PARKERsBURG, June 21.-The
details of one of the biggest film
fam games ever worked in Park
ersburg came to light today when
a relative of the old man who was
6eeced out of about $4,000 came
to the city to look up the perpe-
traitor of the crime.
j. w. Wright who was robbed
is wealthy resident of Reedy,
Roane county. and the man who
got his money is J. d. Wright. of
Mononga, relati g of his.
About a year ago the old man
was approached at lis home and
persuaded to put up $500 to be in
vested by the other felIoa n green
goods. Some time after this was
done the other fellow returned to
the old man and said they had
Doth gotten into trouble over the
green goods and said it would cost
lot of money TO keep them out
of the penitentiary. The old man,
who was worth considerable mon
ey, rather than to have any pub
Lefty given to the matter, and to
keep out of trouble, put up $1,000
more, which the other fellow took
''to keep them out of trouble"
The old man received a letter
from the other man, mailed at
Wheeling on the 9th inst, asking
MIN to come Parkersburg, saying he
had 81 900 he wished to return to
him. He came and was met by the
young man who took him to the
rear of saloon where he said that
both of them were liable to get in
to trouble over the green goods
affair. The words were scarcely
out of his mouth when
man appeared who represented
himsef to be an officer and placed
them both under arrest. The men
protested and after a parley it was
arranged that the only way to keep
them both out of trouble was for
the old man to sign certain bonds
which were produced. He did so
and was released. In the course
of a short time he found out that
what he had signed were notes in
steadi of bonds, aggregating about
So 600 or 1000 and that he had to
pay them.
Things finally reached such
point that the old man was com
PEELED to tell his story to friends
who saw at once that he had been
made the victim of ire
mendous swindle and Immediately
began to look up the swindler.
One of the old mans relatives is
here today looking after evidence.
He swore out a warrant for Wright
today, but who his accomplices are
he does not know. Warrants will
be sworn out for all of them, as
soon as sufficient evidence can be
obtained.

JUDGE > a NJ rs IA e y. =
EI1RC USON DIED IT. tssS-
DAY MORNING

At 7:I5 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing, at his beautiful home, Grand
view, on the South Side. Judge
James II. Ferguson. after useful
life of eighty-two eventful years,
passed away as peacefully as a lit
tie child. The end was painless.
He had lapsed into insensibility
early in the night, and never re-
gained consciousness. Death was
due Immediately to paralysis. he.
was stricken with this malady
several years ago and never fully
recovered. For some time he had
been failing gradually, and about
two weeks ago he was compelled
to take to his bed. He suffered.
another stroke of paralysis which
deprived him of the partial use of
his limbs, and yesterday his condi-
ton suddenly took rapid turn
for the worse.
Judge Ferguson was one of
West Yirginia's broad brainy mem
intellectually, he was giant
His attainments were marvellous.
AS lawyer, he was without a
superior at the West Virginia bar,
and had but few equals. His
learning was vast and complete.
His logic was cool and invulner-
able. His wit was a rapier that
flashed in many a brilliant legal
battle. His personality was as
charming as it was strong. There
were few who could resist it. His
friends we're legion and they were
true. Once made they were Crap
pied to him by bonds of admira-
ton and affection stronger than
hooks of STEEL. His long, busy
life, was spent in the service of his
State, battling for convictions,
which were pronounced and un-
swerving. In his public life, he
looked duty fairly in the face and
finched at nothing. His accom-
plishments were splendid His
labors over, he retired to private
life carrying with him the un-
qualified admiration and esteem of
all parties and creeds. He has
gone to that Higher Bar, his life
work we'll finished, his duty done.

Forged wo.z. Of Art.

Factories exist in Europe for the
manufacture Of all kinds OF works of
art that are likely to attract the col
lector. Modern articles of china are
stamped with old marks so cleverly
that even experts have been deceived.
Arms and armor are treated with acids
which eat away the metal, thus produc-
ing the same effect as the ravages of
time. Carved worries are stained with
oils to make them yellow and are sub
jected to heat to make them crack.
Pieces of furniture have holes drilled
to represent the worm holes, and so on,
until there will in time be very little
in the way Of curios which are in them
selves really curious. Paris is one of
the greatest strongholds of this class
of forgers. Forgeries in all works of
art very rarely get into the dealers
hands. As rule they are sent to
auction rooms. Many amateurs have
an idea that they may pick up price
less work of art or curio for a mere
song. Mr.. Wertheimer laughs at this.
That is the chance for the forgers.
They k1oY all this and work accord
ingly, hus the amateur is deceived.
The spe46us curio makers haunt out
of-the-way auction rooms, where anna
teurs look in with the idea that nobody
but themselves can know Of the room
in question. The sale takes place, and
they come away with gem, so they
think, and are perfectly happy until
undeceived.-Waverly Magazine.
