Gold Bricks Swindle Near Anderson Indiana
In Mundiz Indiana a man using the name George Andrews visited Uriah C. Vermillion and claimed a distant kinship. He offered a supposed Arizona gold mine stake and led Vermillion to buy bricks said to be gold. A copper assay deemed the bricks genuine but the conmen fled, aided by Vermillion’s son Jesse, who suspected the scheme. No money was reportedly lost by the Vermillions, though thousands may have been taken by the swindlers.
