DIRECTORY sWINDLER MARRIED.
He IL Supposed to Have Collected 81. 900 from
Merchants.

Ntrcnnntn.
A man who called himself James J. Martin
was arrested yesterday afternoon by tho Mcr-
Ger street police for swindling merchants in
tho dry goods district by getting advertise
mcnts for a bogus directory. Complaint was
made by Thomas Concau Of l76 Wooster street
and Victor Ball of 102 West Third street.
These men allcge that Martin visited their
places of business representing that he was the
agent of the Phillips Directory Publishing
Company. He had what purportcd to be Gre
dentials from this concern authorizing him to
solicit advertisements for Il directory and to
collect payment therefor in advance Of publ
cation.
Tho rates he offered were so unusually cheap
that he caught Coneau and Bali each for
a 5O.cent advertisement. After no had left
them they became suspicious and went to the
Mercer street station house. Martin was ar
rested q short time later.
From papers found on him the police think
that his work has been very extensive. They
profess to believe that he must have collected
AS much as 81. 600. Marin, who is well dressed
and well groomed. would make no statement.
There is a Phillips business directory pub
lished by w. Phillips & Co. of 81 Nassau street.
So far as known, there Is no Phillips Directory
Publishing Company. No address was found on
any OF Martins papers.
