The amount involved is now about

MAN WHO BROUGHT.
GOLD BRICK DEAD
PATRICK MARTIN, VICTIM or A
NOTORIOUS $1,000 swiNDLE,
PASSES AWAY.

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 4.-Patrick
Martin. Of Bordentown died at his
home In this city yesterday, aged 50
years Mr.. Martin was an extensive
owner OF real estate, and sprang into
prominence few years ago when a
supposed nephew sold two gold bricks
to him.
The case Is famous one In this
state. II appears that Martin had a
brother who went west A supposed
nephew came to his house here I'm
Trenton. He told a story OF Indians
camping In the asylum woods near
here and with bricks OF real gold.
which they wanted TO sell at much
below their actual value.
Mr.. Martin visited the camp, bor-
ings were made by the Indians" In
the bricks, and the dust assayed the
purest gold. Martin went to the bank,
drew out $4,000. and bought the
worthless stuff The nephew, OF course,
disappeared.
One OF the bricks holds back door
in the Martin home, the other being
an exhibit in the case here I'm the fed
eral court house. No one was ever
brought TO justice for the swindle.
Martin made II a rule never to speak
to persons who mentioned the gold
brick episode.
