Gypsy Frauds Arrests as County Court Prepares for Sept
County Attorney M. M. Cooney and Sheriff A. A. Robertson returned from Hackensack New Jersey with two suspected Gypsies Eli Thompson 28 and Pete Thompson 23 accused of defrauding Carl Glode of 10000 dollars by promising to double his money. They waived preliminary hearing and were bound over to the September Grand Jury with bonds set at 20000 each. The King of the Gypsy tribe is reportedly arranging cash bail to secure temporary liberty until the Grand Jury session opening September 9. Legal actions listed include guardianship suits and various auto fuel and property disputes in Fayette County with multiple plaintiffs seeking damages or guardianship appointments. Veteran J J Earle begins a charter membership drive for the Daughters of Union Veterans in the county, aiming for one tent and about ten prospective members, with twenty eight signatures already collected for the application.
