Sc'naplro announced that the ttancs were of great value, but that if ho could raise 1 1,000 he could get them at that figure. Thin sounded fine to Kaplan, according to hi own ittory to the state police, but Levlne pretended caution, drawing Kaplan to one tide and warning him against taking a stranger's word as to the atone s value, suggesting that he con tact a jeweler that he knew In Grants Pass. This seemed good advice. Kaplan said to the police, so Levlne seem ingly departed to fetch the Jeweler from Grant Pass. During his absence, Kaplan said, fk-haplro stayed at.the local store, and the two allegedly de Tlfled a plot to defraud Levlne, the state police report asserts.

He remarked upon this Incident when he returned yesterdny, to his partner, Knplan. Kaplan Immediately noti fied the stHte police, who sent out notices about the "phoney" deal.
