SUCCESSFUL CBniES OF THBEE BOGI/ES. ' New York, December B.—A ca'hio jcul to the Sua from London says : j Frank Taylor, one of the principals a bloody duel with. cutlass&3 over | t proceeds of a robbery in London, i story of which was cabled a month p,is really Frank Tarbo, formerly 'ie of tlie leaders of the famous gang New York, Superintendent Byrne | supplied the London police with a record of Tarbo's career in j ierica.; also with that of a woman J Iswn here as his wife, and that of lliam Woodward, Tarbo's cornjion, who is hero also under in(iLiont. Both men escaped their bT bond before the case came to tiilast week, and now one of the m| amazing records of successful crio ever collected has been propared agtast them. to three arrived in London from NdYork nine months ago and hir«d a larii furnished house in Stanhope Gajens, the fashionable Kensington quier, Woodward assuming the utvit of Lionel Musgrave. Tarbo, uaii the name of Taylor, posed as hislcretary. They lir«d and entertain! on the most lavish scale, and iiadia abundance of horses, carriages- f servmts, livery, dinner partios, etc. Aftia few weeks certain late revels i ainlTther things aroused the police suspkons. Finally, when a politemauTvas passing the house at tvro o'clofl one morning, the door suddenly flew Sion and a young man in evening dresshas thrown violently down the stor.cfsteps. Ho lay 011 the sidewalk badlwkurt. The policeman took the young man who vas considerably the worse for liquor, to a watering trough near by, and helped him to wash off the blood and mud, and then carried him to the police station. He proved to be the younger son of one of the wealthiest English dukes. The young man made tho astounding statement that he had been swindled at carda by Mr Mua« grave and his secretary to the enormous amount of £60,000 in one woeki The police became convinced of the truth of his statement, and strongly urged the young man and his father to prosecute. The family decided to lose the money rather than to face publicity. The neighbourhood was soon made too warm for tho gang and they decamped, leaving large debts owing to tradesmen and others. Tbo polico 1 inquiries showed that the two men | won from another well-known gentleman £7OOO in a single night's play at the Langham Hotel. The polico also traced them to the Continent, and found a mass of evidence of big winnings at cards in Paris, Berlin, and at Monto Corlo. They were astonished to find Ipter ' "vifcutn. !,ji& sulf/tIIMBBaH » f Samiifll Tin wis. who is jVfcSaßu 'jy « a lender of money to EnIHH ■ men in distress in || has tho reputation of being l| of his class. Ho refuses H 9 known the amaunt of Ms losses oM game by which he was induced\ surrender his cash. It is believa that the swindlers bilked him through the younger sons, who were the:'r most frequent visitors. The precious pair were last seen at Gravesend. where the police believo they put off and boarded a steamer bound for India. Information comes from another source - which hints that tho fugitives havo really gone to Mexico.
