Boylston bank robbers. The victim was
an Englishmen, who sold diamonds. He
and other jewelry peddlors frequently
visited the saloon TO sell their goods
to the Americans who met there
every day. On one Of his Waits
Worth bought diamond from
the Englishman and paid him half OF

saloon the next day TO get the balance,
