A CoLoRED MAN FLEEcED.- VIZ
liam Walker, q colored man, who =
sides at Bailey's Gross Roads, Fairfax
county, complained to Inspector Hol
linberger in Washington yesterday that
he had been swindled out of of $3.50
by an unknown colored man yesterday
morning. According to Walkers story,
he was awakened about 8 o'clock in
the morning by a man who came to the
door and notified him that his brother
in-law, William S. Jones, who is serv-
ing in the army in Dakota, was dead,
telegram to that effect having been
received at the War Department. He
said that he had been sent out to tell
the relatives of the deceased and to OBJ
tain money to pay the freight on bring
ing the remains back to Washington.
Walker hitched up his horse and bug
gy and brought the man to the Balti-
more and Ohio depot in Washington.
He then secured $3.50 from Walker
and went into the depot to pay the
railroad bill, which he said amounted
10 that sum, telling Walker to wait for
him. While Walker stood in the wait
ing room the man departed through
another door, leaving his victim stand
ing in the depot. Walker remained
there for about an hour, when he be-
came suspicious and commenced .
search which showed him that he had
been fieeced.
