Show TWO PRECIOUS SWINDLERS. A Man Famnu. in (i. A. II. Circle. I'ndnr Arre.t. Chicago, Jan. 28. C. Perry Byam, widely known iu grand army circles as "The youngest soldier of the rebellion," nnd Henry Hart, formerly a board of trade man, are under arrest charged with a real estate swindle. It is asserted that they paid a small sum on a large tract of land south of the city, and advertised ad-vertised lots for sale iu exchange for grocery stores, saloons, etc. As soon as the. deed of the property was made over to them they would mortgage it and let the business run itself. It is needless to say that the deeds they gave for real estate were valueless. It is asserted as-serted that they have netted $i0,000 from their many victims. |
