secured a policy, apparently genuine.

the mill and desired to have she policy
transferred to the new purchaser. He went

stolen from the company, and Burnett was
making good money out Of them, and the

Of the facts and a description of the man,
and is very anxious to get him. No trace of
him could be found here, but the search

proved himself to be very slick. And he
has got away with quite snug little sum

here and went among them, claiming to be
a representative of the Keystone Invest
ment, Savings and Loan Association OF
New York. He went among the negroes
and IN glowing terms he told of the great
advantages stockholders in his company
had for securing money. All you had to do
was to become stakeholder ana in thirty
days you could get all the money you
wanted. In the first place you had to pay
for this rriv ilaya yiR mt of hof
you could borrow money in fabulous
sums, and the ignorant negroes were not
slow to see the great boon this company
would be to them. 50 about $3.50 was put
in Browns pocket and he left them, each
deluded subscriber holding properly signed
and sealed certificate Of membership. The
thirty days expired and applications for
loans began to be made, and it was not long
before the stockholders found they had been
bamboozled out of their money. They were
indignant, righteously indignant, ana APP
pointed Titus Stephens to come to Albany
and look for Brown. Stephens reported the
matter to the police and it was found that
Brown was in Jacksonville sick, and his
wife was in Albany. She left Saturday for
Jacksonville, and Titus took steps to have
Brown arrested.
