A PENSION sWINDLE.

Two People Who Beat the Government Out
of Over Two Thousand Dollars.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArCHi
BEILAIRE. O., Dec. 1O.-Captain Little, a
policeman of this place, who also acted as pen
sion agent, assisted Caroline Switzer, of Bel
laire. to get her pension by perjury. They
obtained 81, lao by means of fraud. and it is
alleged he secured S400 for his share of the
transaction. The woman was convicted Satur-
day last, and yesterday the CAPTAIN was also
convicted and sent to jail at Columbus to await
sentence.
From the evidence at the trial it appears that
others were mixed up in the affair, and other
arrests are likely to follow this attempt to de-
fraud the Government. The Government will
not lose cent. however. as the bank that
cashed the forged papers will lose all.
