SAT?EDai ?VLMJM*. nov. 26, ONE TRICK OF a HOTEL BEAT. "The strangest typo 01 hotel bent I ever encountered," said a veterau New Orleans bonifaoe, "walked into oui house one evening about ten year? ? u . registered, and went directly to bi. room. I was at the desk and nolict ^ casually that be was a stout, good look iug inao, and that he wore a hoi ds u fall overcoat. He had no bagua^e and paid in advance, remarking ttam he had merely stopped over en route to Galveston, and bis things ad eouo oi. Next u O.ming there a terrific im? roar. 'Jhe stranger, it seemed, had been roboed. According to bis stun, he woke up to find the room in disor? der and his coat, vest and shirt gone. He claimed to have had a gold watch, Beveral hundred dollars and a nunilxr of valuable papers in the pockets of his coat and vest, and three diamond studs in the shirt. I felt sure the loss was exaggerated, but thert was no doubt about the things being gone, aud I was on the point of com? promising the claim when my lawyer? poor fellow, he's dead now?insisted on holding him off until we investigated his record. We soon found some of his statements as to his antecedents to be false, and he thereupon took the aiarm and quietly departed. I never snv\ him again, but a hotel detective of m> acquaintance encuuntered him in C: i cago, and he told him how the seht mt was worked. The beat had on neither coat, vest nor shirt when he registered, and had merely pinned a collar anu cravat inside the lapels of bis overcoat It was as simple as A, B C, and madt out a clear case when ho raised thc row in the morning.?[New Or.'eam Times Democrat.
