Text | Anson is said to use a cipher alphabet in sending telegraphic messages to Chicago, in order that the recipient of these messages can use the information thus sent in advance of the gamblers'. A Chicago scribe says: “Experience has demonstrated that this information would in half an hour be in the possession of a few gamblers, and be used by them in the poolrooms to the disadvantage of those who supposed the Chicago team in full strength was to play. So Hulbert, who uses a cipher in his business, has fixed up a code for Anson to employ in telegraphing. |
