The Thrifty Fakir's Paradise
of Fools.
Continued from Page One.)

The countryman protested put TO no
avail A great argument arose. III
the midst of it. a confederate of the
game came to the countryman, touch
ed his shoulder and said:
I'd get a policeman"
Together they went away. lighting
their way through the crowds. When
twenty minutes later, they returned
with an officer, there was no table.
no little ball, no handsome fakir with
ravens wing mustasche-and no
money.
of course this was a crude game,
played on a simple man who was
probably befuddled with drink. The
point is that it was played. The IA
science. In the instance narrated, they
merely did not need to put forth
their finer powers.
1t was only recently at a neighbor-
ing county fair that fakirs grabbed
one hundred dollars placed for bet
and ducked through the crowds and
escaped without formality.
A wake county man also commit
ted what might have technically been
termed larcey at the fair He had
gone up against one of the games and
lost fifty dollars. Finally he pro
duced a hundred dollar bill which he
proposed to bet against like amount.
They agreed. The stakes in this in
stance were placed on the table and
the ball set in motion. Before it
stopped. however, this countryman
hastily snatched the stakes and dis
appeared in the crowd amid a howl
from the Philistines.
No one yet knows where that ball
stopped!
And, strange to say, the crowd en-
joyed it.
OF course the fair management can
not stop the pickpocketS who were
here by hundreds and who were fam
cifuily supposed in some quarters to
have a kind of a king and a poor
for the occasion. But the running of
the games, the fairest of which had
odds much larger than those of a
regular faro or roulette layout in
.ivor of the house" was both a
violation of the law and almost Grim
inal negligence with respect to the
fools who were at large.
The pickpockets knew their bust
ness well. They had spoilers on all
trains and they were clever at their
! work. In illustration of the latter fact
AS we'll as limiting a sense of humor
is an incident that occurred in
West Raleigh when former Policeman
| Banks, then on special duty, collared
and searched pickpocket on suspi-
cion. He found nothing on which he
could hold the man except a pair
of handouts of the finest grade, and
| highest priced of the imported de-
tectives. The Raleigh man relieved
his friend of the handouts and later
returned them to their owner, who
| prayed for and obtained the mercy of
silence.

never seen Clark till the day before

asked him what was the matter and
he said the Jew shot me- / began
to take off his overcoat to look where
he was shot. He uttered no other
word there. I took off his overcoat
and about this time a gentleman
standing there-Dr. Wilkerson he said
his name was-said we had better take
him to the hospital. He rushed out
and got a hack and we carried him to
the hospital. On the way he said He
shot me but it is all right"
When further questioned as to his
profession and the occasion of his
presence here Wood stated that he had
worked in the navy yard at Norfolk
and was also employed by coal COM
pany in Petersburg, and has for a year
been following the fairs, where he had
work on the pincloths. He said that
Smith made no cutlery about his pain.
As to the meeting OF the men in the
East Raleigh house, witness said such
a meeting had taken place and the
men were engaged in a game of craps,
and that some bad feeling was, engen-
dered by that meeting and game. On
examination by Mr.. Snow, Wood
claimed that 1.-The Jew had made
threats against Liiliston in whom the
witness seemed to take deep interest.
The Same Body.
Mr.. Marshall A. Wood, of Peters
burg, an embalmer, testified as to the
reception of the body there, of the
and of the return of the
body to Raleigh. In Petersburg it had
first been taken to the home of the
mother of the deceased and then to
Blandford cemetery for the interment
Thursday and that it had been brought

gram from Mr.. A. NJ. Smith.
