Polite Wynne, Colored, Victim of the
Old "Pocketbook Trick

Two colored men who are wanted on
charge of flimfiaming Pollie Wynne,
colored, of 1920 11th street northwest
out of s295 Saturday morning by the
"pocketbook trick" are being sought
by the police.
The police were told that while the
complainant was on New York avenue

day morning she was approached by a
colored man who asked her if she want
ed a position. While they were con-
versing another colored man came
across the street and said he had found
pocketbook containing $1,100, and
that he was going to tell his boss
about it. The first man thereupon. ac-
cording to the woman's statement, sug-
gested that they divide the money into
three parts and not say anything about
it. The woman was asked if she had
any money to make change and she
replied she had $500 in bank. She de-
clared she drew $295 from bank to
make the change and gave it to the
men, who told her to meet them in a
park at 10th street and Massachusetts

told the police, but the men failed to
appear.
