ANOTHER VCTlM.

An Aged Michigan Woman Loses S12, 600
on the Moss Grown Gold Brick Swindle.
With eyes brimful of happy anticipa-
ton an aged woman presented two
kings" Of bright metal to the chief
weigher at the mint. She believed that
the two Jumps Of metal were gold worth
$50, 900, and when informed that they
were but copper and zinc, worth 50 or
SO, she turned away with heavy heart
and sought the train to bear her back
to her home in Jackson, Mich. She had
paid $l2, 600 for the stuff and had jour
neyed all the way east to realize upon it.
The story Of the unfortunate woman S
loss was told to the mint officials. She
was Mrs. Harriet Morgan, who resides
In Jackson, and with her were her SON
ln-law, Charles Helleg, and DR.. Blancb-
ard. the family physician. Some 10
years ago Mrs. Morgan, who is quite
wealthy, had advanced to a nephew $6,-
900 to start business. He was profuse
in his expressions of gratitude and prom
ised that as business prospered with him
he would return the loan with ample
interest. The nephew went away, and
his aunt heard nothing of him until re-
Gently. She had about abandoned hope
of securing the return of her loan, when
ono day stranger came to her with the
announcement that he represented her
nephew. The latter had prospered we'll
in gold mining, and as an evidence of
dis success had sent her two gold bricks
or kings" These weighed fully So
pounds and were worth $50, 900. These
the nephew desired to present to his
aunt In return for her loan and another
small payment. Mrs. Morgan, delight
cd, paid .he stranger $4,000 and re-
oeived the kings" which she guarded
carefully -Philadelphi Record.

case against John Tyrrell, charged With
blowing up Curtin's boarding house,

four men. Graham testified that he
lodged in deserted house next to Cur
tins place and that shortly before the
explosion he saw Tyrrsll leaving Cur
