Miss Mayme Korte, whose home is at
McGregor, claims to have been
swindled out of "a, 900, besides a seal
skin coat and jewelry, by one A. j.
Ernest to whom she was engaged. The
article states that Miss Korte's re-
lations with Ernest date back ten
years. Two years after their first
meeting they became engaged, and.
according TO her story, she frequently
intrusted sums of money to her adj
mirer for investment. The last alleg-
ed venture two weeks ago, involving
$500, is responsible for the complica-
tions which now confront Ernest.
Miss Korte informed Assistant State S
Attorne Zolotkoff that Ernest secured
this money TO invest in the Carlin
Calculating Co.. which concern is
said to have later repudiated the in
vestment. With the reputation,
Miss Korte says, came the awakening,
and she sought the advice of her at
torneys, Burres Il Mckinley.
Through their advice the young
woman secured q warrant at the Har-
rison street police station for Ernest's
arrest, and in the subsequent investi-
cation, she says, she learned of Err
nests other affairs of the heart. -
