ONE OF THE "OLD Fools" PUNISHED. A
singular case of infatuation was brought to
light on Saturday in New York, the victim
being Mr.. J. Franklin Langley of Norfolk.
Va, who has been swindled out of about
$1,000. 1t appears that MIR. l.. recently arriv-
ed in that city, and put up at the Astor
House. On Friday last, he was met by two
girls named Emma Howard and Mary Rus
sell, who inveigled him into a thieving den
kept in the rear of 81 Elm street. by William
Howard, where he was kept in a semi stupor
state, and heeeed out of nearly all his money.
He finally became desperately in love with
Mary Russell, and offered to marry her.-She
consented, and he bought her several silk
dresses and handsome wardrobe, besides
several articles of iewelry. He afterwards
took her to Jersey City to get married, but the
girl backed out, and sale, all she wanted of
him was his presents, and that when she did
get married she wanted somebody besides an
old fool. This brought Mr.. Langley to his
senses, and he found the girl and her accom-
plices had duped him out of about $500, all
he had with him except S.. He then went
to the Deputy Superintendent of Police and
told his sad tale, and the result was that
Howard and one Jack Russell and the two
girls were arrested and locked up to answer a
charge of conspiracy. Most of the wardrobe
and jewelry which Mr.. l.. had purchased for
the girl, was recovered and given in charge of
the Property Clerk, but several hundred dol.
lars, which the gang got from him is still
missing. Mr.. Langley is resident of Norfolk,
and is about 40 years of age. He recently
returned from California.
