 Cassin said he paid $4,000 in cash and 5000 in notes. The 20 per cent profits promised never mate rialized, the plaintiff charges and he since has learned that the foxes were not worth $9,00o. Officers of the fox farm. Cassin said, refused to return his money.
 According to the Times the Schbear company, which operates farms in Bethany and Berlin, Conn.,, generally sold q pair of foxes to' 500 and boarded them for $500 more. The foxes then were bred ana their litter usually sold to q new customer, the farms paying the owner of the pair $935, minus com missions. The scheme worked we'll for a while, the Times said, untl, customers became scarce.

GIVES $I,030 10 GYPSY
 TO CHANGE HIS LUCK
Grove Street Man Victim ized by Story of
 Magic

Having three tenements vacant in his property at 40 Grove street, and his income having been further decreased when he was laid off at the Fafnir Bearing Co.,, factory, Stanley kojsik consulted band of gypsics in this city and again in New Haven a few weeks ago, paying $50 in one installment and 5000
 in another to have them change his luck by making his property profit able, he told the police today.
 The gypsies who were picked up in New Haven were not the band the New Haven police sought for similar offences, Detective Sergeant George C. Ellinger was notified this afternoon, and so they were not held there, but whether or not Julia Stevens the woman who took the local mans money, was among them. was not learned.
 Kojsik told Sergeant Ellinger to- day of his interview with Julia. She listened to his troubles with great sympathy and after proper consider ation she told him his money was unlucky and would continue to be so until he gave her $l,0O0, after which he would see q wonderful transformation in condition in gen , eral, at least so far as they affected him. His property, for instance would be rented by the first of Sep tember and he would have steady income from the tenements there after.
 The first of September has come and gone and kojsik's $1030 went with it, as has a considerable amount of other peoples money when they were as ready as he was to listen to the gypsies.
