svvIndIed by Confidence Men-A Clever
 Trick by Which a Restaurant Keeper
 Loses Nearly Six ThOusand Dollars:
 BALTIMORE, May 20.-A very adroit and successful swindle was perpetrated upon Marcello Triaca, an Italian restaurant keeper in this city, which, although 1t has been several weeks since the scheme was first put in motion, eliminated gold watch, two gold chains and other jewell ry The affair came to light tonight. Some weeks ago Triaca made the acquaint- ance of ''big man" whose name he does not remember and who said he had just arrived from California The stranger took a room with Triaca. He seemed to have ample funds and deposited $1, 800 in the bank. Yesterday Triaca and his guest were walking along Light street when they met stranger who approached Triaca and said, ''You are a countrymsn of mine." The new conner said he had just arrived from Colorado and that he was made the heir of rich uncle there. He appeared to be dazed and Triaca, doubtine the mans sanity, asked him if he knew
 what city he was in. @He replied ''Ohicago, '' and became very much excited when in. formed to the contrary and said he must
 start for Chicago immediately. He opened a satcheI and showed Triaca lot of packages which he said contained gold bars and asked Triaca to care fol the satcheI from him. The friend then came to Triaca's relief. saying that as they had
 money in the bank they might draw il out and give it to the stranger ae security. Triaca agreed and drew
 all his money, $5,60O, from the bank,
 his friend drawing his $1, 500. The whole amount was given to the stranger and the
 satchel eltransferredt to Triaca's keeping. Triaca'l friend volunteered to accompany the stranger | to the depot and they left and have not be CT
 heard from since. Triaca after wards opened l the satchel to find the gold bars were iror finch pins. He also missed his jewelry fron
 his room. The police have the matter IF hand.
