4 GERMAN SWINDLER.-Th Cologne
Zeitung has the following account of q
smart swindler:
An unparalleled swindle, lately perpe
trated in provincial capital, has caused
much stir. A gentleman stepped into
the store of merchant, followed by a
servant The gentleman, who wore his
right arm in sling, was taken for mil
itary pensioner, and the merchant gladly
placed before him such articles as he ask.
ed for. When he came to settle the &C
count, however, he found he had not suf-
ticient money, so he asked the merchant
to write note from his dictation to his
wife, which he would send to his hotel
by his servant The merchant unsuspi.
ciously wrote as was desired and on a
sheet bearing the name of the firm, these
words: ee :.
"Send me Immediately by the bearer,
two hundred thalers. Yours, Robert "
He, smiling, closed up the note with the
expression, All, then, we are name
sakes!" The servant took the note, and
soon returned with the required sum.
The gentleman paid for his wares, gave
them to his servant TO carry, and then
went away. Some hours after, the wife
of the merchant visited him, and, after
talking of sundry things, suddenly asked
him why he sent for the two hundred
thalers. The man was rendered speech
less with astonishment when he saw what
a cheat had been played upon him. The
search after the sharper has not yet been
successful. 70
