High finance resulted in loss Of $721
by Mamie Willis. colored. of 1906 18th

as 'pocketbork trick No. o"
1t happened thus:
Mamie was approached Wednesday
by colored man in search OF his
cousin.

neighborhood." he said. He disap-
peared some time ago in North Caro-

They were talking for a while when
a second colored man, walking up
the street, stopped with a gasp.

feet and picked up pocketbook.
Great heavens," he exploded. Two
thousand dollars"
Look at that there fellow" re-
marked the stranger in search of a
cousin. I'VE aren't going to let him
get away with that"
Possibility of a report of the dis
covery to the police was presented to
the pocketbook finder by the searcher.
Graciously. however, the latter held
open an alternative. If the finder
would split the pocketbook contents
three ways with his newly found ac-
quaintances there would be no report
made. Reluctantly. the finder agreed
to it. How to divide the proceeds be-
came the next question. Mamie finally
solved the problem by producing 1921
of her savings and handing il over to
the finder for his one-third share
She then had the two-thirds for her
self and the searcher.
The searcher and Mamie took a
walk. The former entered near-beer
saloon in the neighborhood for a mo-
ment. Mamie waited outside The
minute stretched to half an hour and
she reported the occurrence to the
police.
