SENTENCED TO SERVE 28
MONTHS IN PENITENTIARY

taxi business in Evanston, assist
ed by his brothers and his mother,;
Mrs. Harriet Jones. From 1922 to
1926 he worked as club car stew
ard on the 20th Century Limited,
and in 1927 he entered the lottery
racket.
He first became a policy writer
or numbers salesman, then he op
erated a policy station, bossing
a number of policy writers and
cash runners, and finally in 1929
became the owner of his own wheel
To show how profitable the rac
ket is, the government disclosed
that the brothers spent, from 1931
through 1938, $2,721,911, while
their income tax returns showed
an income of only $1,358,270. The
difference, minus cash on hand,
Jan. 1, 1939, was what they were
charged with failing to declare as
income: $1,307,519.
Ed testified under oath that the
income from the three drawings a
day at his wheel leaped from $2,
000 each 24 hours in 1933 to $10,
000 each 24 hours in 1938.
Wlhere the brothers got their in
itial $15,000, the government did
not say, but added they had it in
1929. By Dec. 31, 1938, the net
worth of the brothers and their
mother was given as $1,600,000.
Their cash was kept in 25 separate
bank accounts, and grew from
$8,000 o $204,000 from 1931 thru
1938; their government securities
holdings rose from $116,000 to
$562,000; annuities, from nothing
to $123,000; industrial bonds, no
thing to $143,000; stocks, nothing
to $113,000; real estate, nothing to
$229,000; municipal bonds, nothing
to $107,000.
The government’s “Exhibit A”,
a three and one half foot sheet
breaking down the Jones’ brothers
financial holdings, listed a number
of items that appeared to be poli
tical payoffs for protecton. Some
of these Items were frankly labt'l
el “pay-offs” and ranged from $8.
625 to $32,234 a year. Other “un
identified withdrawals” ranged
from $30 to more than $9,000 a
year.
The living expenses for the bro
thers ond their mother, in their
palatial apartment at 4726 S- Mich
igan avenue, was given as $30,000
a year.
William H. Haynes, attorney
representing the defendants, de
clared the government figures,
“much exaggerated”. He said the
men operate tailor shops, depart
ment stores and real estate busin
esses besides the policy game, and

A Prominent Business I
Woman Praises Mme.C.J. J;
Walker’s Preparations
* ‘‘I use Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations exclusively be
cause I get results from them
that I am unable to get from any
other preparation,” stated a well
known business woman the
other day.
The secret of the remarkable
success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s
preparations is in the fact that
they were blended by the late ■
Madam C. J. Walker to reach
certain definite conditions of the
hair, skin and scalp, and today,
after over thirty-five years ora
the market, they are growing
increasingly popular, and not
withstanding the fact that the
Company has always refused to
reduce the price on these goods,
they are still in demand every
where. 4
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine,
although more than thirty-five
years on the market, is still the
leader in its field. The reason
for this is because it not only
serves as a scalp oil, but it gives
the hair that silky sheen and
natural gloss that is the delight
of every woman.
Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown
Face Powder is not just another
Face Powder, but is the result of
years of experimenting to pro
duce the perfect blend to impart
a velvetlike softness and at the
same time cooling and refresh
ing. Just the thing for these hot
days.
The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won
derful preparations are sold by
Walker Beauticians and Drug
Stores everywhere, or you can
