doc Smart, noted Western bandit,
with two confederates, bought all the
playing cards at FL Paso, at Goldsberg's
stationery store, paving for them SO,
and when questioned as to what they in
tended doing with them said that they
were going up in the mines and expected
to do great business, but if they failed
would like the privilege to return what
they did not use. Goldsberg consented.
and in a few days they returned with
about half of them.
This same Goldsberg was in the habit
of furnishing all the faro banks in town
with cards, and upon receiving orders
for them and having none on hand ex
cept those returned 10y Smart he divided
the lot between the different banks"

Fl Paso was "busted" 10y Smart and a

broke examined their cards, and found
that every card had been ''pinched."
An investigation at each "bank"
showed their cards "pinched" in the
same manner. 1t was found out next
day that Smart had returned these cards

clded that Smart and his gang ''pinched"
them. The town was too hot for him
