A. S. Won Camp is a victim Of mis-
placed confidence. Mr.. Won Ramp has

About three weeks ago William J. Nut

ployed atfths De Soto bar three or four
years ago. More recently he has been
employed as manager of the Eldorado
hotel at Broadway and Twenty Eighth
streets, New York. The Eldorado did not
prove financial success and NiIttan came
south to look for job.
Mr.. Won Ramp met Nuttall last year at
the Eldorado hotel and the latter assisted.
10 make his stay in New
York pleasant. NuttaE was on
his uppers when he arrived in Sa-
vannah and Won Ramp kindly undertook
TO look out for him. He shared his room
with him and endeavored to secure him a
position without success. He showed his
Kindness for Nuttall in many other ways.
Nuttall. naturally having nothing else to
do, spent "a good deal Of his time around
the saloon ana restaurant. Saturday af-
ternoon Won Ramp found. himself short
of small change, and knowing that he
would need a good deal Of small change
for the night trade decided TO send out for
a supply. Nuttan was in the saloon and
was given forty-hve dollars in bills to go
out and get changed into silver. Won

again until about o'clock. He had then
been gone about two hours and Won Kamp
concluded at once that something was
wrong.
He went out on the street looking for him
and not finding him he thought 1t would
be just as well to so to his room at No. 50
Broughton street. AS he suspected he
found that Nuttall had been there before
him. The room had been stripped of
pretty much every thing ofvalue. An in
ventory showed that a new suit of clothes,
a hat, a pair of patent leather shoes,
valise and a large quantity Of underwear
were missing. IL is supposed that Nuttal
packed the things into the valise. Mr..
Won Ramp had recently replenished his
wardrobe and had a large quantity of
shirts, collars, handkerchiefs and other
accessories on hand, all of which were
missing Nuttall had left him practically
nothing but the clothes he had on his
back.
Mr.. Won Ramp at once secured the SER
vices of Detective Bossell and Kavanaugh
and put the case in their hands. He is
now as anxious to apprehend his whilom
friend and see him punished as he former
ly was to befriend him.
He estimates his total loss by Nuttalis
thefts at about $3.50 He says it is not so
much what he lost by Nuttall as the mean
manner in which he was treated after all
his kindness to Nuttan that made him. de-
termined to secure his capture and pun
ishment if possible.

known to the patrons of Manning's, Is

with to-day on account of his loss.
Nuttall is supposed to have left the city
and kilograms have been sent to the police
of neighboring cities asking his apprehen-
sion.
