EASY VICTIM.
WaieIviIIe Man BunCoed
Out Of a Cool $500,
"A Magnetic Healer Charms
That Sum from Him.
Still Sick, Both with Old Trouble
and Loss Of Cash.

Prof. II. f.. Henderson, who posed as
clairvoyant and had rooms at the.
home Of B. j. Frank on Elm street, has
mysterouSly left the city and with
him went the $500 belonging to a man
who was taking one of his magnetic
treatments. The man who was "stung"
reported his case to the police and is
not to be blamed for refusing to give
his name for publication.
This professor came to this city
about two weeks ago and engaged
a room at the nome of Mr. Frank, set
Ting in advance for the lodging. 1t
appears that shortly after he came
this stranger came to the city, and
seeing his advertisement went to con-
suit him. The stranger diagnosed his
case and was assured by the healer
that he could be readily cured. The
man was satisfied to learn that his all
meut could be treated. The only re-
striction in the case was that in order
to perform this treatment the strang-
CT would have to put up some money.
The "healer' led this man To believe
that the money was necessary in the
work.
The man went to his home and re-
turned with his small earnings, about
$3.50. The healer claimed that this
, amount was insufficient, as he would
be unable to perform the miracle with
less amount than $500. The easy vic
tim fell to the request and borrowed
the balance of that sum. He claims
that when ne handed the man that
sum. the healer made believe put the
money through some sort of chem
zeal operation, just what for the man
did not know, but presumably more
than a chemical change took place.
The magnetic healer told the man
that his medicine was in 4 package lie
handed him, together with the money,
but it was a case of the same old
story. FOR when h" opened the pack
age ut his home he found only small
piece Of biotting paper. He FASTENED
pack, but the bird had flown and
nothing has been heard of him since.
He let no word at the house except
stating when he went out on that aft
crno0n that he would be back at
O'clock. lie had his room rent paid up
for the week and occupied it only the
first t%o days.

lice department, but they had no clue
