolen from
Frey’s store. Also In the bag was
small empty vial, smelling '~ttropgly
of oil of dloves, and a syringe. The
officials think the vial may have con
talned nitroglycerine and the drug
parhaps was used to destroy the smell
of the—explosive; also the syringe
may be the part of the safe-blowing
paraphernalia of the yeggman.
Postofflce inspectors have been In
vestlgatlng In the belief that McKin
dey may have bad accomplices and
that the gang may have been respon
slble for other robberies In this see-
tlon. Two men in the Spartanburg
County Jail, charged with robbing
the-safe-fn the postofflce at Saluda,
N. C„ are not believed, however, to
have had any connection with McKin
ley. They claim to be followers of
the race track, who were “beating"
their way to Charleston.
. McKinley, who at first was very
voluble In protesting against his ar
rest as a vagrant and made an able
plea to Magistrate Gantt for hls dis-
charge, has since become as silent
a clam. The officers say he angrily
broke his silence, however, when
