STORY OF A CRIMINAL
HOW Gil KEY GOODS JIEX ARE IItO
TECTKD lir GOTHAM POLICE.
Tale of Inqnlty Uneqnaled In the An
nals of Municipal Corruption Tes
timony of George Appo.
NEW YORK, June 16. During the past
week the Lexovv committee opened up an
ntirely new line of inquiry on the subject
f police protection to the "green goods"
business. The principal witness w as George
Appor a half-breed Chinaman, son of
Quimbo Appo, who is serving a. life sen
tence in Sin? Slug for murder. George
Appo Is thirty-six years old and he has
been a criminal from his early youth, hav
ing spent much of his. time In prison. Ills
principal occupations have been picking
pockets and "steering guys" for ffreen
ifoods swindlers.
The testimony of Appo was listened to
with unusual attention and interest. The
witness is a remarkable person, to begin
with, and he described in detail the busi
ness of the "reen goods" swindlers who
have been protecte-i in this city by the
police. Appo is the son of a white woman
and of Quimbo Appo, the Chinaman who
committed a shocking murder In the city
years ago and is now serving a term of
life Imprisonment for the crime. Under the
name of George Leonard, the witness was
sent to prison when only eighteen years old
tor picking the pocket of Alfred Gilbert, a
custom house inspector, and at that time
his photograph was placed In the rogues'
gallery as No. 11U. lie had previously
served a term in prison, and since then he
has been in prison several times.
Appo is a small, wiry man, with dark and
sallow complexion, black hair and clean
shaven face. He has been a desperado as
well as a thief, and there are several ugly
scars on his face which tell of bloody en
, counters. He has a glass eye In place of
the right optic, which was shot out in
Poughkeepsle two years ago. The police
have often spoken of him as one of the
worst criminals in the city. His calling in
recent years, when he has not been inside
prison walla, has been that of a "steerer"
for the 'green goods" game.
When Appo took his seat In the witness
chair. Senator Lexow said to him that he
tad nothing to fear as to his testimony if
lie told the truth, but if he did not tell the
truth he would be liable to punishment for
perjury. In reply to questions by Mr. Goff,
the witness said that he was thirty-six
years old and was born in New Haven,
Conn., but was brought to this city when
he was only two months old. He was un
fortunate when he was a boy, and he was
arrested for picking pockets when he was
sixteen years old. He was sentenced to
prison for two years and six months by
itecorder Hackett, and he was so small at
the time that there was not a suit of
clothes In the prison small enough to tit
Nine months after he had served his
time he was sent to prison again for the
same offense, the same sentence being
passed upon him by Judge Gildersleeve.
The third time he was sent to prison for
picking pockets he got a sentence of three
years and six monms from Itecorder Smyth.
II was caught picking pockets again in
lvs34 but got off with a year in the peni
tentiary. He also served a term of seven
months in a Pennsylvania Jail for picking
pockets.
Question by Zlr. Goff Have you been en
gaged in what is known as "crooked busl
nss" in this city? A. The "green goods"
business has been my principal business in
late years.
Q. Please explain to the committee the
nature of that business? A. Circulars are
sent out stating that duplicates vt the gen
uine money have been printed from the
same plates.
Q. Well, let us understand who are the
persons who are engaged in the business.
Who is the backer? A. He 1-j the old gen
tleman, the man with the bank roll. He
has the real money which Is shown as
"green goods."
Q. Who is the "writer?" A, He is the
tnan who sends out the circulars.
Q. And the "steerer," who is he? A. He
Is the man who goes after the people who
come In answer to the circulars.
Q. You mean the men who are swindled.
What is the victim called? A. He is called
the "guy."
Q. He comes from the backwoods? A.
Yes, and from the dtles and towns all over
the country
Q. Who 13 the 'Vinger?" A. He is the
tnan behind the partition who takes the
good money which is shown and puts a
brick in place of it.
Q. And the "turner," who is he? A. He
Is upposed to be the son of the old gentle
man. He sells the "green goods" and then
places It within reach of the "ringer."
Q. Then there is the "taller;" Who is he?
A. He Is the one who follows the victim
after the game is played and sees him
safely out of the city.
Q. What is the place called where the
fame is played? A. The "turning Joint."
t is usually an empty store in which is a
desk with 'a tfhelf and a partition "behind it.
Q.-How are the victims brought to the
place? A. They are directed to go to a
iiotel In Poughkeepsle or Fishklll on the
Hudson river, or to some place in New Jer
sey .about fifty miles from New York, where
they are met by the "steerer," who takes
them to this city and leads them to the
turning Joint."
