LOST TWELVE THOUSAND DOL.
LARS.

John Hartman, who describes himself
as a salesman, living in New York, was
arrested yesterday charged with larceny
of SI2, 600 from Friedrich Louster, a real
estate man, of Harrlsonburg, Pa.
Louster says that the scheme by which
he was swindl.d out of his money was
nothing more than a variation OF the
wsllknown overlapping game, but from
his very knowledge of swindling of this
sort he was fooled into venturing first
$1,000 and later $4,000 on good
thing" at one of the racehacks, which,
as usual, event wrong" although he
had been told that the "inside intorma-
ton" could not fail. The gang that
victimized Louster evidently thought
him we'll worth while, for, according to
the story he tells, they went to Harris
burg to him with well connected story,
which led him first to Baltimore to meet
a secretary of land company with whom
he was to consider buying land in
Florids, and later to New York.
While waiting with Hartman, the prls-
oner, in Baltimore for the secretary who
failed TO appear, three men who knew
Hd1oCu ulli A-OholNi. my
stopped to talk, and during the CONVEX
sation mentioned casually that they in
tended to wager sums amounting to $40
600 Oh different horses. They wanted a
stakeholder. Hartman suggested Lous
ter, but another man objected for lack of
security. Hartman then suggested that
Louster return 10 Harrisburg for secur-
ity, which he did, returning with SIo,-
600 only to find the men gone, and Hart
man, who waited, told him they bad to
return 10 New York, but expected them
to follow,
Once inside the house IN New York,
to which Louster was taken, he was in
weighed into making bets, lost his $40.
600, which, however did not deter him
from returning to Harrisburg for an adj
ditional $4,000, which went in the same
way.
