[Waldo Maryin, The only withess heard this morning was Frank Do- | manski, the alleged victim, & North treet cobbler, Attorney ¥reeman, of Detroit, lawyer for the accused attempted to e the two charges scparated, but Judge Marvin ruled against him, Domanskl, in telling his story to the court stated that he “first mot Astolsh when the latter called at his cobbler shop, stating that he was | golng to purchase a picce of prop- erty in the city and asking Doman- gki if he knew of any property for ' sale. Domanski did and told him of several places that could be bought The two then started out to look at some plots. Domanski wanted to go to Lawlor streot, but Astolshginsisted | that they go to Clark street.” He sald that as they went along | the street, they met another man on Clark street standing up against a | tree and sobbing as if his heart were broken. His sympathy aroused, Domanski asked what the trouble | might be and he was told that if he | was a good Catholic and a Polieh | gentleman, he would be told. The assuranceg were glven and the story was related. T'he man's father, so the tale went, used to be a contraetor in this city and he had become bankrupt. He then went to California and therc regained his wealth and wanted to ray back all that had suffered from his failure, He was fn 11 health and sent for his son who was in the old country. The son arrived, so the slory goes, and the father gave him £14,000 and told him to give it to an honest Polish gentleman whose rame he gave him. Upon the son's arrival here, he found that the gentleman had died | and in the meantime, his father had died and he was forced to hurry | back to California as soon as ha could find & man to turn the money | over 1o. He then showed a bLulging wallet in which he said there was $14,000 and said that if Domanski were a good man he would turn it over to him. He £ald that Je would require a bond of $1,000 from each nnd Astolsh took $1,100 from his pocket and Domanski gave his hankbook. He was told he would have to get the cash and Domanskl went to the bank and drew out $4.000. A box was bought to money and the wallet and the two bonds were placed therein, ting a cigaret hold the n get- | . Domanski let go of the hox and although he saw nothing | done, he became suspicious. The three men went to look at a plece of property’ on Beaver sirect and they appronched a went in to c nge said. The other to hurry him, Domanskl, Neither Astolsh his clothes, he went in after him Teaving the hox with Louse, returned and the cobbler went to his place of business to look in the box and then he found that le had heen swindled e rushed to the police station related Dis and the ar Astlosh in Detroit followed AWARD 10 SCOUTS oys Who Made Best Record in Sale story, of Red Cross Seals to Get Recog- nition Tonight, troop No. 9 of ist chureh and the thr 8 who made the tage in the s of Ked Cross ils will be given the awards they have earned at a meeting of the| rt of honor at the Chamber n'i ymmerce rooms this evening.
