 Captain Stevens said that ap- parertly the man was victimlzed by the old bunco trick known as "the handkerchief game.
 According to the elderly mans story, Martone met a man on Field street Friday morning and while the two were engaged in 8 coflver- sation, another man joined the group. The two then proceeded to make bet, which probably was a proposition for the man to pool his funds. Just what the deal was the police were unable to learn. How ever, when the bet was made, Mar tone said he went to the bank and drew his money and placed 1t in the handkerchief in good faith with the money of the two men.
 The men let Martone hold the handkerchief in good faith but later when the old man united the bundle, found that the $2,000 had disappeared and in its place was pa- y%AP
