of canned groceries and at a time when
the place was supposed to be securely
locked with no one inside. Megaro car

Pseudo Friend Left Fake SlOO

Anthony Ozectowiski. of 25 Calumet
street, never had much faith in banks,
and he has been keeping his savings
secreted in the house He had $3.50 al
together. and this he placed in tool
chest under his bed. His saving pro
pensity was known to his acquain-
tances. and when a Polish friend called
Thursday with a request that Ozec-
towiski take care of 800 for him, the
latter readily agreed.
Taking his friend into his bedroom.
he pulled out the toolchest from under
the bed and, opening it. displayed his
roll of $3.50. His friend handed him the
800 bill and Ozectowiski folded this up
with the others The two retired to an
other room. and after a short time the
friend departed.
Ozectowiski liked to take a peep at
his money every now and then. and
following the habit pulled out the
chest last night for another look.
To his astonishment his roll was
gone and there remained only the bill
left with him by his friend.
On examining the 500 bill. however,
he became a little suspicious at the
color of the certificate. which was red
on one side and green on the other. A
closer inspection revealed the follow
ing in bold letters printed on the back:
I'VE need the money" It suddenly
dawned on him that he had been
robbed. and he hustled out TO the Third
Precinct police station, where he ac-
cused his friend of stealing his money.
