FRED DUBOIS’ $78,000 LOSS
(Sontinued from Page 1)
glad and highly pleased was he that
he was only too anxious ±o recipro
I cate and repay in a most substantial
| way. He could think of no other
: way than to let them ‘in’’ on s sure
thing race to come off the following
day. Would Mr. Dubois like to take
; a venture on a sure thing horse race
I paying 7 to 1 ? Well, who wouldn’t? .
i'he owner of the lost wallet was so
! grateful that he would place their' in
i vcstr.'.eat v ■ h Ms own. The Dubois
; in the meantime could travel on to
| p an Francisco and upon arriving at
that place "wouid be paid $144,000 j
winnings. And that was the story as !
first told.
A later version is that Mrs. Dw
ois contacted his new friends in a
eading hotel of Seattle, where during ,
j an evening of conversation many i
r .lettes were smoked. These cig-|
arettes proved to be of the M a ra
il u; nu varity, and under their infiu-[
ence Mr. Dubois revealed the fact
! 'hat he had withdrawn from his bank
S18.000 for legitimate investment.
Mr. Dubois 'ater came tD himself in
a San Francisco hotel, having no idea
of how he got there.
Mr. Dubois himself writes to a
| friend here that he was doped and
robbed. He also added that he will
remain in Seattle till early spring,
when he will return . to live
their remaining days.
