URGED IN SOCIALIS 1S’ PAMPHLE = “SPANISH SWINDLE’ IS BEING ATTEMPTED HERE More Than 100 Letbers From Europe Are Already Received At Post Office. g ! The old panish Swindle”, for 20 vears dormant, has been revived, miore than a hundred New Britain res idents having received letters from an “imprisoned Spaniard in Seville, Spain, who promises a third of $360, 000, which he has “hidden in a secret pocket of his portmanteau.” He di- rects in his letter that first of all a cable be sent to one Pedro Lopez in Seville ‘if interested, and further con- fidences will be exchanged. The Spaniard claims to have been put into a Spanish prison on account of bank- {'ruptcy, but that he left behind him $360,000 in America, one third of which will be turned over as a reward to- the person who will cable the money necessary to raise the seizure of his baggage and the expenses of hi trial.- Among his bagsage is a pori- manteau containing a secret pockec where he has a hidden check for the $360,000. The Spaniard further adds that he cannot receive the answer to his r quest while in prison, but directs that | a cablegram be sent to a person of hi confidence who will deliver the mes- sage. The letter as received here reads: | i | [ ] { i i i i i | I i ‘“Madrid, 22 19. “Dear Sir: “Being imprisoned here by bank- ruptey, I beg your aid to recover sum of $360,000 I have in America, being necessary to come here to ra the seizure of my baggage paving to the Registrar of the Court, the ex- { penses of my trial and recover my portmanteau containing a secret pocket where 1 have hidden one check for that sum. i “By reward I offer the third part, $120,000. ! 1 cannot prison, but gram. to who will deliver “Awaiting vo with all my secrct “Yours truly, “R. de F. by cable, not i receive your answer 1n you must send a cable- a person_of my confidence it to me. able to intrust you “First of all answer by letter, as follows: “Pedro Lopez, “‘Lista de Telegrapos,, Sevilla Spain.” The postal authorities, when the batch of letters were received in New York, were suspicious of what the let- ters might contain, so they mark:1 the envelope in red with the stamp “Supposed to contain matter prohib- | ited.” When the letters were - | here, Postmaster W. F. Delaney in- structed his carriers to request all persons receiving the letters to them into the office after they been read. Over a hundred i have been returned to date. There is no idea as to how widespread the let- ters have been sent, it being probable that many cities throughout the state if not the country have been recciving these letters in the past week. | MELTING ICE WRECKS CARS Toda, 3.000 Thaw Causes Damages of in East Side Garage—Two Cars Demolished.
