HE'S A GOOD ONE.
BECAUSE HE BEAT THE GREEN

Mr., johnson, of West virginia, Tells How
His Partner Got Awny with $1,000
in New York.

says the New York World. Both were DIS
charged in court tho next morning. IL
was supposed that there was Q green-goods
game back of the fight. but there was no
evidence.
When johnson got out Of the lookup he
went to Manhattan Hospital to have his
Injuries dressed, and while there he told
tho house surgeon An interesting story
confirming the green-goods suspicious.
The green-goods men of the upper part
of the city have been flooding the neigh
borhood in which Johnson lives with cir-
culars. Anumber of his friends took the
bait with usual results. johnson ana D
fellow-driver heard how the green-goods
men showed their intended victims PACK;
ages of good money and then transferred
packages of paper to the box which they
turned over to their customers. The TWO
young men concluded that they were equal
to the green-goods sharks, and they came
to this city by appointment on Tuesday.
| They met man az Mott Haven and were
conducted to building in the neighbour
hood of Fourth avenue and 1lSth street.
| There tho two young men from the coun-
try met two more green-goods men. VINO
exhibited several packages of good money
! which they pretended they wished 10 as
pose of at q bargain. Johnson's compan-
| ion picked up the money and began 70 ex-
! anime il. Suddenly he dashed out OF the
room with the cash. amounting TO over
| $1,000. The action was so sudden ana 80
unexpected that the young man had reach-
| ed the street before the green-goods men
| fully comprehended what had happened.
johnson shot out next. The three sharp
ers quickly followed.
The trio chased Johnson, he SAID,
through Mount Morris Park. to llIth
street and Eighth avenue, where 0ns
of them caught up with him, pulled
a big revolver and struck him ovel
the head with 1t. knocking him down.
Mounted-PolIcemaD Andessner saw tne
assault and whipped up to the spot, Line
green-goods man who knocked Johnson
down was Morrison. When he saw the
policeman coming he and his companions
| ran for their lives. Andessner chased BLOT
rison through 1l7th street and Slxtr
avenue, thence 70 10th street and from
there to Mount Morris Park. where az
caught him in clump of bushes:
In the Police Court the next day John'
son said he was not sure that Morrsor
was the man who hit him. and the Judge
discharged them both. Johnson did mol
know where his partner was, but he nopeo
he had gone home with the money.
