 immediately started to establish
 himself m the good gEaess of the

 Warden Scott came here yesterr day and visited Mrs, Mslona to learn of Ritehie's visit and secure the letter, He disclosed that the letter asked Mrs, Malena to give the bearer s25 to be used for pur. chasing a revolver, which was to be the first step in Reekett's scheme, Mrs, Malana read the letter while illtchis was at the house and did not warm up to the scheme at all, refusing 10 give the money for Beckett,
 Seeing the way things had turned out, Beckett became frightened and confessed his whole plot 10 the warden, telling of the part that Iltehie had played, Ritehie. is be- lieVed by the warden to have besn on his way 10 confess what he had done, being convinced Monday that he had acted wrongly in delivering lha letter, He denied to the war. den that he received any money for The rolo he played, and prison of- Iieials are inclined to believe his story AS he has made an excellent record during his time at the prison.
 Beckett's scheme, according to he story he told the warden, was O get money from his aunt. pur- 'hase a revolver and conceal 1t somewhere in the prison. This he would discover later and turn 1t 'ver to the warden as the one that )snshire is believed to have hidden nd which as yet has not been ound. This act would put him in he good graces of prison officials, nd would be the basis of his appeal the board of pardons for parole.

 Swindling Scheme Worked
 A big swindling scheme was pulled off by two slick artists on Lee coun- ty farmer, J. w. Slaton, who lives near Loachopoka, Wednesday, by which he was fleeced out of S550 of his hard earned money. The two men protesting to be eye specialists, called at his home and offered to treat Mir. Slatons eyes which were in bad shape. The men introduced themselves, one as Dr. D. M. Finney, a graduate of John Hop kins, the other a Dr. Swartz. both with headquarters in Atlanta. After some persuasion on their part they were al- lowed to treat Mrs. Slaton's eyes with what they called very expensive medi- cine and which would produce marvel ous results. They claimed that the medicine alone cost $500 and that they would only expect cost for it and very little besides for their own services. By means of slick tongues they induced Slaton to give them check for $550, which they cashed and then hurried on their way, leaving Mrs. Slaton's eyes in no better condition. They were driv- ing a large roadster and Sheriff Moon is now offering a reward for their ap- prehension
