been robbed of $40. But hear her tell the
story: She testified that she had tapped a
key of beer and had embibed rather freely;
the young men being old acquaidtances
were invited into her boudoir where she
flashed her roll of $40. then she fell asleep
and when she awoke she discovered that she
was all mussed up and that the Doodle had
been ia ken from her stocking, which had
been pulled down during the nap.
She kept the money in her sock for safe
keeping and the young men knew where it
was becaus she had gone into her "kick" to
show them her roll before going to sleep.
