ways complained of being short
of ready cash and had borrowed
money to plant his cotton crop

DR.. Kinsolving had made the
hiding place himself. 1t was an
ante-room in his basement with
heavy door and special lock.
No one was ever allowed TO en-
ter it. The walls were lined with
shelves of dusty old medicine
bottles and other odds and ends,
but one of the shelves was re-
movable.
The doctor would take down
the bottles, being careful not TO
disturb the Camouflage of dust,
then remove the false shelf and
open a trap door. Behind this
was a hole 16 inches in diane
ter, chiseled through 20 inches
of concrete wall. Beyond that
was the hiding place, outside
the basement and four feet UNI

There, in the wood-lined cav
ity, the SearcherS found $780,
600 in cash and securities, stuff
cd in old inner tubes, coffee
cans, bottles and an old carbide
container from the doctors first
automobile. A zinc bucket, fill
ed with fire clay, was in the
hole, in case of fire.
That wasn't the only treasure
in the old house. In a can on a
shelf was $4,000 in S100 bills. |
