A Richmond Drummer Taken In By

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, oct. 10-Special.
Monday night at 1880 o'clock Mr.. II. L.
Heartwel, travelling salesman for the
n. c. Williams Company, tobacco manu-
facturers of Richmond. Va, arrived IN
the city and put up at the Caldwell Hotel.
Yesterday morning. while he was out
working his city trade, some professional
crook relieved him Of his Valise which
was I'm his room. The way the thing came
about was this: About IL O'Clock Alue
negro boy came up 10 the hotel and
handed the clerk a note, whicn read as
follows:
Mr. r. b. Freeman, Caldwell Hotel:
Please let bearer have my valise out or
my room. ] DO not mean my sample case.
II. j.. HaTtwell.
A porter was at once sent to Mr. Heart
wells room. and the valise brought down
and turned over TO the bearer OF a sup
posed genuine note. This crook who had
sent this negro with forged note ordered
the valise left at the Metropolitan Hotel,
which is only a block from the Union
Passenger Station. Instead Of waiting at
the METROPOLITAN until the negro came
back. the crook walked within two blocks
of the Caldwell, where he met the negro
and took the valise. When Mr. Heart
well returned 10 his room he was sur
prised to find that his valise had disap-
peared and upon investigation the above
was found to be the facts i'm the case.
About week ago some one sent the
following telegram to Mr. Heartwell's
house
Terry. Miss.

70 this telegram there was upon the
part of the house a prompt response in
the affirmative, and the express agent at

the money was the same man who sent
the telegram. Whether the same man who
got the money got Mr.. Heartwlls valise

and that is that whoever did this is
evidently a clever professional and is
well up in his business.
