in Detroit. She describes the pur-
poses OF the platoon system as the

Story Of Robbery
Confessed Hoax

CHICAGO, March 80. Fred Man

had made little mistake. They
were glad to hear it.
His error, he said, was in report

in fifteen minutes by the same group
of three robbers.
1t was interesting story at the
time He said he was on his way
to his home when he first met the
robbers and they relieved him OF
$500. Then he said he walked along
until he met them again and gave
up his watch.
But now he admits the story was
not entirely true. He did walk home,
he insists, but the truth is he didn't
meet any robbers at all and there
fore was not robbed a
The police questioned him for
quite a while before he admitted
the error.
