Another offense was charged yesterday
afternoon at police headquarters against
Miss Pctreia M. Dolard, the clever young
woman swindler, who for several weeks

nent Washington Masons, by representing
herself as an agent for a book called The
Story of CUBA and collecting payment
without delivering the book.
Last Monday the young woman entered
Mays ticket brokerage office, under the
Metropolitan Hotel, and inquired the price
of ticket to Pittsburg Mr.. May told her
that he could secure her transportation to
Pittsburg for Sc so, the regular fare being
something over SS. but that it would be
necessary to procure a 1,0o0-Inile ticket
which would cost $50. aud that upon arliv-
Ing at her destination she could receive
rebate of S13. 80 at a ticket brokers'. This
she said she would be unable to do, as she

however, by Mr.. May going out and pur-
