the old story of a young man borrowing
rings from "a lady friend" to wear them
for awhile promising to return them when
ever she wanted them.
1t was August IL that Hart got two rings
from Miss Sweet whom he had known for

other with a garnet She told Judge Kim
ball that she had tried number of times
