THE confidence man has a ne1

wondering whether a white man was
an accomplice of two negro conf
dence men or merely an unconscious
aid in the plot
Mrs. Hoyt was homeward bound
early in the afternoon. AS she
crossed Jefferson street on Second
avenue, her gaze was attracted to a
white man getting into an automo-
bile. Two negroes stood on the cor
ner.
AS the white man climbed into the
car bill folder dropped from his
pocket. The colored men rushed over
and picked 1t UP. Turning to Mrs.
Hoyt they asked her If she had seen
ative.
Then a search Of the contents of
the bill folder began. Suddenly one
OF the men exclaimed that it con-
tained thousand dollar bill. The
woman's eyes bulged.
You ought to return It to him"
she told the police she pleaded with
the men.
"A thousand dollars is a lot OF
money! they replied. IF you'll keep
quiet and no say anything Wen
split with you they told her. as they
flashed what was supposed to be a
$1,000 bill. The bargain was made.
Mrs Hoyt returned to her bank
and withdrew $425 she had on de-
post there. In a few minutes she was
back to the spot where the men We're
awaiting her. But before she had a
chance to complete her bargain they
snatched her purse and started to
run. She grabbed the smaller of the
two men, but he slipped out Of an
overcoat by which she was holding
him and got away. Mrs. Hoyt turned
the oveYcoat over to the police in
proof of her story.
Later, Mrs. Hoyt told the police
the man boarded the northbound
Santa Fe train. The Sheriffs office
was notified and they wired stations
along the line. but at a late hour
last night no word of the men had
been received.
RLAYING policeman proved to be
expensive fun for George Archer
and Duane Curry, who have already
been convicted on two charges in
connection with impersonating peace
officers and who face another charge
in the county court. Their record so
far shows they have paid fines of
$40 each for disturbing the peace and
similar fines for impersonating an
officer, both cases having been dis
posed OF in the municipal court last
week. In lieu of cash bail. Archer
turned his touring car over to the
county as guarantee for his appear
ance with Curry to answer charges
OF inpersonating an officer filed
against them by the county.
The conviction and fine assessed
against the two men for disturbing
the peace resulted from their activ-
the second conviction and fine. Ac-
cording to testimony. the two men
visited several hotels at late hours
and demanded that guests admit them
to their rooms. At one hotel Archer
broke the lock on door to a room
occupied by two women, according to
testimony.
