Andrews had just fallen heir to 81. 200
and he proved an easy victim With Sl,.
200 TO purchase the counterfeit money and
200 in treasury notes to mix in Andrews
could see how fortune could be made
and the words "redrcd gentleman" daz.
zled before his eyes
1t was decided chat Andrews should ar
rive in Phillipsburg. n. j., Saturday,
where he was to be met by the bunko
men. According TO directions he seated
himself in the station. A rcd ribbon tied
to his vest made his identity known. The
two swindlers strollei over to Easton,
Pa, where the swindlcr told Andrews he
would show him how easy IL was TO pass
the bills They made several small pur-
chascs and each time the swindler handed
cut "a SO bill, and was given legal tender
In change Andrews, prcsuming the bills
were counteffeit. became anxious and re-
luestcd that the exchange take place.
Bound Brook was. suggested as n good
place TO make tho exchange. and tho two
left on the ll:l3 train When they arrived
at Bound Brook they were met by two
men and carriage After an introduc-
tion and hand-shalSing the three en-
tered the carriage and were driven into
the country.
On returning to Bound Brook and just
before the 2:l4 train was due the swim
dlers counted out the $13 000 and put II in
the usual tin box, which was locked.
Andrews then handed over his cash. The
driver was told TO whip up the animal.
and thcy arrived just as the train was
about leaving Andrews succeeded in
boarding it, and when the train had gone
several miles he attempted 70 open the
box. The key did not fit and he became
suspicious. He broke it open and found
it contained a 81 bill and lot Of tinted
paper. Whenthe train reached Fleming
ton junction the man alighted and re-
turned to Bound Brook on the evening
train, but failed To obtain any clew t.
the swindlers. He was afraid to inform
the police, fearing arrest, and left on q
late train for his home.