Q. What division is made of the money
taken from the victims? A. The writer
gets 50 per cent, and the backer gets 50 per
cent. They pay the other men. The
"steerer" gets S per cent. The "turner"
rets $13 and the '"ringer" and 'taller" get
Z in each case.
Q. How do the writers" get the names
and addresses of persons to whom the cir
culars are 6ent? A. From the mercantile
agency lists mostly.
Q. What do the circulars 'contain? A.
They say that duplicate issues of money
have been obtained, and the victims are
asked to answer by telegrapli. A bogus
newspaper clipping is sent with the circular
tating that the money cannot be told from
the genuine mony. A record is kept of
each man to whom a circular is sent. If
the record is "John Howard. No. lofi." the
man is told to lgn a telegram "J. H. NJ."
If the writer gets an answer from that man
he reports a "come-on." Then Instructions
are sent to the man, telling him the hotel
to which he must go to meet the messenger.
Q. Are instructions cent by mail? A.
Yes, but the answers must always be sent
by telegraph.
Q. How are the telegrams sent to the
right address? A. Any address may be
given, but the telegraph -operators under
stand the meaning of the m35sages and
6yid them to the right address.
Q. How does the "steerer" know how to
meet the right person? A. He has a
password. It may be "speedy return" or
l,good luck."
O.- When the victim is taken to the
'turning Joint" what is the mode of opera
tion there? A.V large turn of good
money Is shown to him as "green goods"
and he is allowed to examine it. If he
agrees to buy it the "turner" places it in
a box or satchel on the shelf behind the
desk. The old gentleman sits by as a
matter of form, but says nothing. Then
the "turner" says he will make out a re
ceipt, and he lifts the lid of the desk,
which shuts the box on the shelf from
view for an instant. There is a panel in
th partition, and when the lid of the
desk comes down the "ringer" has
changed the box with tho money for a box
with a brick in it.
y. What is done with the victim then?
A. He ii sent r.ome with the brick. The
"steerer" puts a scare into him and tells
him that he must keep quiet until he gets
home. He tells him that the country near
the city has been flooded with the "green
frood." and that he may get fifteen years
n jail if he is caught with any of it luTe.
The "stetrrer" usually carries the box to
the station and set-s the victim safely on
the train, while the "taller" follows them.
When the victims are on the cars again
they are allowed to go. Thev seldom come
back. If they do the "taller" pretends
to be an oltker and scares them bv tell
ing them- they can bo sent to Jail. He
tells them that the are as bad as the
mn who got their monev and the best
thing they can do is to go back home.
Q- At what rate Is the pretended sale
of "green goods?" A. The least Hum
t&kn from a. victim is for which he
Is told he is to get 000 In "green goods"
and also in the same goods for ex-
peases in travel.
Q. DM you ever know of a victim who
came back being taken to a police station
to have at scare put Into him? A. I know
of such a case, but I do not want to in
criminate a friend, and I will not tell
about it.
Q. Tell about it in a general way with
out Mentioning names. A. I brought a
man from Philadelphia on a Sunday morn
ln and took him to a hotel until I could
take htm to the "turning Joint." He was
a marshal from Tenner un.1 h hid
Luu bbrtf Lktwrew tut i Uila'fc k&ow, that
then. When I took him to the room where
the "turner" was waiting he said he had
IWjO to invest and wanted JlS.uuO. The
"turner" said that the safe was locked
and could not be opened, but the money
would be sent by express. H showed $S5
as samples of the goods. The man took
the money, stuffed it into his pocket,
pulled a revolver of forty-eight calibre
and tainted it at the "turner." I got the
revolver away from him anl passed It
to the "turner." who ran out. The
"ringer" also ran. leaving me alone with
the man. I xlcked up a spittoon, but he
drew a bowie knife and cut me across the
Land. (The witness displayed a scar in
proof of the story.) Then the man ran
after the "turner" and caught him in the
street, but a policeman took them both
to the station. They were both let go at
the station and the man went back home.
1 was not arrested.
AMEIIICAXS Alti: DEFICIENT.
Men Work Too Huril to Ilccome Pro
found and PlilloNopuicul Thinkers.
The Outlook.
