OLD NEGRO BUNCOED.
NefTOei Gel Away with $37 of John
Muck's Money by Means Of Old
(iame.
John Meek, an ohl negro from
Brogdon, was the victim of two
younger colored men through an old
confidence game on Wednesday morn?
ing by which he was buncoed out of
, $o7 of his hard earned money, all
?hat he had saved and which he had
been keeping in the bank.
The tWC negroes began talking to
Mark on the train from Hrogdon to
Btlniter Wednesday morning and evi?
dently were satisfied that he was a
good person on whom to work their
trick. They got off the train with
him and started up town, when one
of them discovered a purse contain -
I ing a hundred dollar bill. As they
wer i all friends they decided to di?
vide the money, hut of course no one
had the/change. They persuaded the
old man to draw his fund of $37
from the bank in order to aid in the
division. One of the men went to the
bank with Mack and, when the mon?
ey was drawn, asked him to let him
I
have it a minute, when he would re
dollars. The rest of the day was
turn with the share of the hundred
spent by Mack in searching for the
! tWO men and Thursday he was still
looking for them, but with no success
up to ii o'clock*
The police were aiding in the
search, but it Is supposed that the two
men had left town WlthO'lt telling
anyone where they were going.
