They occupied the same room and
went to San Diego together to get
the bonds. The bonds, however,
were not forthcoming.
The packet containing the $4,000
was left in the valley mans coat
pocket while he was absent from a
room the two occupied in CaleXico
Since the bonds could not be de-
livered, the valley man shook hands

The financier later decided to
look at his money. Two $50 bills

Investigations on the part of the
sheriff's department are said to be
greatly hampered on account of the
reluctance of the victim to give a
full account of the details of the
transaction.
Names of the men engaged in the
deal, said Sheriff Robert Ware, are
withheld in order that Investigations
may not be hampered further.
