INGENIOUS FLIMFLAM.
A Scheme That Has Puzzled Even
the Up-to-Date Barkeeper.
From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The business df tlndlng a pocketbook,
"springing tho pigeon," as It Is culled;
the lock trick, which, by the way, Is
one of thu smoothest of thu whole list
und ull the others are cheap and
clumsy In comparison with the clever
scheme that was worked on a down
town barkeeper n few evenings ago. It
shows one thing, und that Is that the
criminal classes are quite us uctlve
mentally and otherwise as men who
uro engaged In tho decent callings, of
life. They are probably more active
mentally than the men who nro ground
into narrow grooves liecauso of ceuse
less tolling In an effort to keep the
wolf away.
The new lllmllam scheino Is wonder
fully simple und Is worked with paper
money. A $1 and a t' bill are needed,
Of course, bills of higher denomina
tion could bo used, but tho two men
who worked tho trick here used the
hills of the llrst denomination a l
und a to bill. It Is worked in this way;
One of the men will write In thin let
tering on the back of tho $5 bill what
Is supposed to be a list of his laundry.
For Instance, In this way: One shirt,
2 collars, 2 pairs of cuffs. He will go

in order to further minimize the possl-
