CAUGHT BY VICTIM
Bunco Steerer Tried His
Little Game Just Once
Too Often.
HIS MEMORY WAS SHORT
But His Guys Wasn't and He
Will Have Time in Jail
to Strengthen It.

"Shovers of the queer are finding
lucrative field for operations in Hoboken.
Within the past two weeks nearly
dozen unsuspecting folk nave been re-
lieved of their hard earned coin by these
impostors. The steamship piers are the
favorite haunts of the ''con" men. There
gullible immigrants and others with COM
Portable purses are made the prey. TWO
more cases came to light this morning
Bernard Trautschold, who lives In Phil
adelphia, was to have been a passenger
on the Hamburg-American liner which
sailed last Saturday. While waiting on
the pier in Hoboken he was approached
by a stranger who got up conversation
with him and proceeded to lay a trap to
relieve him of S220 in gold which Traut-
schold was foolish enough to say he had
in his possession The stranger, who de-
scribed himself as Charles Cabagino, of
New York, in Recorder Stantons court
this morning, suggested that they take
a walk The man with the big name
consented. Before long third man put
in an appearance.
The trio came to Jersey City and at
Cabagino's suggestion they agreed to put
their money together and engage better
accommodations on the Pretoria. Ine
victim was then given some money to go
and buy cigars. The two men offered
big bunch of greenbacks to him as Sc
curity The roll was changed by sleight
for a wad of counterfeits
When Trautschold returned to where
he had left his boon companions they
were both missing. He returned to Phila-
delphia a sadder and a wiser man. He ar
rived in Hoboken this morning to take
passage on the steamship Brazila.
What was his surprise when he was
again approached by Cabagino, who had
evidently forgotten his face and was doing
business at the old stand. The victim OF
Saturday lost no time in notifying the
police and Cabagino was arrested. When
arraigned before the Recorder he denied
having duped Trautschold but he was
remanded for trial.
The second victim was Julius Sillatter,
who was relieved of $40 note in his
restaurant on Hudson street by man
who represented himself as the son OF
one of Sillatter's old friends and re-
quested the loan to get his trunks and
baggage out of storage. The fellow gave
the name of Schmidt and got away with
the $40 without trouble.
