AUSTRALIAN NEARLY STRANDED IN PARIS
ALL CASH TAKEN By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 8 a.m. PARIS, Friday. John Walker, the Woolongong storekeeper, who was duped in Paris, says the haul of 70,000 francs represented his whole letter of credit and he would have been stranded with his wife and daughter, but for the fact that they had booked an extensive Cook’s European tour. The refund thus enabled him to pay the passages to Australia. John Kerr, who robbed him, first induced him to cash the letter of credit on the suggestion that the franc was on the eve of falling heavily.—A. and N.Z.
