THIS PAIR accused
OF TRYING TO WORK
COLD BRICK CAME

Charged with conspiracy to defraud,
and with attempting to secure money
under false pretenses, John Green,
alias John Greenstein, and Max
Swartz, each was held under $4,000
bail by Judge Churchman today for a
hearing next Friday. No evidence was
received this morning.
The police allege that the Two men
attempted the ancient, moss grown
gold br ck game on Max Boodin, d
ieweler at Nc. 4 East Front street,
by attempiiEg to sell him "for a song
box !ull of gold discs, which
they claimed to be pure god, and
worth something over $4,000.
II is alleged that the men had in
their pockets several OF these small
discs, which tests showed to be pure
gold, and that they used these as
bats, the major portion Of the gold"
being in a box which they had cneck-
ed by rail from New York. IL Is al
legged that BoOdin agreed 70 buy the
gold. II Il were all like the samples,
but investigation developed that the
discs in the box to the number of sew
eral thousands. were pure brass.
The police say they are satisfied the
men had planned after Boodin had
agreed to buy the gold to sell him
the box containing the brass instead
OF the pure metal. Schwartz said a
stranger met him in New York and
asked him where he could sell the
gold discs. He claims he then asked
Green. Schwartz says the stranger
gave him the box of gold and told
him to bring it to Wilmington, which
he did.
