What Might Have Been Street Musician Fortunes Fade
A blind colored man playing an accordion near the new Government building earned quick money yesterday. A Hast End lady dropped two bright cents in his cup, then a post office errand led to a lost fortune of two five dollar gold pieces. Officers recovered the coins after the man, now climbing stairs, was stopped and the woman returned. She paid him two quarter dollars and the scene shifted to the tunes of Goldie, Thee, Art Gone, but Not Forgotten.
