Several citizens of this city
have received letters recently
from a noble man who is con-
fined in a prison in Spain in
which the writer says that he
has plenty of money secreted
and that if the recipient of the
letter will advance so much
money to obtain his release
from prison he will divide his
fortune with lis benefactor.
The game is AN old one and
from all reports has netted the
prisoner in Spain" many thou
sands of dollars. So far as
known no one here has invest
ed any money on such slim
prospects.
