Florida promoter whose “busi¬

cars under sponsorship of vari¬
ous charitable organizations,
found that his own luck ran out
here before the "lucky winner”
'ould claim his prize auto.
Cadmus Samples, the promo¬

■ars, found himself lodged in
Daugherty County jail after
officials of the American Legion
°ost 412 here found a $1,900
shortage in receipts from the
sale of the raffle tickets.
Samples was charged with
‘cheating and swindling” when,
according to J. B. Anderson,
post commander, only $700
could be found in the post safe,
from the sale of over 2685 tick¬
ets as shown by the stubs, at $1
each.
The discrepancy came during
the ‘‘Mercury Bail” at a local
auditorium. A taxi driver, Dan¬
iel Tookes, who held the lucky
