Two slippery green goods men of this
great city are bemoanig the loss OF $2,OSO
in brand-new treasury notes, while Jon
Ungdary, an over-wily Hungarian of
South Norwalk, Conn, who came to town
to square an old score with the green
goods manipulators, Is out $500. Further
more. Ungdary and his 16-year-old son,
Jon Ungdary, Jr., spent last night in the
custody of Capt. Timothy j. Creeden of
the Newtown police headquarters. Capt.
Creeden took charge of the money left
behind by the green goods men
To all outward appearance Ungardy is
a harmless sort Of person. His thick black
hair bristles over his head after the style
affected by his cOuntrymen. There is moth
ing ferocious looking about him. His son
is below medium hight but of sturdy
build. Ungardy took his first lesson in
buying green goods about year ago 1t
cost him $500 to learn it, and he went
back to his home with broadened views
on New York city and its people. For
year he nursed his wrath and
saved his money. Yesterday morning, with
500 and a big 3S-caliber revolver in his
nip pocket, he came TO New York again.
He was accompanied by his son, who also
carried hidden away, a ferocious looking
revolver
There was an air of logged determina-
ton about the pair as they got off a train
at the Grand Central depot, and walked
with ostentatOus caution toward Lexing-
ton avenue. By preaTangement Ungardy
carried red handkerchief In his left nand.
and as the pair approached the corner OF
Forty-se street and Lexington avenue
they were approached by smiling we'll

red handkerchief. There was a warm
handed handshake all around, and with
father and son on either side and his arms
linked through theirs the newcomer
proudly marched the pair away. They
boarded a downtown car and later took
ferry that carried them across to Brook
lyn and from there by trolley brought 10
into East Williamsburg On the Journey
Ungardy and his son were amused by the
stories tod by their guide AT intervals
he smiled upon them benignly and rubbed
his hands Ungardy asserts that the fei.
low several times patted him on the back
saying at the time:
You're my meat! Just my sizel Oh
dearl Oh. dearp'
Ungardy and his son were ticlxled i'm
mensely over this demonstration of friend
ship on the part of their new friend They
shook hands with him, laughing, again
and again. On the Journey their guide
watched over tUem with the greatest o.
hcitude. Once, when Ungardy was mis-
takenly boarding the wrong car, his guide
followed, and, catching him affectionate-
~ by the arm, exclaimed:
"Ohl you can't lose me, can't lose mel
Only few more left, old man. War has
taken 'em Off. Need all that are left! No
no; can't lose me-"
They were led into saloon at Broad
street and Flushing avenue The saloon
is kept by Seller Bros In a room over
the saloon a second man was found The
door was closed and made fast to guard
against surprise. On a bare pine table
the occupant Of the room spread out stack
after stack of bright treasury notes, fresh
from Uncle Sans printing presses. The
packages had apparently never been
broken.
Just as good as gold, gentlemen; just as
good as gold" said the man who was
handling the money. He was properly
cheerful for he was telling the truth for
once. PITY to see II go at this price Too
cheap, too cheap; but times are hard War,
you know"
1t had been agreed that Ungardy should
get 5000 of this nice, crisp new money for
$500 Ungardy placed his $500 on the table
as a show of good faith Then the discus
sion began. The men manipulating the
money said they would do 1t up nicely for
Ungardy and pack it I'm a sachel We
could carry it away unobseryed, they
