SELLS $3.50 PIANO FOR $40
One Piano Bought From Forbes Piano
Company Is Recovered While Be-
ing Moved BY Trans
fer Company.

Several piano companies, furniture
company, a shoe company and other
merchants of Birmingham have recent
ly been swindled out of goods amounting
to several hundred dollars by a smooth
confidence man who obtained the goods
under false pretenses.
The ball started on July II when man
giving his name as w. R. Gilmore went
to the e. E. Forbes Piano Company and
offered to alter the front of their store
in exchange for a piano. The contract
was signed and he went to work, en-
ploying several carpenters. They work
ed three days and he stood them off
for their wages, claiming the company
had failed to pay him. The piano was
delivered and Gilmore was trying to ship
it away from Birmingham when he was
suspected and the piano recovered from
the Harris Transfer Company, which had
possession of 1t to move. 1t was worth
1926
The smooth man next visited the Jesse
French Piano and Organ Company. He
told them he was doing some work for
the Forbes Company, but that he did not
like them and wanted to buy a piano
from the Jesse French people because
Forbes asked too much. They sold him
one valued at $3.50 and he at once sold
it to the Scales Piano and Organ Com
pany, along with some furniture, get
ting, it is stated by the Seals Company
$40 and a promise of more. He gave his
name as d. e. Pearce.
Later he called at the Seals Company
and bought a piano from different
clerk from the one he had dealt with be-
fore. This was not delivered. He was
going under a different name on the Sec
ond visit
1t is said he visited the Southern Talk
ing Machine Company and bought a
graphophone for $42. so. This has been
traced to several places by the police,
but not recovered. 1t was last heard of
in Atlanta. Some furniture was bought
from the McCarty- Rawlins Furniture
Company. This was sold to a man at
the Seals Piano and Organ Company,
but only small amount of money was
paid on it.
]. d. Collins, the shoe dealer, is said
to have been touched by the same
person. He asked that some shoes be
sent out for approval, and it is said he
forgot to return them.
The first appearance of Elmore in Bir-
mirgham was en- July IL. He disappear
ed on Saturday the 18th. The police are
to find any trace of his whereabouts.
