If he did not get the money. Sanders
turned to the Mexican and said: LET me
have 50 for the watch or he will sell 1t to
someone else. "TheMexican handed out the
desired sum, which Sanders then gave his
pal, telling him to go and get the watch.
The latter started off and did not con Q
back. So after waiting short while
Sanders started out to see what KEEP ms
pal so long (?) and never returned. The
Mexican remained while but soon noti-
