Newburyport Bunco Pair Hunted After $3000 Scam
Two men swindled Jeremiah Blake of $3000 with a three card monte in Newburyport. City Marshal Lattime sought help in Haverhill, where the suspects briefly fled by train, leaving a horse and carriage with a sponsor named Dr Robinson. The box Blake brought home proved only containing three stones. Police recovered the horse in Haverhill and criticized lax local efforts. The pair are believed to be the same two who tried $5000 from Charles Bradley two weeks earlier.
