therefore, will be quartered in the middle

How a Shaper Worked Sherwood lliggs
For SO.

For $40.
One Of the boldest and cleverest flimr
flam games on record was worked here
yesterday. The victim was promin-
ent dry goods merchant.
Sunday morning a young man and Z
handsome woman came in ON the 2;l6
train, and registered at the Carrollton
Hotel as wv NJ. Chambers and wife,
Dallas, Tex
he man looked to be about 80 and
the woman about q. They had only
yalses. The man made inquiries us
to the outgoing trains, saying he wished
10 20 to Atlanta. This was Smnlay.
Yesterday morning he walked into the
store of Sherwood Higgs and asked the
cashier if she minded giving him a so
note for some smaller bills, which he
laid upon the counter He wanted 70
send it off in Il letter. he said, holding
M, an addressed envelope with special
delivery stamp on it.
T'i.o cashier did not mind accommo-
dating him. of course. She put the bill
mon the counter and took up the smaller
bills to count them. While she was do
ine SO the man put the money in the en-
velope and sealed it up
There is only 50 here, SIR" said the
cashier.
"Oh. TO, you must be mistaken" said
the fellow.
She counted it over again slowly be-
fore him.
"There's only So she repeated zone
81 and seven 81 bills"
but I've sealed your money up IN
this special delivery letter. I'm very
sorry. Ny brother just made a mistake.
If you'll just take the letter and money
in it. though, I'll take these bills back
and show him the error and I'll be back
in few minutes"
That seemed fair enough. The cashier
took the letter Had she not seen tho
man. with her own eyes, put the money
in the envelope and seal it mp? To be
sure she hard. So she took the letter and
the man took his so in bills and hur-
ried away.
And he never came back. They waited
and waited. Inquiry revealed the start
ling fact that the fellow with his
wife had boarded the Seaboard train for
Portsmouth. A trick was nj once sus-
pected. The letter was opened by the
police.
1t was no letter Mt MI. Just Il hale Of
sheet Of writing paper properly folded.
And that wad that felt SO much like a
bill it was simply a piece of newspaper,

The police at Norfolk were at once
wired for the man had bought tickets
to that point. He was arrested MS he
stepped off the train and the chief OF
police here Mt once notified. Last night

"Chambers." II Ire proves to be the
right man requisition papers will be al
once forwarded and he will be brought

There can be little doubt, though, that
he's the man wanted. His signature on
the hotel register and the address on the
envelope left ut Higgs' is in the same
hand and the description fits exactly.
