Rich Prisoner Swindle Trick Used in Texas BRECKENRIDGE, (U.W-- The old "wealthy prisoner" swindle has started again, despite efforts of the United States and Mexican officials to stamp it out. Hundreds of isolated Texas ranchers have been receiving letters from persons asserting they are in Mexican prisons, and also professing to have small fortunes tied up in American customs houses. And surprisingly, many receivers of the letters have been mulcted of their life's savings trying to help the writers "out of prison" to share in their fortunes. One letter urged a Texas citizen to help the writer "save a sum S285.000 which I have in bank bills inside a secret trunk" deposited in a U.

S. customs house. The alleged prisoner said he would send the Texan evidence that he was being held on a bankruptcy charge, adding that it was necessary for the letter recipient to pay process expenses. The letter said the writer would, compensate his "benefactor" by "giving him a third of the said sum." To Turn on Natural Gas Line at Kensett KENSETT--L. D.
