Charles Riley, a Gettysburg farmer
of moderate circumstances, Is now
happy over the turn of affairs which
he believes has freed him for the rest
of his life from financial worries The
violin was supposed to be worthless
and came to him in the distribution Of
his fathers personal effects
:. Riley thought little of the instru-

He then suspected that it might~be
worth more, and refused the offer.
Gradually the would-be purchaser in
creased his offer until 1t reached
$500, which Riley still refused
Later in the day an effort was made
by another person to buy the violin,
but Riley is holding on to 1t until he
can obtain more The instrument
bears the date "1703." which is carved
on it. His father purchased 1t at a
