FASHION DICTATES
AU these "intermediaries" have
moved like secret shadows through
the weeks of investigation. They ex
plained that any other course would
endanger1 the life of the child. It
was this secrecy that made possible
the $60,000 "Jafsie" hoax by which
that sum was paid to a man near a
Yonkers, N- cemetery oni the
man's promise to return the child.
The Norfolk Intermediaries Curtis
and two associates were even more
activo than "Jafsie." employing air
planes, yachts and fast miotorcars in
negotiations that ran. up and down
the Atlantic seaboard and out to sea.
