sWINDLERs GOT HIS $500.
Connecticut Farmer Victim of Three
 New York Thieves.

T. Essex, Conn, Aug 26-Henry Giles,
 a farmer of Joshuatown, a small l hamlet across the river from here ar
 rived home Saturday night much l sadder but wiser man than when he departed two weeks ago. At that time Henry went to Cross River, N. Y., to claim an inheritance
 of $500 left to him by a relative. When division of the estate was
 made he found that his share had dwindled to about $500, and with that amount in currency on Friday last he boarded. train on the Harlem road from Katonah for his home, intending
 to take the Hartford boat from New
 York that afternoon.
 On the train from Katonah Henry fOolishly confided to a man who sat
 beside him the amount of his wealth,
 and before arriving in New York they
 became intimate, and his chance ac- quaintance, learning of his intention to go to his home by boat. prevailed on him to remain in New York over Friday night. as on Saturday night a
 woman friend of his was going to Es-
 sex by the train which left the Grand Cantral station at 8 o'clock. He sug- gested that she would be an agreeable companion for him.
 Giles was delighted at the sugges- tion, and yesterdaysnoon he was intro duced to her as Miss Rosie McDonald
 They then had fine dinner at the ex- pense of Giles, and when the train started Giles and Rosie were aboard But before starting Giles gave to the woman his $500 inheritance He says he zthonght the money would be safer in eher charge than if he carried it himself
 When the train arrived in New Ha- ven an acquaintance of the woman met her, as if by chance, and he also being on his way, as he said, to Cres-
 cent Beach, took seat just behind them.
 On arriving at Saybrook, where a
 change of cars is made, the woman
 and mutual acquaintance gave the slip to Giles.
 That is the last Henry has seen
 either of the woman or his $500.
