Swindled Negroes in Virginia Pension Scam
Richmond February 21 Levi C Sullivan and Charles Adrian from Harrisonburg Va were arraigned on charges of cruel fraud in a case where they duped ignorant and infirm Negroes out of small savings with bogus pension blanks. They wore blue coats to gain trust and claimed to examine ex slaves aged 55 or more with net worth under 1000 dollars. Agent A W Roome reports thirty cases, with many more expected as the duo planned to secure government pensions for former slaves and pressured victims to stay silent. Sullivan swallowed five opium capsules after arrest. Adrian faced similar risk as both await jury verdicts. Movements of ocean steamers noted. New York arrivals and sailings listed. Antwerp updates record Zetland’s arrival from New York and later Dover-bound schedules.
