SLICK SWINDLER.
He Has Been Operating in susque-
hanna County.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Susquehanna, Oct. "a slick swind-
Ter has been operating in several parts
of Susquehanna county. The chap
would land in a place and sell an in
terest in a new invention-a machine
for the manufacture of perfume from
the natural flowers.
The plan was to take the machine
out in the street and manufacture the
perfume in the very presence of the
patrons and there sell it. After pur-
chasing an interest in the machine,
usually paying $50 therefore, the victim
would eventually find that the perfume
sold was purchased at drug store and
the whole thing was a fraud of the
first water. 1t is thought the swindler
is now in the coal regions.
