On the sympathy of the unwary by
claiming that he was working his way
thru Cornell College at Mount Vernon,
1t is said that j. A. Drummer has vic
.imized a number OF people in this
city. Drummer claimed to be a repre-
sentative for Philadelphia ts,lbscrip-
ton agency. The agency, however
denies that he is connected with them
in any way whatever. and states most
emphatically that he ds a rascal. Brun-
ner was a young man OF progressing
appearance. Those who gave him an
audience never failed TO subscribe for
divers and sundry periodicals and
magazines Like an honest man. BruH-
ner gave a receipt for every cent pald
him. These receipts We're printed with
the name thereon of the agency he
claimed to renresent. This bait never
failed in it's effect upon the victim and
gave a likeness of truth to Brunners
statements. Having paid their money
the victims awaited the arrival OF the
literature. 1t never came. Then was
the headquarters of the Mutual Sub
scr,ptton agency at Philadelphia del
uged with anxious inquiries. Tho

cation to Marshal Kozlcvsky and en-
