he presented the ticket 0rossltght's

. short time before. the police had
seized the ring called for by Staple
tons ticket Ii had been stolen, and
was returned TO its owner. woman.
Grosslight was therefore. "out" $50
when Stapleton walked In with the
purchased pawn ticket. The ticket
was all that Grosslight recognized
in the ring transaction. To get his
money back, he took the money from
Stapleton and then refused to return
It. Stapleton appealed to the police
TO get his money back, after he had
been absolved of all suspicion In con-
nection with the ring and the pawn
ticket. The police told him they
could do nothing about It; as Gross
light had advanced money to the
holder of the ticket. had lost the ring
through seizure, and had held the
present holder OF the ticket respon-
sible. Stapleton threatened to take
other steps TO get his money.
