Night Hawk Tale of a Philly Cab Ride Gone Awry
A Philadelphia cabbie recalls picking up a dapper couple at Zeisse's Hotel and driving them across West Philadelphia to a large white house with iron railings. After the man flashed a lone coin for the fare, the pair vanished and left the driver with a story of a long ride and an unpaid bill. The gentleman promised a five dollar tip the next day, but the house and couple were gone.
