stalled and out of gas on the
Ellinger highway about seven
miles from La Grange. When
the officers approached, the

but was apprehended in the
brush about an hour later.

days in jail for DWI and a
$38 fine for having no driv-

at Austin. They presented a
concert Thursday night at
Baytown.
The youngsters, nattily
attired in black trousers and
black shirts, anji who speak
only German, are very well
mannered. When asked ques-
tions about their native land
and the tour, they replied
readily. One little carrot-
topped lad said he never
would have believed that
could be “such a big country
as Texas—it seems a hund-
red miles between towns.”
After stretching their legs
and getting a drink of water
at a local filling station—
they are not allowed to have
their own money for candy
and the like—they were
ready to ride again.
Just before departing, one
lad was asked: “What do you
think of the United States?”
jAbout three of them re-
plied in unison: “Wunder-
shoen I”
the West Coast, through the
Rockies and into Texas. They
are now heading north and
then will go east and finally
back to New York, where
they will board ship early in
March for the return voyage.
They arrived Oct. 3 at New
York harbor via the Queen
Elizabeth, and their first
concert was at New York

The potent Waelder five,

Texas honors this season,
copped a 59-37 tilt from the
locals here Tuesday night.
The Leps also dropped the
B game, 35 to 29.
Last week-end the Leop-
ards advanced to the consol-

Officers After Chase
Two Houston Negroes and
one from here were given
stiff fines this week, follow-

Patrolman Jess Askey,
working with sheriff’s offi-
cers, said he got a call from
a Brown Express truck driv-

that a car had passed him
twice .and was weaving all
over the road.

The Old Gypsy
Swindle Still Works
While the swindle was practiced
three weeks ago a mention of the
same may be accepted at this hour
as a warning; there is altogether
too much willingness to trust total
strangers.
Sheriff Flournoy has, frequently,
issued an appeal, in his monthly
budget or chat with the taxpaying
citizens, especially merchants and
filling station operators, to not
cash stranger’s checks, and ,ret his
warning—appeal has been ignored.
Of recent months, however, the
warning has been respecte<j.
Swindlers, women no exception,
are abroad and will continue to be
as all such cannot be arrested.
From Weimar comes, through the
columns of the Mercury, the city’s
weekly newspaper, a well-told
story of how women—classed as
“faith healers”—cleverly defraud-
ed, swindled to you, a couple living
in the rural section of Weimar, to
the “tune” of $2700, which sum
will, under regular conditions, keep
the wolf away from the back door
of a home for some time. The
swindle practiced on the Weimar
couple was the old time-worn
Gypsy fortune tellers slight-of-
hand trick of transferring one
package from one hand to another,
to show how much faster
fingers are than the eye.
As the Mercury tells it
“faith healers knew all about the | were sold,
rural couple’s life, they won their
confidence and had them to with-
draw their savings from one of
the banks of Weimar.” By preying
on the emotional feelings of the
, couple who were much concerned
about niece’s illness, the swindle
was successfully operated. All the
couple had to do was put the
money, wrapped in a newspaper,
into a purse; there to remain for
three weeks, and the afflicted niece
| not to be gazed upon for a week.
And the couple bit!
When they saw the niece two
weeks later and noted that the
nieces’s affliction had not dis-
appeared “the light appeared” to
dawn and one of the women took 1
a look at the purse which was sup-
posed to have the money, nicely
wrapped, therein. Yes, she found
i the wrapped package, but there
j was no money, only a crumpled
newspaper.
Too late! The clever women
swindlers were elsewhere. The
right to surmise prompts the
Journal to ask: “Why are people
so willing to fall for such
swindle?” Or, “Why do they trust
strangers whose faith healing by-
play can mean and does mean
nothing more that an effort to
rob people of their savings?”
Friendly inquiry of their pastor,
as to what “faith money” could
do, when told of by some clever
swindlers, or a put-off to chat with
their banker, could have, and would
have, caused a different story to
be written. Traveling “faith heal-
ers” are not operating, nor are
they practicing the game as a
health formula, they are swindlers,
they study folks and case their
jobs as practically as a case-work-
er does, who is employed legiti-
mately in a legitimate business.
Heed the warning of your public
official, he is your friend; avoid
■ the faith-healing swindlers, and
I check folgers, they are your
rianpmies.
