Colored Woman Targeted in Cash Scam by Two Negroes
Cynthia Norfleet, about 55, says two colored men lured her into a scheme after a pocketbook was found near the post office. One man claimed big bills required division, another urged changing notes, and a plan to split her $112 arose. She retrieved $112 at a local bank and met the pair at the post office, but the others failed to appear. Officers report a similar loss of $350 to another individual three weeks earlier. In other news, Methodist Missionary Society held a social at the parsonage with hostesses Mrs. C. Wernerat and Mrs. W. Lang, planning a committee project for orphans.
