LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LUVnL IN LLLIuENUEs
A CONFIDENCE GAME ON A HUSBAND
Recently there cams to hotel in this CITY a
man and woman, who registered and were
assigned separate rooms. They remained
two days and nights, and on the second
morning the man reported that his room had
been entered and his pockets rihed of $500.
Officers were at once notified of the occur
renee, and began an investigation which re-
suited in the discontinue of the complain
ant. 1t seems that the man registered a
fictitious name, and is an up-ceuntry stage
driver, working for a salary Of $40 per month
The woman Is married and has a family The
.)ehu was a good friend of man and wife, and
being an eccentric individual, had promised
to give the woman $500. with which to pay
her expenses on a visit to the East The
husband accompanied the couple to
the nearest railway station, where he
babe his wife farewell his friend
agreeing to come to Sacramento and see her
safely started on the journey, and in the
presence of the woman's husband presented
her with $780, and was to deliver $500 at
Sacramento. Instead of doing this, however
as pretended matter of caution he took
charge of her money, and it was of this and
the other unseen $500 that he claimed to have
been robbed. The Waterman of the hotel
passed by the door of the mans room at 5
o'clock in the morning, and, seeing the door
ajar, pushed it wide open, and discovered
that the room had not been occupied and that
the man had spent the night esewhere-pos-
sibly at faro bank. The result of several
interviews convinced the officers that he
never had $500, and that the 5000 was saved
for the original owner, who had been playing
upon the credulity of both the man and his
wife. Being disappointed in an effort to
convince the landlord of his truthfulness, he
quietly paid his bill, and by the afternoon
train returned with the woman to palm the
joke Oft on the trusting husband.
