throwing the cards about and induced MIR. Truxeli's
new found friend ~ to het that nc could pick out
certain card. He lost his money but he knew Just
where the card was. and IL he had a little more
money he could point right to it. Oh. he was sure
OF 1t. Mr.. Truxell had some money and he loaned
his "friend" $780, but the friend did not succeed in
finding the right card. wen, he kept on borrowing
and losing until he mad obtained from Mr. Truxell
Slg0 Then they both left together His '.rrlend"
said they might get some redress by applying at the
police ONCE, and he volunteered TO go and see about
the matter, and lett MIR. TruXe 20 watch the place.
Alter some time the friend returned and stated that
