Old man fleeced by woman on Bromiley avenue
A 75 year old man on Bromiley avenue was swindled of $29 Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Rosie Lynch of Luzerne street. She was arrested the next morning and, after a hearing before Alderman Fellows, committed to the station house in default of bail. The man says she asked to buy her a drink on Lackawanna avenue and they went to a nearby hotel where his money disappeared. Lynch previously claimed the Flynns of Robinson street robbed her of $12 in the same manner.
