FINED FOR CONFIDENCE GAME
Enterprising South African Went .
Little Too Far In Desire TO
Turn Honest Penny.

A queer story has reached London
from South Africa. A resident Of
Cape Province, Frederick de Beer,
was charged with fraud and the des-
ecration Of grave, put on trial, and
acquitted Of the first crime but con-
victed of the second.
As the tale is fold, it seems that
q group of nationalists in the prov
ince had offered q reward for the
bones Of Commandant Sheepers, q
man who was executed by the Eng
lish during the Boer war for COM
hitting an act that to the Beers was
heroic, not criminal. This reward
the too-enterprising De Beer deter
mined to get, and, for some reason
not stated in the account at hand,
he went to the Dutch Reformed
cemetery, dug up the bones Of his
own father and passed them of, or
tried to, as those Of the martyred
Sheepers.
Gould he have had some vague
idea that the remains of his father
belonged to himself, and he had q
right to do with them what he
would, while by disturbing some
pther grave he would have commit
ted another and greater crime
However that may be, his act evil
IDENTIFY did not excite general con-
demnation, for somebody who is de-
scribed as a "sympathizer" paid for
him the SIS which was imposed AZ
the alternative Of three months in
prison.
