Duped by a sharper. Sullivan County men trapped in scam
About twenty two former Sullivan county residents were lured by a traveling sharper into an association to buy a Percheron stallion for 2800 dollars. Each signer took a one twenty second share, but three notes for 84 dollars were signed jointly. The first note is due October 12 next year, the second in 1894, the third in 1886. The notes, held by third parties, expose all signers to full liability as co-signers, with no defense against payment. One man fears ruin and poverty for his family, while his wife mocks his boastful pride before the scam. Middletown Special.
