I * Ella McCray Frisked Out Of 900 Dollars Klla McCray 1m a colored widow woman about CO yearn old. She i? a farmer and liven about five miles went of St. Matthews. She owns her farm, and is energetic. A sou died in 1931. Willi these facts in rniud, and the further belief that she had money, a ntrange colored crook decided to euchre her out of the cash. His scheme was shrewd and worked vt ith skill. Much more skill, than Elja used her Judgment and coiuinou sense. He took her to Columbia, as agent of a tombstone company, on tiie plea of giviug her the finest bargain ever known on a stone for her son in Emancipation graveyard near St. Matthews. Willi the aid of another crook, familiar with the plan, tins tombstone trade was arranged, ami she was then motored back homoUiy one of the sharpers. After a few days, he returned for Klla, told her of a wonderful plan to put her onto a greut scheme for a money deal, | and to take all the cash she could spare along. It Is interesting to hear [Tier tell the details of how they fooled her into handing over 900 dollars, with the promise' of returning in a few minutes with an extra thousand for her. They skipped, and Ella has heard nothing of nigger or money since. It is amazing that people even of small intelligence, could be handled and robbed so easily by rank strangers. Ella should have suspected that nigger of being up to rascality. Second thought should have warned her that any extra thousand would have been stuck into his own pocket, instead of Ella's. What a marvelous temptation, and what risks are taken to get something for nothing. All, white and black, who know Ella McCray regret her heavy loss, but It detracts from the sympathy to 1 realize how easily she was scooped In by a "nigger" stranger, on so plain a scheme of rascality. They "sloped" out of Columbia in an automobile, and no clue, at this writing has been announced.?Calhoun Times. Great Britain on Tuesday night demanded that Italy and Germany speed their decisions whether to agree to force a halt to enlistment of foreign volunteers in the Spanish civil war. A series of diplomatic maneuvers In Europe has decidedly heightened the tension throughout Europe.
