MONEY IN OLD CLOTHES .-en Sat-
urdsy morning Mr.. Samuel ID. Lunt,
auctioueer, sold for the administrator
the personal effect, of the late Daniel
Kemp, colored. among which were sew
eral old coats which we're purchased by
q oolored man named George Butler.
After removing them to his home But
ler's wife and another colored woman.
Maria Parker, engaged 10 sorting out
the garments and shaking the dust
from them. The Parker woman while
examining. one of the coats ran her
hand into one OF the pockets and ex.
tractsd therefrom large roll OF money.
A child who wss present at the time
saw the act, but the Parker woman
quickly bid the money aud pretended
she had merely pulled q wad OF old
paper from the coat. After the child
left the room the finder turned the roll
of money over to Buffers wife, telling
her where she had found 1t, and de-
manding half OF it by virtue OF the right
OF discovery. The Butler woman
acquiesced and later went into an
upper room with her husband for the
purpose of counting the notes. The
Parker woman subsequently demanded
her portion OF the find, and upon being
refused swore out q warrant for both
the woman and her husband. This
morning they we're brought before the
Mayor when Butler positively denied
the story told by Maria Parker,
although his wife corroborated 1t. The
money could not be found and Butler
was locked up while the house was
1t Is said the roll contained
at least $75. The police found the
pocketbook, but were unable to locate
the money. Butler Is still held.
