GYPSY ROBS WOMAN OF $2,000 BY TRICK Pretends to Heal Her Sick Husband and Gets Away With Their Life Savings. Philadelphia Record. A gypsy, with vivid blonde hair, ornately dressed in the manner of her kind, glib of tongue and described as pretty, yesterday, after posing as a liealer endowed with supernatural pow , ers. tricked Mrs. Rose Tracy, of No. 1939 Wood street, out of $2,000, the savings cf a lifetime, when her cre dulity had been taxed to believe that , her invalid husband could be cured by ‘‘black magic.” , It was but the repetition of the age-old slim-slam game of substituting ' a bundle of paper for a bundle of money, and was worked by the char latan, after she had fed the gullibility of her vicitim over a period of six weeks, filled with hokus-pokus and fantastic ritual, which she alleged, j would remove the curse that rested on her husband. Mrs. Tracy, a small, middle-aged woman, despairing of her husband’s | recovery, came under the spell of the gypsy at a time when the chances of her husband regaining his health were at a low ebb. For ten months Fred erick Tracy has been confined to a hospital suffering from a nervous dis order. Doctors Gave Tracy Up. I The medical profession held forth no hope of immediate recovery, and at such a time she fell easy prey to the suave incantations of the teller |of fortunes. 1 Gradually suspicions were allayed, ' faith taking their place and stilling j ever practical thought, until the | knowledge that she had been cruelly ! duped brought a house of cards and | high hope tumbling about her ears. I Yesterday, disillusioned, frantic at the sight of her life savings wiped out and more terrified at the thought of what would be the effect on her hus band when be learns, she told her story to tlie police of the Twentieth and Buttonwood streets station. First, she had told her trouble to the gypsy woman, who came to her door and wanted to tell her future. “Your husband is under a curse,” the gypsy had told her, “and will never get well until the curse is removed.” Os course, she could remove the curse if madam would only follow in structions. Instructions were that madam draw ail her money from the bank, allow her to say a few magic words over it, and then place it be neath her mattress at night so she could dream over it. At first Mrs. Tracy was skeptical. It wm too fantastic —too ridiculona. But the soomth-tongued gypsy, garbed in her bizarre costume, with its flamboyant, tawdry colors, returned several times, on each occasion ply ing her with subtle words and ex travagant promises. She wanted to believe that Frederick would soon come to her strong and well, and she clutched at a straw. Draws Money From Bank. Hie $2,000 waa drawn from the Mink. The gypsy woman crooned over the crisp greenbacks with alt the j gravity of a witch, while Mrs. Tracy. ; j still a trifle suspicions, watched every | move. She saw it placed beneath I her mattress and she slept on it. > | trying to believe that Frederick was ’getting better by reason thereof. j But Frederick's condition remained . j the same, and one thing led to another •\ in the ridiculous hokum of the char- II latan. Yesterday she claimed that the 1 hour was auspicious for the final cure. - The stars were right and by all the . knowledge of the ancients, if Mrs. > Tracy would allow her to sew the - S2,tK)O in a piece of cloth and then t lock it carefully, in a trunk. Fred -1 erick would soon return to her hale | and hearty. . I The wife watched as she sewed the ; bundle of bank notes. Perhaps her E eyes wandered. She is not sure, but, . anyway, the hand is quicker than the r eye. When it was all Unified she : saw the gypsy place the package in 1 the trunk and she with her own hands locked it and held the key. 1 j “Do not open the trunk until Sep tember 10th and the charm will work.” j were the final instructions. Then , Mrs. Tracy and the woman walked , several blocks together, the latter con i' soling her unsuspecting victim and , repeating her admonition not to open the trunk until September 10th. ,! When she left the woman’s pres ence and was no longer within hear- ; ing of her glib tongue Mrs. Tracy be- i 'came uneasy. She would open the I trunk and look at the package to j see if the money was there. Surely. that would do no harm, she thought. 1 and at least her mind would be easy. j r J Folded sheets of an old newspaper I was what she found in the place of the , $2,000, and that was all. Yesterday % she told the police that she did not e even know the name of the gypsy. , She had never mentioned any name. I She could only give a description. Blonde hair, that appeared unnatur s al; large and unusual pearl earrings, t heavy pearl beads and she carried f a purple parasol was the description. - The woman, Mrs. Tracy believes, is r about 35 years of age. II Fliers were at once sent out giving I the description, along with a general > | order that all gypsies found in the r' city be picked up and brought in for . | examination. *j This having been done, Mrs. Tracy ■ returned home to worry how best to ’ keep the bad news from Frederick, for s she is sure that it will do him a - great deal of harm. t : » Limerlx Congenial Job “Where did you work before you t were sent up here?” asked the pri ■ bod warden of the newly arrived eon • vict. | 1 “Atlantic City,” replied the latter r The warden meditated. “All right,” he said at last. *TU 1 five you a Job pushing the electric chair.” C.

Charlotte, Aug. 27.—The “clocking" Tuesday by representatives of the of jaywalkers at Independence square ! Carolina Motor Club over a period l of nine hours releaved that 20,143 I persons crossed the street against traf fic lights or failed to walk within the lines chalked off for pedestrians. The number was greatly in excess of the number of persons who walked out of line across Greensboro's busiest spot—Jefferson square—when Caro line Motor Club representatives re cently counted more than 13.000 crossing that spot outside lines marked out for pedestrians or going across the street against light signals. The peak of traffic, so far as pe destrians were concerned, appeared at Independence square Tuesday between 12 and 1 o'clock, the checkers said. During this hour. 3.390 persons “jay walked" across some area of Char lotte's busiest spot, in addition to sev eral thousands who correctly observed the rules. Tile checking period here was from 9a. in. to 6p. m. The representa tives of the motor club will carry on their creek-up of pedestrians in traf fic centers of other North Carolina cities as part of an accident preven tion campaign. MANY ARE REFUSED COLLEGE ADMISSION Davidson Turns Away at Many Stu dents as It Accepts. Davidson. Aug. 27.—As many ap plications for entrance into Davidson College this fall were refused as were accepted, according to F. \V. Hen greveld. registrar of that institution, when the registration for Davidson was dismissed with him. The freshman class this year will consist of 225 students, and that many certificates were returned to would-be students by the registrar. Fully 75 more, he said, wrote to the authorities relative to application, and had they been encouraged their certifi cates would iiave been sent in, and tlie college would linve been forced to send back 300 certificates, because of lack of dormitory space. Two or three weeks before school was ended last session the freshman | class had been completed. That has been true for the last three years, the full quota being accepted by May 15th. This has been possible because of the five hundred or more applica tions that have been coming in for the freshman class the last several years. Charlotte Bank to Erect Twenty- Story Building.

Chicago, August 27.—1 tis more dangerous to be fat than it is to travel on an ocean liner, ride on a railroad train or fly in an airplane. Fat is killing off Americans at such a rate that special education is needed, thinks President Albert M. Johnson, of the National Life Insurance Com pany, in convention here. The cabin of an ocean liner is the safest place in the world, a railroad nain is next and it is possible the third may soon be an airplane, he has told delegates.
