Philip Henry and George Robinson are
two very old and very smooth negro bun
co steerers. They got Jim Watts a ne
gro with hayseed very fresh upon his
clothes, for $50 by a very old scheme, but
to Jim it was very original and proved
very successful, If the unpleasant feature
of their having landed in the tolls can be
disregarded by Philip and George. Philip
versation. After a while he represented
himself as the representative of one of
the clothing stores of the city and want
ed Jim to buy a ticket that would give
him a chance at either coat or hat or
some other article of ap-
parel. While the bargaining was
going on, George approached and asked
Jim to change 30 cents for him. The lat
ter was impressed with the suavity of
the pleasant darky's manners and went
into his clothes for his pocketbook. He
opened this and got out the change, at
the same time disclosing to the envious
eyes of his companion a couple of treas
ury notes. Hello said Philip, "aint
dat some oh dat new money?
Lemme see it, Not suspecting,
Jim was soft enough to come
across and Philip got the money in his
clutches. 1t did not remain there, how
ever, for George reached for it and made
a break Jim watched the negro and his
money disappear and then notified the
police. The detectives, by some clever
work, caught the two smooth darkeys and
they are now where they should be- Philip
said George whacked up with him.
