He secured his confidence in connection, with the necklace by pretending that he had sold stolen property previously.

He decided that it was safer to earn the reward. When interviewed', the prisoners locked the bedroom door. Quadradstein and Brandstatter carried loaded revolvers. They did not know if Grizgard and Silverman were armed. They did not hold the men up in the bedroom, but afterwards regretted that they had 1 allowed the necklace to go.
