alleged necessities or misfortune, ~
newspaper men. In all of the cases
where such exposures were made thfre
was never a conviction. The swindlers
usually covered their tracks well and
the victims were not anxious 20 20 10
any extern in the way Of prosecution.
1t was in the course of n COW ,rsa-
ton that n reporter for THE EyENINo
SUN had yesterday with Mr.. Croker
at his home. . East Seventy fourth
street. that he remarked:
II gave one of your staff S2j the
other day"
Instantly the details of the gift
were asked and Mr.. Croker told ;he
story
When assured that he had been
swindled and that no man employed On
THE SUN or THE EVENING SUN in any
capacity had called him up on the
telephone or had visited him, Mr
Croker did not seem much put out over
the loss " the money, but he thought
that the swndle should be exposed 50
that others benevolontly inclined might
not suffer as he did.
II any person is approached with a
similar story he should at once have his
caller arrested, or, II he does not care
to do that, let him call up THE S"N or
THE EVENING Sun by telephone and a
way will soon be found to put the
CRATER where he belongs.
