Strange Credulity a 8000 Swindle in Madison County
A farmer in Madison County fell victim to an elaborate scam by a pair posing as astrologer and companion. They sought money by reading mysterious diagrams, promising hidden wealth, demanding large sums, and returning only a fraction in brown paper. The victim deposited around 3000 pounds and later found the money replaced by empty bills and coins. The con artists vanished, leaving the farmer to pursue legal remedies while authorities note related historical pay acts in the region. The incident illustrates a remarkable confidence scheme and the farmer's costly loss.
