In a statement to the police she said she met a man who offered to tell her an easy way to make money, and suggested she should go fifty- Atty.

Later he said that if she did not steal larger sums he would go to her employers. Sometimes he demanded more than half, and she gave him the best part of the money. She had seen nothing of him for the past four months.
