by this man, who is said to be Interested
IN bunko game. Morrison met Ad-
ANS on the street, and, assuming to be Q
relative and political friend, decoysd
him to place in Boyston street, where
the game was progressing. Adams was
confused and did not seem to know what
he vasabout. and the sharpers finally in
duced him to sign and endorse three
checks, ono for $l75O, one for $16Co and
ono for $500. Morrison said he did not
believe Mr.Adams knew what he was do
ing, and, as he saw him after tho swindle
coming from his home without any ap-
parent agitation, he (Morrison) sup
posed Adams had concluded TO allow
tho checks 10 be paid. Another man
named Morton is implicated but not yet
arrested. The matter Was worked up
by detectives employed by Adams's
clerk. Adams, who is seventy six years
old, has been somewhat i'll for two years
and his mind at times is affected. He
does not yet seem to realize the extent
or nature Of the transaction. The largest
check was tho only ono deposited.
