THE FLIM-FLANI GAME
Played On q CoIored Man. but the Operator
Was Arrested.

Augustus Irvine, colored citizen of vir-
ginia, learned something of city life this morn
ing while in this city, and his experience came
near costing him IS. Augustus had been visit
ing friends and the time had arrived for him
to return home He went to the Baltimore and
Potomac depot, bought a ticket for his home
and took a seat in the car.
He was sitting there in the car thinking Of
the good time he had had and of the enthusi-
astic reception he would receive at home when
a nicely dressed young man came through the
car, tapped him on the shoulder and succeeded
In playing the him-fam game on him The
stranger was a pleasant talker and was ex-
Tenlely accommodating. He had plenty OF
money, to all appearances, and, above AL, ne
had many 81 bills.
The small bills took up too much room in his
pocket and he wanted larger ones for them.
Five-dollar bills Just suited and the unsuspect-
ing colored citizen had two of them.
One of the bills was produced and i've ones
were counted out on his knee. Irvine counted
them and found them all right and then the
other bill came out. The stranger had his Is
notes and he had what he thought was $40 of
the strangers money, but when he counted
what he had he discovered that he only had IS.
The train was about to start then, but Twine
got off to look for the man who had his money
and he complained to Sergeant Joseph Acton.
That officer arrested a man who gave his name
as Winfield Bontz and Irvine fully identified
him as the man. although he denied that he
had seen Bontz before.
The prisoner had q railroad ticket in his
pocket for Hamilton, but that train did not
leave until thirty minutes after the train on
which the cOlored man was going.
Bontz was taken to the Police Court and
tried for larceny.
Judge Miller held him guilty Of the charge
and imposed a fine of $50 or sixty days in Jail
and ordered restitu ton.
