:. Alexander Murphy, colored, surrender
ed $50 to two strangers yesterday after
noon and now he wants the police to re-
cover the money for him. 1t was a repe-

was played. Alexander met two colored
men near 18th and u streets about AIS
o'clock, and one of them picked up a
pocketbook.
The man who picked il up had put II
there. but Murphy didn't know his game
and no trouble was experienced in MAX
ing him believe IL was q genuine find.
Neither was any trouble experienced in the
matter of inducing Murphy to believe the
book contained "yellowbacks."
Murphy fell an easy victim to the game
and gave the man so. Then he awaited
the return OF the finder with his big bill
changed, but after waiting some time
he realized he had been swindled and
called on the police to help him out.
