another position in the department and
his $1.se0 q year job given to one of

BUNCO GAME
COSTS Cash
AND WATCH
Victim Gave Them as Sc
curity for "S6,OOs" Given
to Him to Deposit.

The first bunco game for this year
was reported to the Second Precinct
police today when Donate Labriolla,
of 9 Sixth avenue, told Desk Sergeant
Sonnick that he was relieved of $40
and a $50 gold watch yesterday MORN
ing by a man who gave him $4,000"
in cash to deposit in the Italian bank
in Broad street.
Labriolla said that he was standing
at Broad and Bridge streets about 10
o'clock yesterday morning, when two
men approached him and wanted to
know if he could direct them to a good
bank, as they had $1,000 in cash that
they wanted to deposit.
"Oh. yes" replied Labriolla; "the
Italian bank by the Continental Hotel
is the best bank in the city; Judge
Sweeney is the president"
"Ah! that is good" replied one of
the men, who had a bundle in his
hands. 1T knew Judge Sweeney when
he was in the First Precinct"
Eyes, that's him." remarked Lab
riolla.
well. now" said the stranger with
The bundle, this package that I have
here contains $4,000, which I have just
received from the trolley company be-
cause my little girl was killed by one Of
its cars several weeks ago, and I want
to put 1t in a good safe bank. Would
you mind making the deposit for me?'
ooh, no I'll do It," replied Labriolla.
as he took the bundle.
by the way" observed the stranger,
"have you got any cash to let me have
as security?"
mo, not with me, but 1 have $40 in
the North Ward Bank" said Labriol1a.
"Well, you get it, and come back
right away, and we will wait for you"
said the stranger.
Labriolla gave the valuable pack
age back to the strangers and, going
to the bank, got his $40 and gave it to
the men. Then they asked him If he
had any other security. He showed
them a gold watch. He was informed
that the watch and 500 were sufficient
security and then he was handed the
bundle again and told to hurry back
with a bank book after making h de-
post, and they would give him 500
for his trouble.
Labriolla went to the bank, but be-
fore making the deposit it occurred to
him to examine the bundle, just TO see
what $4,000 looked like. He did, but
instead of good old U. S. currency he
found that it was only a lot of old pa
pers cut up the same size as a bill.
Labriolla ran back to Bridge and
Broad streets to recove his $40 and
gold watch, but, of course, could not
see anything of the strangers.
1.-THE worst part of the case" said
Labriolla to Sergeant Sonnick, lis that
1 only had $37 paid on the watch and
will have to pay 1923 for something that
I have not got"
''Well, you are lucky that they didn't
take the clothes off your body" said
the sergeant. Several plainclothesmen
went out to look for the two men, whom
Labriolla described.

DESERTED ON PLAIN
FIVE TEXAS GIRLS, LEFT TO
DIE. ARE RESCUED.
Mother Died on Government Claim and
Father Expired Later-Children
Saved as Hope Fled.

MOTHERHOOD, Tex. Jan. 7.-Ex-
down team, five girls were found in a
wagon several miles from Midland,
on the plains of West Texas, a few
days ago and brought to town by Mrs.
H. N. Garrett, wife Of a leading ranch
mar of that section. The girls ranged
gave the name of Rogers.
Several months ago the Rogers fam
lily left Texas and went to New Mexico,
where they settled OIL a government
land claim. The mother soon sickened
and died, amid those inhospitable sur
roundings, and the Disguised and dis
couraged father gathered up his orphan
girls and started back to Texas over
the long plains road which appeared
to have no ending. Reaching Shafter
Lake, Just over in Texas from the New
Mexico line, the father became des-
perately sick and could go no further.
The family was absolutely penniless,
and al Shafter Lake the children were
told if they could reach Midland they
could doubtless find assistance.
With brave and intrepid spirits. those
five girls hitched up their tired and
faded horses and started on the long
drive to Midland. Day after day the
exhausted horses toiled along the dim
highway across the plains, until their
strength gave out entirely, and they
stopped to die a few miles from the
desired goal. The girls were unable
to go further. and there they stayed in
their miserable camp until found by
Mrs. Garrett and brought into Midland,
where a considerable sum of money
was raised for them.

RAIN FROM NORTHEAST.
Modification of Temperature Washed
Away Promises of Snow.

A northeast breeze arrived in town
this morning and with it came a rain
that increased to a real storm by noon,
fulfilling the predictions mad last
night for today's weather.
During the earlier part of the day the
clouds gave indications of snow, but the
rise in temperature from 10 degrees at
8 o'clock to 80 degrees at noon changed
things enough to reduce the sleet fall
of the first few minutes to plain rain
after that.
In some parts of the city the stone
tagging had stored up cold enough to
freeze the rain so as to cover the side
walks with ice almost Immediately.
Yesterday the temperature fell to the
lowest point this winter, IA degrees
above zero. AT 3 o'clock this morning
the tube showed 10 degrees. The high
est yesterday was "a degrees, and UP to
noon today 80 degrees.
One effect of the rain was to destroy
the skating that vas available yester-
day, though anticipations are held that
another ocld spell may follow the rain.

BOND FOR BIGAMIST
FRIEDMAN MUST FURNISH
$1,000 SECURITY.
Heart-smasher, Who Has Three Wives,
to Be Extradited to New York.
He's Sorry Now.

Morris Friedman, the much-married
man, who has confessed to having
three wives living, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Howell in the First Grim
inal Court today on a charge of
bigamy. and was ordered to furnish
81, 900 bonds to await e~xtradition by
the New York authorities.
While talking freely yesterday about
his past, Friedman evidently realized
the seriousness OF the crime with which
he is charged. In the First Criminal
Court today he seemed in a ~repentant
mood and had apparently lost the self
possession which characterized him
when Detective Sergeants Long and
Ryan got him at his home at 224
Charlton street.
Friedman told Judge Howell that he
had been living in Newark for about
two months. He came to Newark, he
said, from the West. None of his wives
was in court today when he was ar
Iaigned.

The matter of textbooks may be
taken up his afternoon, too, and the
first addition that will be made to the
school list will be, it is said the his
tory of Newark by Frank j. Urquhart,
