Or" Samuel Waits, the colored all
round scientist and mystic, was given
sixty days Imprisonment by Judge
Mogan for obtaining money by false
pretenses from various feminine be-
levers in his professions of omni-
science. 1t was the fifth time he had
been called up for sentence and on
four of the occasions he obtained a
postponement by means of some spe-
cious plea. The longer he deferred
the inevitable the more serious did his
situation become, as new victims of
his chicanery were materializing every
day. His speciality was to inform the
credulous fair ones that by dreaming
he could foretell the winners of horse
races and thus induce them to intrust
him with small sums for investment
with the bookmakers.
