CONFIDENCE TRICK
PLAYED ON NEW ZEALANDER.
LARGE SUM OF MONEY LOST. STORY FROM BIRMINGHAM. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received January 3, 9.45 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 2. Confidence tricksters at Birmingham robbed a New Zealander of £15,000. They displayed opulence and told a story of money-making by dealing in foreign currencies. The New Zealander tentatively invested small sums on which he received profits. He was finally persuaded to embark on a big coup, when the money and tricksters disappeared together.—Sydney Sun cable.
