rights to sell patent bath tub. He.
aided by the police and county Off

Mr. Hall became interested in the
proposition when he made several
trips with the young men, during
which they advertised the tub. He
declared they represented to him that
the rights in Grundy county had been
disposed OF. They urged that an in
vestment Of $1,000 would bring big
returns.
Mr.. Hall says he signed four notes,
two for 1925 each and two for 1878
each. The two men deposited the
notes in a local bank, taking certif-
Gates Of deposit, and later converted
the certificates into negotiable paper
elsewhere. Then they disappeared.

fled information charging the men

lenses. Officers SO far have failed to
locate them.
