David Lamar, the "Wolf of Wall Street," is ginning his last hope for freedom on his appli cation for a rehearing, which has been held under consideration by the United States SupremejCourt. The applica tion ;will be decided on Monday, it is exnected.. While , there caht be no I prophecy of the action of the tribunal, f;:, it is believed by those interested in tne tamous ease inai iamar nas reacn i - ed the end of hia rope in staying off 1 .the clang of the jail bars. It has been decided by the Supreme Court that & Lamor must go to the Atlanta jail to ).- serve the two years' sentence imposed i on him in the New York federal courts I ' .for impersonating Hon. A, Mitchell Pal l mer. of Pennsylvania when Mr. Palmer I S( was a member of Congress. I v ;( Lamar was found guilty on December 3915, anXwas immeidately sentenced I t tot serve two years in Atlanta prison. The court granted his counsel a writ of error, and a series of appeals has served to stay the -evil day when the famous "wolf " of .charmed life must go to jail. Lamar linned all his hopes of , acquittal upon the point that his con: ; versations with Lewis Cass Ledyard in . the character of Congressman Palmer had none of the elements of legal fraud about them. Lamar admitted the tele- - phone conversations, and failed to put Supreme Court in any evidence. . His counsel, argued - that the scheme concocted by Lamar ; was silly and foolish and there, had been an attempt tcb re veive, but that it was not a serious, affair. The disclosures in the congressional 5 " investigation of campaign contributions I , , : in 1913 led up to the court proceedings f ! against Lamar. The disclosures in- daredevil. 'He had many' miraculous escapes . from death,- and ' seemed to have a charmed life . until . be ran against a snag in Denver. . On May 6, 1914, he shot and killed Lloyd F.j Nicodemus, a f Denver hotel man. He j was . convicted of the crime, but has since put up a strong fight for free dom on. the plea of insanity. Stay of sent enee was. granted him three times by u-the Supreme; Conrt,; vhich; finally j AartAaA -'lactrhVi'ritfi : tlTdt: .Tt'uYcnA mnat I hang in the. week beginning.May l: I The shooting took, ulafie at the- Savoy Hotel, where Bulger maintained j headquarter of a recruiting, 1 station to raise a regiment for what he ex pected would be a war between the United States and Mexico., He had served in Mexican revolutions and iin uprisings in other Iatin American countries ,and was preparing to make a great hero of himself in the eyes of his fellow Americans. ! In 1912 Bulger gained notoriety by "shooting up" the town of Bulgar, Colo., which had been named after him. He figured in other melodrama tic stunts, and was known as a real "bad man". Later, he shot and wound ed J. R. Franklin, a private in the United States army at El Paso, Texas. Bulger led sl charmed life. and. es caped from his follies many times by' rare luck. In the present case, for: which he is to forfeit his life, he near ly fooled .the hankman.: ; A jury was reporting; on; his- sanity in January and through error returned the ver dict that Bulgar was insane. The soldier of fortune smiled broadly and hi sattorneya were congratulating him when the jury foreman arose and de clared a mistake had heen made.
