MANY MILLIONS
CLEANED UP
BY SWINDLERS
CHICAGO, May 13 (by Associated
Press).—The American confidence
man reaped a harvest of more than
ten million dollars last year, accord
ing to figures compiled by Chicago
authorities. This is the approximate
amount actually collected from the
credulous public by professional con
fidence operators, and does not in
clude the millions gathered in an
nually by the various stock-jobbing
schemes.
The crude devices of the old-time
confidence man, with his shell game,
three-card monte, gold brick, green
goods, money-changing and lemon
games, have given way to modern
1 methods, more complex and more
| profitable.
I Tho ronllv fliiPPAnaful ennAHonnu
men of today usually have summer
and winter homes, ride in limousines
and are aided by richly-gowned
women, authorities say. They are
educated and far more clever than
their brothers of old days, whose fa
vorite trick in Chicago was to sell
the Masonic Temple to a "rube” for
a small sum, or agree to make the
building “turn around.”
Land-selling schemes, peddling of
worthless mine and oil well stock,
wire-tapping and “fake” sporting
events are now the handmaidens of
the modern confidence man, who
matches wits with the banker, cap
italist and lawyer, instead of dealing
with the ignorant ruralists. Nearly
all the victims of a Chicago gang re
cently sent to the penitentiary were
bankers and business men.The gang’s
loot aggregated more than half a mil
lion dollars a year.
Fear of publicity keeps most victim^
quiet, thus giving the high-class con
fidence man a certain degree of im
munity, authorities say. They add
that federal prosecution for using the
mails to defraud has been a big fac
tor in breaking up gangs, and recently
brought about conviction of half a
dozen leading confidence workers.
“Tom Brown, who came from De
troit and made his headquarters in
New York, was father of the present
type of confidence men,” said WfljF
iam A. Pinkerton, veteran detective,
“ in striking a comparison between the
old and new swindlers. "He operated
forty years ago, and formerly was a
three-card monte man. He was known
as a bunco steerer, and won by fake
lottery schemes and| other crooked
gambling devices. Then he invented
the gold brick, with which he toured
the country. The green goods game
came later, and Brown had many imi
tators who picked up thousands an
nually. Wire-tapping and other
schemes now used developed from
those old games. The modern oper
ators don’t bother with small money,
and often clean up $100,000 in a sln
- gle deal. The old-timers thought
$1,000 a big job.
“Victims are not really honest at
heart, for they often enter 4nto a
scheme to cheat another fellow. The
small town banker and business man
has proved a shining mark for swin
dlers. They can not risk their repu
tations by complaining. It is Sur
prising how many shrewd business
men fall into the net.”
It is estimated that $3,000,00(1 of
the $10,000,000 total was obtained in
Florida, where hundreds of confidence
workers are said to operate, particu
" larly among winter tourists.
