Blind Beggar Guards Corner as Real Beggar Puts on Blindness
Professor Walker paused at One Hundred and Tenth Street and Fifth Avenue to watch a beggar coin trick. The so called blind man fumbled a penny, then swindled him by sliding the cup to catch it, revealing a scheme to stay on a coveted corner. The beggar admitted he is not blind and explains the corner is a prime location for such deception. Later an ad notes a 1915 Ford car for sale by J. G. Precht.
