persons who attended and millions who

last know 'nothing of the attempt made to
roo airs, potter Maimer or her valuable
diamonds on that occasion. The atorr is
most interesting in its details. The fact
that Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are now in New

lends color to the statement that a bogus

Their Scheme Xot a Success.
But they were not successful. But one
robbery was committed at the Auditorium
that night. Charles Slack lost a valuable
diamond stud, and remembered being
jostled by an English "gentleman,' who
immediately offered profuse apologies.
WATCHED BY A FRENCH OFFICER.
And Shadowed by Chicago Detective.
Personnel of the Gang.
!' The Chicago authorities were warned hv
an officer of the French police force, and the
names of the rascals sent on ahead, with
full descriptions. The men were "Flash
Fred," "Lord Clendenning," Bertie Martin
("Oof Bird,") and Dr. Sequar. In order to
baffle the thieves as to their principal ob
ject Mrs. Palmer was never out of sight,
or touch, of a couple of detectives from the
time she left home until she returned. Be
sides this the 1 Jill room was watched by a
force of detectives.
Ins tract ions to the Detectives.
The officers were ordered to be ready for
any emergency and to frustrate anvat-

valuables from the persons of any of those
present. Before 10 o'clock Inspector Ross
and Captain Shea both knew that the four
men were in the house, and from that time
on they were closely watched. One officer
was detailed to shadow each of the four
suspects on the elevators from the main
floor to the dining room. The close watch
must have alarmed the thieves, for they
all left for parts unknown before next
morning.
The Informal ion Was Reliable.
Chief Inspector -Ross was seen in his pri
vate office at detective headquarters last
night and detailed the conspiracy set up to
rob Mrs. Palmer in full, the points of
which' are given in the foregoing. He was
at first averse to discussing the case be
cause, he said, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer would
object to the notoriety attending its publi
cation. "My information was entirely re
liable,"he said, "and w knew just whom
to look for and what to expect. For that
reason I believe we were able to frustrate i

Had m Week's Warning.
Almost a week before the ball Chief In
spector Ross, much to his satisfaction,
received an intimation from a trustworthy
source that the quartette of worthies would
be at the ball. His sources of information
were ample, and he made everv preparation
to receive the gang from abroad. Few who
attended the great ball knew that twenty

Chicago, Nov. 1'.. Ben Blanchard, who
at one time cut a rather wide swath in Chi
cago financial and religious circles, is badly
wanted in Cheyenne, Wyo., where it is al
leged he has been trying to bunko the citi
eens of the town out of $200,000. Blanchard
is a "boomer," and first boomed into prom

Then he came to Chicago, in 16S5, and took
an office with S. A. Kean & Co., the defunct
banking firm.
Mulcted Some Chicago Men.
Here Blanchard pursued the same course
that he had in Indiana. He bought tracts
of Lied in Kansas and Montana, laid them
off in town lots, and disposed of t hem at
good prices. Rev. Dr. Willing indorsed a
check for $4,200 for him, and subsequently
paid it. President Avery, of the Elgin
Watch com Dan V. and Iter. -T r rv.w,ii
of the South Park avenue church, each lost
several thousand dollars by him. At the
