We have been in possession, for some days
past, OF the circumstances connected with a
case Of high handed s,oindling, which occurred
some two weeks since in one of the numerous
"hells," which, Notwithstanding the praise
worthy efforts that have been made to sup
pross them, we regret to say, yet infest our
city. A Young gentleman from the country
lately came in possession of about $4,000, and
was induced BY one Of the many pigeons con-
nected with gambling house in Calvert street
to visit it, and in one short night robbed of his
entire patrimony. The pigeon, it appears,
succeeded in finding out his circumstances, and
in the most ingenious and friendly manner en-
trapped him into the den, where costly en-
tertainment was set out of which he was in
vited to partake. After supper he was sup.
piled freely with champagne, and when suffi-
ciently under the influence Of inebriation, the
game Of robbing commenced. They succeeded
before morning, in not only getting all the
money contained about his person, but actually
secured his checks for the entire sum of ten
fore deposited in bank. He was not suffered
to retire at daylight, but detained by force un-
til the opening Of the bank, for fear that the
payment of the Checks might be stopped by
himself or friends. At the hour of nine they
hurried to the bank and drew the money, and
are now rusticating throughout the country on
the fruits of their villainy. One Of them, we
understand, purchased at auction one day last
week fine house, for which he paid in cash
200; another left with his family in the
early part of the week on a visit to the Vir.
ginia Springs. The sufferer is nephew of
one of our wealthiest merchants, who, we un-
derstand, had intended to take him as part
ner in business-Bah Clipper.


Look out young men-no doubt this man
was robbed through the influence of alcohol.
Had he been teetotaler, and attended tenn
perance meetings, he would have been guarded
against all such Williams, by the experience Of
reformed Washingtonians. ...
