POSSIBLY THE SAME GANG.

He told Mr.. Gaines of how he had been
taken 10 the same spot where Mr.. With
ers got his new experience. was carried
through similar processes, and how ne
had paid the money for the ponderous
brick. The Indian feature was, OF course,
an important detail, and the entire trans
action was carried out IN identically the
same way as that employed In the afrair
OF last Friday.
Mr.. Gaines. in whom the well-known
business man conlided, now has the brick
in his possession, but he declines to give
the name of his friend, who preferred TO
permit the scoundrels TO escape rather
than be exposed in the mattsr.
The gentleman witnessed the boring OF
the brick, and took. as he believed, some
Of the samples, and had them analysed.
They showed remarkable tineness. and he
deposited the brick with Mr.. Gaines u
day after the transaction. Mr.. Gaines, as
soon as he was informed Of the transac-
:ion said: why, my friend. you nave
been robbed" and subsequent investlga-
ton proved his theory to be correct"
Meantime the swndlers had ample OPP
portunity TO get away, which they lost
no time in doing. The matter was hushed
up, and no account of IL ever appeared
IN print.
There Is reason to believe that the men
who swindled Mr. Withers are the same
scoundrels who put up the job on the
gentleman whose name is not given, ana
also the same rascals who worked sim
