part of the crooks business. In this
case It meant the Crofut Inn, which is
a saloon used by quite a sporty crowd.
We've trailcd Staatburg there before.
lie meets this smuggler Foley there and
talks over buying sapphire slabs for
making jewels for meters. These sap
phires come from Ceylon, although
Staatburg buys whole lot of Montana
sapphires.
Both kinds are good for making
bearings for delicate instruments such
as electric meters. We believe that
Staatburg could use all Montana sap
phircs. but he buys Ceylon sapphires
from Foley just to enable them to
smugglc in diamonds somehow"
DO they smuggle the sapphires in to
the country" I inquired.
"No need to, for enough sapphires to
be used for bearings of delicate ma
chimes are not taxable, although semi
finished stones have a tax of 10 per
cent. The sappbires are passed over
