CONFIDENCE MEN IN WEST STREET
A deputy sheriff walking along Westst. yester-
day had his attention attracted by confidence
operator Introducing himself to q couDtryman.
The sw indler addressed the stranger by fictitious
name when the latter assured him OF his mistake.
They we're soon on apparently good terms. Both
were watched with considerable interest by
policeman only twenty feet away. The confidence
man finally induced the cOuntryman t. go with
him. and they were followed by the deputy sheriff
and the ohcer until they went into a place in Lib
erty-st., between Greenwich and Washn ztOn-sts.
The policeman then turned around and wanted to
know what business the deputy. sheriff had In
spelling our business" The deputy showed his
badge. when the officer remarked "Oh that's
nothlng we have those badges ourselves and il
you want to save yOuI head you mad better go
about your business" The deputy then looked for u
policeman to assist him, and upon addressing q
II undsmap and stating the fact. the latter cynl-
cay replied: "Why don't you follow than up
yoursclff' Finding he could get no ASSISTANCE
from the police the deputy concluded that it would
not be safe to work auy further on the case hence
the COUNT yman was doubtless swindled. IL Is
stated that West-st is infested by confidence
operators, no are protected more by the guard
