his bad checks must come back
shortly, Reinberg fed to parts un
known with $48 diamond pin he
had bought from the Union Jewelry
Co. on a bogus check for $50.
The swindle was worked through
the girl in both instances. The
Union Jewelry Co. cashed the
check because the girl was known
to the firm. Ritter did the same
thing. Reinberg took the girl
with him always. She had been
corresponding with him for two
years and they were engaged. The
mother had objected but finally
consented to her daughter wearing
the ring. The girl gave it back to
Ritter today, however, without
hesitancy, saying she only wished
she could do the same with the pin
Reinberg bought.

aged to live at hotel here on his
facility for getting rid Of worthless
checks. Where he is now Is some
thing the police would like to learn.
He vanished one night with the
announcement that he was going
for an automobile ride.
The schoolgirl sweetheart has
had a bitter experience with man
she trusted, as there Is no doubt
but Reinberg came here with the
deliberate intention of utilizing
her in his swindling schemes. His
former address was Davis, Cal.
