CLEVELAND. Nov. S.-James
Cranney, 81. decided yesterday
it was high time he put his
life savings into q safe place.
So he stuffed $1,165 into his
wallet. went to o church and
asked the pastor to put the
money in a safe deposit box
for him. But the pastor told
him to take it to a bank.
Being unfamiliar with banks,
Mr.. Cranney did not know they
were closed on the Sabbath. He
went to a bus stop in front Of
q closed restaurant to wait for
a ride downtown.
Mr.. Cranney tells what hap
pened after that:
We'll, I took out me pipe.
And SOS I could light it, I put
me wallet on the window ledge.
I Lit me pipe, then-swoosh-
along come me bus. put out
me pipe, / grab me cane and I
get aboard the bus.
II sit down, and I look out
the window. Then all of a cud-
den it dawns on meme wal
lett"
BY the time Mr.. Cranney
could get off that bus and get
another one back to the restau-
rant, his wallet was gone. He
had saved the money from his
wages as a porter at Case Insti-
tute Of Technology, a job he had
to quit last summer after a
stroke.

An elderly woman got out

The young woman carried a

A witness told police that,
as this strange procession
neared the limousine, the
elderly woman and the man

A jail guard reported the youth
went to confession and received
holy communion in his cell this

After the arraignment the dis
