Against ..Rev. Cuddy. DID,"

Against .'Rev. Cuddy. DID,"
A coIored man named Henry Simmons
called at police headquarters here yester-
day afternoon to lodge a charge against
another colored man, whom he supposed
was a minister, and who had introduced
himself to the complainant recently as the
Rev. Cuddy, DID," of this city. Simmons
lives near Curtis bay, Baltimore, and he
says the man whom he thought vas a min
lister called at his house and said he Tad a
valuable horse that he would sell cheap
He short of funds, but if the Bati-
MORGAN would pay his fare over here he
would make the deal. and allow him the
amount paid for transportation.
The Rev. Cuddy' was a guest at Sim
mons house for few days and Thurs
day night they came over on the train to-
gether. When they reached the depot the
alleged preacher asked fer the loan of j
cents, but Simmons, who had no change,
gave him what he supposed was a So bill,
feeling confident that he would get the
change.
1t turned out that he had really given
him $40 bill, and as the preacher friend
had disappeared he called on the police
and stated his grievance. Last night the
detectives sent out to the several police
stations 4 description of the man wanted
and instructed the officers to arrest him.
