A strange man and woman have been
working the ministers in many towns OF
this state, with this scheme They apply
at the residence of minister and state
that they wish to be married. As soon
as the minister has performed the cero-
mony the newly married man presents
a twenty dollar counterfeit bill and
kindly asks the clergyman to return ten
or fifteen dollars in change, and the
much married couple leave for greener
fields to repeat the same game on
another minister. They only work the
pastors in small towns, who seem to fall
an easy victim to the confidence mar
riage game.
