The scheme is not practical from an insurance standpoint, but as often happens in such cases the slick stranger apparently had no intention of even giving the scheme a chance. He simply put the money in his pocket. There are two morals in the incident. The one is that slick strangers are liaâ€" ble to find that their smart schemes are liable to slip astray and land them in jail. The second moral is that there his tactics failed to meet with the approval of his employers as he had issued large posters giving certain alâ€" leged information and they had not issued cards for prospective members.
