When Zanoni produced his money it was found they did not have a sufficient number of $100 bills with them, and it was agreed that the sum they had with them ami Mr. Zanoni’s should be placed together in a trunk and left in Zazoni’s confectionery, the key being held by one of the sharpers, while the three proceeded to Indianapolis, where the two sharpers j represented that they bad a business es*I tablishment, to get more bills. Shortly after leaving the confectionery one of the snarpers, on some pretence, absented himself from the party, and returned to the confectionery and took the money from the trunk, and then rejoined the other two and proceeded to Indianapolis, where Mr. Zanoni lost track of them, j and on his return to Cincinnati found his money gone.
