arresting officer he fell in a. dead faint
On recovery he made a written con-
fession, in which he gives the details
of his scheme He says that with a
former agent of the Reserve he fell in
to a conspiracy to defraud. His mode
of procedure was to insert advertise

men to act as collectors. He would
ask the applicants for a bond, but kind

would sign an application for insurance

applicants passed the medical examina-

had policies on the lives of his broth
