The Times (Washington, D.C.) – March 20, 1899

WANTED TO BE A SLEUTH.  His First Case was to Get Swindled Out of $70.

James W. Fultz, the Nokesville, Va., merchant who was relieved of $70 in cash Saturday afternoon by two clever swindlers, left the city yesterday morning over the Pennsylvania Railroad en route to his home.  He was still minus his money and will probably remain so, as the men who secured it are undoubtedly miles away from this city by this time and out of the jurisdiction of the local police.

It was understood yesterday that the object of Fultz's visit to this city was to obtain a position on the police force.  He stated to Detective Sam Browne, who saved him from being ground under the wheels of a railroad train at the Pennsylvania station after the swindle had been perpetrated, that he had recently sold his farm and a quantity of personal effects in Nokesville because he wanted to become a policeman, or, preferably, a detective.  Fultz stated that he felt sure he would make a first-class sleuth because of his wonderful memory for faces.
