The gang operated successfully in Rock Hill, Branchville, WVstvilu. Charlotte and other neighboring towns and cities, using James Parris, an unsophisticated couutry boy. as a decoy. Asking examination of the gems the importers were led to ship the precious stones to Parris. When they arrived at the express office, Duke, who professed to be a Jeweler, would show up, with professional care oxamlno them, and with some flimsy excuse turn then, back on the express company to be returned, tuklng cure during the examination to substitute the false gems for the originals. The imitation stones were supplied by a house in Terre Haute. Ind Harris, whom the swindlers used as a tool, is an Ignorant country bo>. who can neither read nor write.
