Of the institution where the money
brought IN by prisoners was handled
often amounting TO thousands OF dol
lars-he entered into deal with a
crooked officer. and together they ap-
propriated several thousand dollars OF
this money.
The books were audited by expert &C
countants several times during Hart
mans stay in prison, but the shortage
was never discovered by them. II was
finally revealed through sheer accident.
Then 1t was learned that Hartman was
such an expert accountant that he had
actually altered the adding machine. so
that it would foot up totals incorrectly
and make 1t appear that there was a
larger total than was actually the case,
An adding machine expert said that he
did not believe that there were 10 men
in the United States who could have
done this successfully
rare hook collector told me that
he would willingly have paid Hartman
large salary to work for him If he
thought he would be honest. There
are many like him In the prisons. At
the Christmas entertainment. when the
usual cracks" at prisoners, in the form
OF toasts, were made. Hartman Jared

others for a long period OF time, dur
ing which the slightest hitch In their
schemes would result in their losing all
they had invested" There was. for
instance. the aristocratic middle aged
gentleman" known as Henri Montfort

In swindling big jewelry houses out OF
large sums OF money. The plan was
this:
One day an ordinary appearing man

About a week or 10 days after this
purchase the elegant Mr. Montfort
would enter the place hand diamond
to the clerk and say that he wanted TO
get one exactly like 1t in order TO make
his wife present OF pair OF earrings.
The clerk 1.-THE sam, one. o! course. who
had sold the other diamond) would say
that he did not know If they would be
able to get an exact duplicate or not.
whcreupon Mr.. Montfort would become
exceedingly angry. make a few dispar-
aging remarks about the kind OF jew

must have a duplicate regardless of
cost He would finally offer forty or
fifty thousand dollars for such stone.

Naturally, the clerks mind would 60

the stranger wanted. There would BE- a
hurried conference with his superiors
and IN a short time trusted clerk

The clerk ponders for moment.
