RURALITE VICTIM
OF SHREWD CROOK

r c II NJ o N D, VA.-Special.-
{. X. Burton, forty-two years old,
who gives his occupation as machin-
list and his address as Roanoke. was
arrested this morning and lodged in
First Police Station, charged with OBJ
tanning, under false pretenSes, 50 be-
longing to Henry Johnson, a visitor
at the State Fair.
Burton, who is believed to be "a
professional carnival and fair crook,
was caught red-handed in the Capitol
Square this morning by Detective
Charles w. Atkinson.
When taken into custody, Burton
was attempting to procure money
from another ruralite, according to
the police, by unfolding his scheme,
which, it is said, was a proposition to
furnish lucrative employment with
the American Locomotive Works, for
which, as agent of the corporation, he
secured a fee, a consideration which,
| by the way, was spot" cash.
! johnson, an early arrival, it APP
pears, fell a victim to the sharper last
week. After being assured that a po-
sition would be given him when he
i applied at the locomotive plant the
stranger bid him adieu.
Johnson was told at the shops that
Burton, nor anyone else, for that mat
| ter was authorized to act as employ
ment agent. He was further told that
| he had been duped.
Burton's victim has been looking
high and low for the smooth-tongued
individual. This morning his search
was rewarded with success. As he
passed through the square, he espied
Burton seated on a park bench, in
earnest conversation with a com
panion.
Johnson rushed breathlessly into
police headquarters and excitedly ex-
claimed:
I've found the follow that film
| TANNED me-"
He was asked to explain. He did.
Hes out yonder in the grove" he
added.
