gel offices. on the way the officers
picked up a young physician who
could speak both Hungarian n Eng
lish fluently.
Muska entered the Office of Spiegel
with the doctor and posed as an illit-
crate foreigner. He complained of
being i'll. through his interpreter, and
asked for some healing medicine.
Spiegel examined him and declared
that Muska had liver trouble, bladder
ills and several other maladies, and
then wrote out a prescription on
which Muska paid down 81 as deposit.
Muska promised to pay $40 to the
doctor on Friday. Spiegel was then
asked If he held a physicians diploma
and on answering negatively was
placed under arrest by Murray and
