 According to the story told to Po- liceman Day by the manager of the store, the young woman offered to pay down $5 on the watch and sign the necessary instaIlmcnt plan papers. She gave her name as Mary Watts and that of her father as John Watts. She said that she lived at 10 Pine street. The Pine street ad- dress was found to be fictitious but she explained that they had just moved there recently.
 Before anything further could be done, she decided that she would not make the purchase and she withdrew her s5. Later John Watts was To- cated but he said th' the woman was unknown to him but that she had charged various articles to his name.
