$4,000 to 5000. OoO. The story leaked
out as the result Of a legal dispute over
two life insurance policies. and is TO
the effect that Pennell induced friends
in the east who had known his family
and the family of his wife To place
money in his hands for investment. He
would inform them of some good in
vestment which he had come across
which would pay an excellent rate of
interest and they would send him

two policies had been assigned by PEN
