Swindling in Country Towns By a Sham Lecture Scheme
A Chicago Tribune report describes a four man scam in Illinois villages. Circulation of false circulars promotes a fake lecture by Professor John Smith on Shakers with staged performances and plantation tunes. Prizes funded by 10 cent votes lure villagers, especially couples, into costly, fixed ballots. The plan collapses when locals see through it, yet the con artists repeat the scheme in another town for easy abuse until exposure ends the fraud.
