Fake Crook Pulls
TooLong a Bow;
Lands inLock-up

New York, Oct. 17-Rule number
999 in the book Of higher salesman
ship, according to Henry c. Toback,
requires that the salesman pose as
crook or smuggler. This pose,
II well protrayed, will impress the
buyer with the idea that he or she
is about to buy stolen goods, and
therefore certain to get a bargain.
Big profits and an easy sale are there
by assured.
hands, said the rule was wrong,
and declared he would never obey
it again.
Toback had a $1,000 fur coat he
wanted to sell. His plan was to rep
resent it as a $4,000 sable coat
smuggled into the country. and give
it away for mere s25,000. He
chose as his victims the sisters,
Misses Catherine and Charlotte
Poillon.
That part of his plan was splendid
but Toback tried introducing crook
atmosphere by declaring in a whis-
per that he was the man who stole
the Caruso Jewels.
The girls called the police and his
assertion concerning the jewels was
recorded on dictaphones. He was
arraigned in West Side court today,
charged with having received stolen
goods.
Toback proved that he is in the
fur business, being a partner of one
Julius Klein. He said he was a
justice of the peace in Union Hill,
N. J., at one time,
About fifteen we'll dressed men,
appeared in court today to testify
to the good character of Toback.

PUBLIC MISLED
Haiti Killings Not Promis.
cuous He Declares, After
Seeing Daniels.

Following a conference with Sec
retary of Navy Daniels, Brig. Gen
George H Barnett last night issued
a statement aimed to interpret his
allegation based on reports from
Haiti that the United States Marines
have been guilty of "indiscriminate
killing" of natives.
ANY action taken by me as COM
mandant of the corps was taken
considering only the proper perfor-
nance of duty by the corps to which
am so proud to belong" said Gen.
Barnett. "At the request of the
Secretary of the Navy l should like
to make it clear that the statement
in my letter of October ., 1919, as
follows. namely: a statement by
counsel showed me that practically
indiscriminate killing of natives,
etc was meant by me to express
without due process OF law" and
not as seems now to he interpreted
as 'promiscous.'
Il further meant that such state
ment of counsel would have weight
in my mind only when proved. and
in order to have him prove or dis
prove the truth of these statements
1 wrote the letter of October ., 1919,
to the brigade commander, 1 am a
soldier and not an author. I feel GER
tain that the brigade commander TO
whom the letter was written fully
understood my meaning.
This whole matter refers to only
very small portion of the Marine
Corps on duty in Haiti. My full re
port shows that duty in general was
splendidly performed by the Ma
rines."