The century is full of earnest, capable and
effective men, but it is singularly dOicient
in leaders of thought, men who go to the
bottom of things; who stand for what is
riiest, richest and deepest in their several
spheres. The pressing nteds of the coun
try In its present stage of development are
largely responsible for this diversion of
talent from meditative and philosophical
lines into active, working ditectlons; but
there is also another cause, which may be
removed, and that is the lack of lit condi
tions. It may be said without injustice that
America produces a greater number of
agile, keen and talented men than England,
but that England produces a greater num
ber of really able men than America, In
an unusually suggestive article contrasting
English and American home life in the May
number of the Forum, Mr. Price Collier
calls attention to the care which is given
to securing the best conditions for secur
ing the highest eiliciency of Englishmen as
workers. The competition in that country
is so severe that men train themselves for
success in their various vocations as sys
tematically and intelligently as young men
train themselves in athletics. They insist
on having the very best conditions for the
highest bodily and intellectual efficiency,
and the Knglisft home Is largely organized
in order that the man who is at the head of
it may have the largest earning capacity
and the best possible conditions for his
own growth. Economy is rigtily and un
hesitatingly practiced. Without the slight
est show of concealment or the slightest
sense of embarrassment, from the Queen
down to the bottom of English society,
for the sake of securing these conditions.
It is distinctly recognized in that country
that if a man is to do anything in a large
and thorough way he must have leisure,
and leisure is provided for him, if it has
to be done by saving the candle-ends. Ev
erything is directed to secure this? result.
Such men as Gladstone, Palfour, Chamber
lain, Lord Itosebery, to mention typical
cases, are, so to speak, "regularly groomed
and kept In condition, physically and men
tally, for their arduous duties " They are
constantly taking holidays; every bit of
work that can be delegated la taken out
of their hands, and everything is done for
them to give them comfort, ease and leis
ure. Almost every Englishman of note has
two or three, and sometimes half a dozen,
avocations besides his- vocation, and he at
tends to these as religiously as- to his pro
fessional work. Mr. Gladstone is a stand
ing illustration of the many-sided man who
does not allow himself to run dry or wear
out In a single pursuit, but who has con
stantly enriched himself by wide culture.
Mr. Balfour is a philosophical thinker of no
small calibre, and one of the best golf
players in England. Lord Rosebery is im
mensely interested in horses. Mr. Cham
berlain grows orchids.
Almost every Englishman cf note has
some hobby, specialty or avocation some
thing which takes him out of the routing
of his work and gives him variety and
freshness. Moreover, every Englishman
looks forward to his vacation, and permits
nothing to interfere with it. The English
public man works on the long plan. He
aims, that is, to keep himself at the high
est degree of efficiency for thirty or forty
years together, and does not mean to ex
pend himself in a; single spurt at the start.
He alms to have leisure enough to master
his department, and to become an authority
in it, and not simply an active, useful, but,
in a eense, superficial worker. To achieve
this result certain conditions must be se
cured, and these conditions he Insists upon.
When Mr. Gladstone proposed that Par
liament should sit on. Saturday there was
an Immense outcry. Parliament rated a
leisure Saturday quite as Important as the
imperial business which Mr. Gladstone
wished to push through; and Parliament
was right. What we need in this country
is wider margins, more time to study, to
think, to master first principles, and to re
fresh ourselves by contact with nature,
by travel and by study. The bright, active
man can be easily trained, bit the able
man is the product of slow and fruitful
years. We shall not have many such men
until we are willing to give them more
time, to exact less fxvm them, to recognize
their need of re3t, and to demand from
them not so much Immediate service as
ultimate superiority.
Trials of u Muu In Aelige.
Fittsburg Dispatch.
When the summer men don their neglige
costumes they reduce the standard of mas
culine looks in a surprising way. It is
strange that the man In neglige never ap
pears in that light, airy, graceful fashion
in which the illustrated society Journals
picture him. He may think he looks well,
but he is sadly mistaken. But 'the sacrifice
of looks to comfort is sensible, If not artis
tic. There is a certain prominent politician
in town who has vowed never to depart
from starched linen again. He was willing
to sacrifice his looks, but his lofty spirit
could not endure insult. Yesterday morn
ing the politician decked himself out glori
ously In a neglige shirt and leather belt.
Me eyed himself in the glass and congratu
lated himself upon not looking as badly as
he thought he would. He was feeling hap
py over the introduction oi'an era of com
fort during the hot months, and Joyfully
kissed his wife good-bye as he left for town.
"John." said his spouse, "I want you to
stop off at my dressmaker's on your way to
the city and tell her It will be Impossible
for me to take a fitting to-tlay." John,
feeling happy and cool, was willing to com
ply with his wife's request. When he ar
rived In front of the dressmaking establish
ment, he Jumped off the car and, walking
up the steps, rang the door bell. After wait
ing some time the door was partly opened
and the well-known dressmaker appeared.
