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

He said that ho would let the others
