victims were easy. and by the time lie hal
decided he cared no longer TO linGer in the
capital he is alleged to have obtained
several hundred dollars from the unsus-
pecting. 1t is said that he hal been spend
ing the season at Newport ami was on his
way To other fields when his arrest was
made.
The smooth gentle man stopped with Pro-
prietor Burton, at tie National Hotel. He
| stayed for weeks. and when his case was
presented to the grand jury Mr. Burton had
to relatcthathis guest ow cd him about $50.
HuSilemap posed as wealthy man. His
looks bore hir, out in his alleged deception.

pert into the mining regions AR Smith
of No. 922 street northwest. discounted
the note, and it is said Hustlerran applied
the money to his individual Use.
1t is not improbable that the even more
serious charge of bisamy may be placed
against the man

received from Wooster. o., Stating that he
was wanted by number of women there
who had called him husband
