8 LAB0RERS
VICTIMS OF
CLEVER RUSE
Lame Man Borrows Money
from Men He Hired and
Then Disappears.
POLICE SEEK SWlhDLER
--CkSE AT KEASBEY

Five Hungarian laborers were vic IS
of swindler in this city Saturday af-
ternoon. A lame man, between twenty
five and forty years old, wearing a
straw hat, hired them to clear up a
lawn in front of the johnson house on
the Bluff, but instead of paying them
each $l.75 as he promised for their
work, he borrowed 1925 from the men
and disappeared. The matter has been
reported to the police who are making
efforts to learn the identity of the man.
According to Chief Burke the lame
man went to the house in Water street,
accompanied by the men he had en-
gagged, and asked permission of the oc-
cupants to clean up around the place,
stating that he wanted to use the leaves
on the lawn. The permissian, it is said,
was granted and the five Hungarians
were put to work. After the Job was
finished the lame man pulled 500 bill
from his pocket and told the men that
he would pay them if they could make
change. The laborers gave the man
$4.25 but he said it would not help
matters any. He told the men that he
would 60 and get the bill changed
and come back Immediately.
Taking the 1925 he had secured from
the laborers the swindler started up
the street After waiting in vain for
him to return the five men went into
the house and demanded pay for their
services. When their story was heard
the resident took them to the police
station, where their tale was told to
Chief Burke The names of three of
the men and the amounts they lost were
given to the police as follows: Mich
ael Velosen, of State street, twenty-five
cents; Michael Krisk ota, of 649 C0rt-
landt street, $3.50; John Bisoha, $3.50.
Keasbey Man is Victimized.
Through Harry Klein, butcher at
Keasbey, Detective Long, of this city,
learned Saturday of clever trick two
sharpers played on Hungarian at the
former place. last Friday, The two
tricksters after selecting their victim
made their plan of action. One of the
pair started up the road in front of
the man while the other followed
short distance in front of the victim
to-be. At the proper time the man in
the lead dropped 800 bill. The sec
ond man picked it up, and showed it to
the Hungarian, cautioning him not to
say anything.
When the first swindler was out of
sight the other told the Hungarian that
be would divide the money with him if
he would change the bill. The Hun
garian produced SIG, stating that it
was all he had with him. The swind-
ler took the money and gave the man
the 800 bill telling him that he would
come to his home the next day for the
balance due.
The Hungarian went to New Bruins,
wick Saturday to get the bill changed
and then learned that it was counter
felt. The man has not yet called at
his home for the $34 he said was due
him. As the case was In Woodbridge
township the local authorities will take
no action in the matter

The police claim that under the
city's agreement with the Public
Service any police officer of the city,
whether or not in uniform, may ride
free on the trolleys. The company,
since the passage of a recent act of
the legislature, has been at odds
with the police over the matter and
a few days ago issued an order that
only uniformed officers of the city
could ride free and that they must
be on duty at the time.
Chief Burke under advice from
City Attorney Hommann made sew
eral test rides last Friday and Sat
urday and was not put off. Detec-
tive Long however did not fare SO
well Saturday. At O'Clock he

Service and would like time set
for a hearing. Chief Burke con-
ferred with the city attorney and
10 o'clock tomorrow morning was
decided on
Patrolman Meshrow, who is also
the city's truant officer, and who
does not wear a uniform, was put
off a trolley at State street and the

South Amboy, Aug. 1.-The resi-
dence of Isaac V. P. Selover, in Sec
ond street, was entered by burglars
yesterday morning. Mr.. Selover is
employed by the B. G O.. railroad
Company and his business necessa-
rily takes him from his home at
night. His residence is located
about midway between Stockton
street and Stevens avenue, and is a
double dwelling, the other part be-
ing occupied by his brother-in-law,
e. P. Wilson, therefore Mrs. Selover
and her ten-year-old daughter do
not feel lonely when the husband
and father is absent.
Yesterday morning about $3.50
o'clock, Mrs. Selover was awakened
by some one feeling around her pill
low With great presence of mind
she was discreet enough to remain
perfectly quiet. The intruder start
ed on further exploration and en-
1tered the room of the daughter, but
almost Immediately returned and
renewed his search around Mrs. Sc
lovers pillow. Seemingly disap-
pointed, he turned away to leave the
room, when Mrs. Selover, jumping
from her bed, seized her husbands s
revolver and commenced fusilade
of shots at the retreating form of
the man.
At the first shot he leaped for the
stairway and as he was jumping
down, she fred two more shots,
which, in her excitement, went wild,

but they must have come in close
proximity to the fleeing man, as one
of the bullets perforated a rug lying
at the bottom of the stairs, while an
other imbedded itself In the wall,
and third cut off the knob of the
umbrella handle.
The bravery Of Mrs. Selover pre-
vented the thief from securing any
booty
A broken pane of glass. in the kit
chen door made access easy for the
night marauder, but Mrs. Selover
certainly made it unhealthy for him
after getting inside.
The near by residents were soon
on the scene, but the strain on Mrs.
Selover was such that after the ex-
citement had subsided she was in
disposed for a time, but has about
recovered today
The burglar was disguised by the
ues of handkerchief covering his
face below the eyes.
South Amboy is having some petty
thieving in the way of burglarizing
news stands, breaking into freight
cars and other places a short time
ago and when the perpetrator of
some of these depredations was de-
tected, mistaken sympathy refused
to lodge complaint Just as long as
sympathy has sufficient control to
prevent the enforcement of the law,
just so long will the citizens suffer
from depredations similar to yester-
day mornings, and those of prior
dates.

WRECK TODAY

Quebec, Aug. t:-Dr. H H. Grip
pen was afraigned in police court
before Judge Panet Anglers today
and remanded to Jail for sixteen
days. The proceedings were brief
He offered no objections to being
sent back to England
Miss Leneve was too i'll to appear
in court. DR.. Crfppen admitted his
Identity.
Inspector Dew was not satisfied
by the first search of Crippen and
examined the man himself and dis
covered linen belt next to the skin
to which were attached several
wonmans' diamond rings.
The girl had no hand in the kill
ing
Crippen Is sullen and silent, sit
and refusing to talk
Miss Leneve Is almost a physical
wreck. She wrings her hands and
cries piteously and has not slept
since Inspector Dew dramatically
placed his hand upon Crippen's s
shoulder on the deck of the Mon
trose and said, Il want to talk to
you"
Among Crippen's belongings the
police found small vial containing
dark brown fluid and q small pa
per-wrapped powder which they be-
lieve to be poison, although not yet
analyzed. Apparently the precau-
tions taken against suicide by Cap
tain Kendall, of the Montrose, were
justified.
Before the police arrested Miss
LeneYe she rushed to the side of the
steamer and threw over something
believed to have been the revolver
Crippen carried when he boarded
the ship.
If the arrest of Crippen came as
shock to him it was more so to
Miss Leneve. She was seated quiet
ly in her cabin enjoying a novel
when Inspector Dew and Mccarthy
placed her under arrest. A search
revealed that she wore canvas
harness for the purpose of conceal
ing as much as possible her woman's
figure. Shortly after the arrest the
girl collapsed, later slightly recov-
cred but today was in such condi-
tion a physician was sent for.

deck when Inspector Dew climbed
aboard. He was on the point Of ad-
dressing the captain when his eyes
fell upon the grim face of the police
officer. That glance froze the words
in his mouth. Surprise, terror and
despair made the suspect speechless.
