ARRESTED IN
Money Order I'm Wilmington Be-
hind Prison Bars-HisP Pal Escaped.

Several weeks ago two negroes sue
ceeded in passing I'VE raised money
orders on merchants in this city. Sc
curing thereby $50. From this city
they went TO Fayetteville. where they
passed several raised orders. and they
escaped from that town without being
apprehended. The ~postofice depart
ment was at once notified Of the cir
cumstances. and a postofflce inspector
was sent here and put to work on the
case. 1t was found out that the two
adj had gone to Savannah, Ga.
and the authorities there were at once
instructed to watch out for the men.
The News Of yesterday
contains the following in regard L the
arrest OF one of the swindles:
AT h police station on the very
innocent charge of assault and bate
~, there is a negro-name undivuIg-
ed-locked up al the instance of the
United States postal authorities on the
charge Of passing raised postal mon
ey orders.
The arrest was made Monday by
Detective Frank T. Wall, and in or
der to reven the negro from epe
Ing the real object OF his arrest, he
was told he was wanted on a charge
Of assault and battery. AS the negro
has been a frequent inmate OF the
police cells the charge was not such
as to brighten him in any way.
With the negro locked up. the Do
lice and postal officials have been
looking for hts pal. of the same ebony
hue. Alarmed by the ''pinching' OF
the negro, his companion has fed.
n the negro under arrest was
taken there was found I'm his houns
a number Of bottles of erasing fluid
m other paraphernai!a OF the for
gers trade. These Were seized.
At the police station yesterday the
was identified by Mr.. George
levin as the same one who had pass
ed a raised money order for $40 on
him recently. The money order was
also Identified. II was originally
drawn for 40 cents.
For the last eight ont the rails
ing OF money orders has been going
on in this section of the
Sometimes the orders were raised from
cents to an equal numbe OF dollars,
while again the originay writing and
figures would be eraBed with chemi-
Gals and an entirely different sum
entered.
As &C result Of the smooth scheme
merchants in different cities and
towns in Georgia and South Carolina
We're greatly enriched In experience
At the expense OF their ash balance.
The plan used to dis1rm suspicion
was for the TO wear overalls and
a jumper like a railroad fireman. pre-
senting the appearance Of a hard
working negro.
Though III authorities would be
highly pleased to bag the partner
Of the negro under arrest they viii
probably have the prisoner transfer
red to the federal courts and to the
county jail without waiting further.
The evidence against the negro Is be-
lieved TO be convincing.
