ton upon it. Mr.. Brooke supposed the officers
of the club would send the spoon along. The
club supposed Mr.. Brooke would take it with
him to New York and deliver it to Miss Ruth q
parents. When several days passed and no

started search. The spoon was found in the
safe Of the Hotel Bellevue in Philadelphia
