Some weeks ago man by the name
of L. L. Devoe came to Gaffney and
began work in one of the mills of the
Gaffney Manufacturing company. He
was of good appearance and behaved
himself in such manner as not to at
tract special attention, but to make a
rather favorble impression upon those
he met. On the 10th instant, he went
into Mr.. Thos. H. Westrope's jewelry
store and bought a good watch and a
pair of gold trimmed spectacles and Of
fered in payment check for SIG, OF
the Commercial National Bank, OF

and signed by w. H. Wakefield, M.
D., a well-known specialist of that city.
DR.. Wakefield is also well-known in
Gaffney and Mr.. Westrope having been
favorably impressed by Devoe, took
the check and gave him a small
amount of change, the difference be-
tween his bill and the check. Devoe
left the store and seemed to have left
the city at once. Mr.. Westrope placed
the check in A. N. Woods bank, and
it was sent to Charlotte for collection.
1t was discovered by DR.. Wakefield
and returned to the bank here as for
gerry. Nothing has been heard of De-
voc since. He is eDjoying.his plunder

more cautious in the future.