Before the gentleman had time to speak a
word explaining his mission the dressmaker
had eyed him from head to foot and said
in an impatient tone: "Just go around to
the back door." It was a hard blow, but
the politician recovered his equanimity be
fore the door was closed to tell her what he
wanted. He wore a scowl all the way into
town, and before going to his ofilce went to
a furnishing house, where he bought a
white shirt and collar to make himself, as
he put it, "look respectable." .
Commencement.
White waves of tulle and souls as white,
And misty wreaths of floating laces.
And tender blooms of flower-like faces.
Of spirit grac of flower-like faces.
And brave prophetic thoughts and dreams
And hopes of grand and high endeavor.
And glow of golden faith that seems
To light the future's way forever. .
Asjxisian wisdom told In speech
That breaks from scarlet threads of
smiling
Deep lore beyond the sage's reach
Between the lines our souls beguiling;
Philosophies of Attic times, w
And Ciceronian Latin hissing.
From lips that nature meant as rhymes
To mark the poetry of kissing.
And lofty prophecies of deeds
Of woman's freed soul's high begetting.
And inward knowledge that the needs
Of life are compassed in coquetting.
High hopes that, strike the burning stars,
Ambition that shall never falter.
Until as ending of life's wars
Pallas surrenders at the altar.
Ah, waves of tulle- and gleams of light.
And clinging wreaths of misty laces.
And dreams and hopes that live to-night, '
And gentle hearts and flower-like faces
My prayer for you and all shall be.
That every angel within hearing
May keep you what you seem to me,
In spite of all my cynio sneering.

The Sick Child Arranged It.
Chicago Herald.
Three men were at luncheon together.
One of them went away ratner abruptly,
and he told me afterward that he had to
stand guard over his sensitive feelings.
As there is a lesson in it for a certain
class of people the cause of it Is given.
There was some ieculiarity about the
man's necktie that caused his friends to
twit him. The talk wounded him. because
the very thing they criticised .had been
arranged at his home that morning by
a sick child, who had fixed the tie ac
cording to her fancy and asked her papa
to wear it that way uitil he cano horn. to
show tisr that he had thought of her dur
ing the day. It was one of the little strings
to the hart whl-h requires the deftest
touch, otherwise it snaps and its music
is gone. Don't criticise what a man or
woman wears. In the first place such criti
cism as an evidence of the vulgarest type
of breeding. In the second place that which
may not please your fastidious taste may
have been arranged by the "sick child,"
or the mother, or sister, or Ufe of the
'household. You never can tell what tb
shvrfc cuu w a man's Unztt ait.
SHOWERS OF SILYElt
SOUTHERN COXVIVIALIST WASTES
SIOXEY IX A COXCEItT HALL.
He Throrrs Over Five Hundred Dol
lars In White Metal Coins at Sing
ers in a Coney Island llesort.
CONEY ISLAND, N. Y., June IS. Ernest
Pltzsch, proprietor of the Pal ra Hotel here
and the New York Hotel at St. Augustine,
Fla., went on a spree yesterday and made
things hum at West Brighton for a few
hours. Pltzsch had been drinking cham
pagne at his hotel with some friends all
night and at noon started out to do the
Bowery. After makng things very lively
for everybody in several of the concert
halls he dropped into Count Vacca's West
end Casino. Pltzsch carried three large
cigar boxes filled with silver coin under
his arm. Soon the Smilax sisters, song
and dance performers, appeared on the
stage. They had Just finished their first
song and were leaving the stage - when a
shower of silver coins fell upon their
heads. Pitzsch had emptied one cigar box.
The Misses Smilax paid no attention to
the valuable shower, but started in to sing
their second song, when down came the
contents of the second box. This was "too
much for the song and dance girls, and
they stooped to pick up the coins while
the audience applauded in a wild manner.
When the news spread that a "guy"
from the South was throwing money
around the Casino was soon crowded to
suffocation. Florence French was next
to appear, and the third and last box of
coins was thrown at her when she sang
"Away Down South In Dixie." Ella Wes
ner followed Miss French and the spec
tators roared when Miss Wesner began to
guy Titzsch. "I am a Southern. woman;
how is It that you don't throw money at
me?" she shouted. This was more than
the hotel keeper could bear, and going
out to the cashier's desk he exchanged a
$100 bill for silver. Titzsch placed the
silver on a fire shovel, and, walking down
the center aisle, threw It over the heads
of the orchestra members at Miss ' Wes
ner. The later immediately picked up the
coins, and placing them in her neat little
brown derby, walked off the stage, singing
"Hard Times Come Again No More."
