His mode of procedure was to APP
proach his victim. and tell hard luck
story. He reached his climax saying
he had not had meal for two days
and must sacrifice a dear memento in
order TO get the coin for something
to eat. He then pulled off heavy
ring which is stamped "14-karat." and
engraved II. to W." or some other
letters.
He distributed great number of
these rings before he left. collecting
amounts varying from $3.50 to IS for
each of them. which. a local 1eweler
says, are worth about Is cents.
