Could Not Fool Blind Man.

Americus, Ga.—Henry Otin has been carrying a chain because he could not make a blind man take a newspaper clipping for a $1 bill. Otin’s conviction was brought about when Ed Jenkins, blind coroner of Sumter county, unerringly rejected several slips of paper handed him in court and identified the one Otin had passed him for the dollar note. Judge Harper assessed Otin’s punishment at twelve months on the chain gang.
