TRIED GAME ON ANOTHER
Having Been Fleeced He Sought to
Make Things Even.

Experience proved to be a bad teacher, 80
far as Roy Jackson. colored is concerned
Jackson is twenty-four years old, and
claims that his home is in Canton, Ohio.
Last night he came to grief He ATTEMPTED
to work confidence game on Joseph
Smothers, also colored, but the latter be-
came suspicious Of him in time to cause
his arrest. Now he is behind the bars az
the first precinct, and his picture is about
to be placed in the rogues gallery at head
quarters. Jackson tried the old trick OF
promising stranger good paying posi-
ton upon proof that he was not a pauper.
Just show me that you have So to put
in an envelope" said he to his intended vic
tim, land you will get position that will
pay you $G5 a month"
"All 1 have with me-" said Smothers zig
S1O4 and III put that up
jackson told him he wanted to see him
get the position and that he would put ,up
the 81 for him to make the amount neces-
sary to show his prospective employer that
he was a man of standing. Then Smothers
turned over his cash capital to the Ohio
man and saw the latter put the dollar bill
in an envelope. He also thought he saw
him put in the two additional bills but he
had not implicit confidence in the stranger
and, when the latter's back was turned he
proceeded to investigate the contents of the
envelope.
Catch that man." he shouted at the ton
of his voice, when he discovered that the
envelope contained nothing but blank paper.
He started in pursuit of Jackson along
PennSylvan "a avenue and Policeman CARR
son came to his rescue in time to make the
arrest. Jackson had the $1.04 in his pocket
when searched at the station. To Capt
Boardman he admitted his guilt and said he
would never have thought of the game had
1t not been played on him some time ago.
The effort at crookedness last night, he
stated, was his first one. He said he had
been robbed Of 81 at the game and he
thought he would try to get his money back
in the same manner. number of such
thefts have been committed in this city
during recent months and the police think
jackson may have been connected with
some of them. He will be tried in the Po-
lice Court tomorrow.