Pltzsch then bought the drinks for the
entire audience, which numbered more
than six hundred people.
Pltzsch is very wealthy and has lived
at Coney island during the summer sea
son for fifteen years. Count Vaccas said
he threw more than $50u upon the stage.
After leaving the Casino the hotel keep
er ordered his coachman to drive him to
the bank in New York, where he said he
was going to get a ton of silver and have
some more fun.

LONDON, June 16. The crew of; the
United States cruiser Chicago grew en
thusiastic over the kind manner in which
they were treated by Henry Irving. The
distinguished English actor, as a slight
recognition of the welcome he and his com
pany have received from Americans all
over the United States, gave the crew of
the Chicago free entry to the Lyceum The
ater. The blue Jackets went to Mr. ylrv-
ing's theater nightly in squads to witness
the performance of "Faust" and enjoyed
themselves greatly. On Wedsensday,
previous to the sailing, of the Chicago for
Antwerp, a deputation of blue Jackets from
the United States war ship waited on
Mr. Irving and presented him with a hand
some water color picture of the Chicago,
and also handed him a beautifully in
scribed silver box as a token of the creWs
recognition of his kindness. Accompany
ing these much appreciated gifts was a
scroll signed "Neptune-Itex." Tho scroll
was in the form of a roval proc'msrHon,
was redolent ' with traditions of. the. -forecastle
and cautioned "aii wnaies, ;;tiiat,
lollywogs and tend lubbers," etc., not to
molest Henry Irving. Mr. Irving sent-the
blue Jackets an appropriate reply.-
Itnltrond CrofesliiK in the City.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The argument of the gentleman who is
asking the right of way into the city for
another railroad track is backed by the
plea that this privilege has been granted
to other railroads. The same plea might
be made for hitching posts around, the
courthouse for country people to; hitch
their horses to and feed them from boxes,
or to permit wood, hay and country mar
ket men to string their varied outfits
around the public square whenever they
have anything to put on the market. When
the railroads first came to the city it was
little more than a town, and the people
were so delighted at their coming that
they granted them anything demanded, for
the simple reason that the obstructions
they caused in crossing the streets were
no great inconvenience. Had it been other
wise they would have been denied the priv
ilege they then so easily obtained. Since
that time our population has grown to over
one hundred thousand. The stirring Indus
tries and pushing business now demand
the use of the streets. The people are
fretted by the obstruction and the danger
that results from ever moving railroad
trains. The railroads have done much to
build up the trade and Industries of the
city, and anything not strictly right should
not be required of them. The men who
have charge of these roads are men who
have kept up with the progress of the age.
They know the conditions that result from
the growth of the city. They would not
suppose that a city, the percentage of in
crease of whose population from to
18iK exceeded that of New York. Philadel
phia, Boston, Baltimore, doubled that of
Cincinnati and trebled that of New Or
leans, would continue, to submit to incon
veniences that retard its growth and pros
perity. It Is certainly ungenerous to ask
an entrance on the same terms granted to
railroads when the city was little more
than a village, when we did not feel nv.
or but little, embarrassment from railroad
crossings, It Is quite different now, with
a population of near 120, uoo. I jet this road
into the city on an elevated track. .Then
put in operation a plan that will, as soon
as it is practicable, compel all city street
crossings to be on elevated tracks. This
will have to -be done sometime. Why not
commence at once? J. W. HEKVEY.

If Christ Came to Chicago."
The Outlook.
But though Mr. Stead's book is almost
wholly dark not entirely, for he permits
rays of sunlight to shine across his picture
here and there; he is too experienced an
artist to shut them out altogether it is
graphic and true. He has made a study
of the dark side of the most characteristic
of American cities, and has told without
reserve what he has seen. There is noth
ing salacious or prurient in his book. If
does not minister to an idle or depraved
curiosity. Its light is the light of God's
Judgment day shining in on the dark places
of vice and sin. He Is bold to audacity,
and absolutely uncompromising. He hates
hypocrisy and deception, and most of all
that commonest form of hypocrisy, self
deception. His book is one to make men
angry, because it is unspairlng of the high
er and more reputable forms of sin, and
Justly holds selfish greed In honored forms
and eminent places responsible for the
vice and degradation that hides away from
common sight. It is not as fair, and, in
our Judgment, therefore, not likely to be
permanently as effective, a book as "Dark
ness and Daylight In New York." which it
recalls; it is more sensational, and for that
reason less enduringly and truly Influential.
But we are glad that Mr. Stead has writ
ten It, and we hope that not Chicago only,
but other cities as well, will read it and
take its lessons to heart.
