HE HUNTS CHUMPS.
A NEW FAKE NOT COVERED BY
THE LAW.
How an Enterprfsing Fly-by might Show

cats-The Way 1t Is Worked.

"There's a new fake being worked in
Southern California;" said member of
the police detective bureau yesterday to
HERALD reporter, land it shows how
metropolitan we are getting, for usually
this play has been confined to large
cities.
1.-The lay is like this. A clever sort of
fellow bobs up in town with some sort
of lyby-night show. Somehow there's
nothing catches chumps so well as a
show fake. Well, this fellow will adver-
tse in all the papers like this:
'WANTED-A manager to take charge
of a paying attraction no experience nee
essary; must have some cash capital
Address G. c.
"Well, one case was working on re-
Gently ehowed that such an advertise
ment brought out fifteen answers, and
some OF them were from sensible men.
You know some of them. Two were
lawyers who are not doing much; one
was policeman, another was dentist,
and the rest were clerks and men who
had saved up little money. An appli-
cant would answer G. C.'s card and a
meeting would be arranged. G. G..
is smooth talker, and the
applicant would be engaged as
advance agent and would be required
to deposit 5000 or $500, or whatever G.
G. could get out of him as security"
and then he would be sent to some out
eide town, say San Diego, to arr nge
for the performance there. Applicant
number two would then turn up and he
would be handled the same way and be
sent to another place, say to Santa Bar
bara; the next one would give up his
good stuff and be shipped to Fresno,
and 90 on. As fast as they tumbled to
the racket they would come and COM
plain to US, but, Lord bless you, we
could do nothing for them. G. G. had
kept within the law and all they could
do was to bring civil suit for the
money they had given up; but that did
them no good, as g. c. was judgmen
proof. There is no way of stopping the
game, as long as the supply OF fools is
not exhausted, for it does not come
under the criminal law"
