Romeo from Green River Falls for Love and Fraud
Dewey L. Russell, 22, of Green River Wyoming, arrived in Alliance and was jailed after writing multiple checks on a bank account he did not have. He later offered a diamond for a new setting, faced with a refused large check, and admitted plans tied to a million-dollar will that required him to marry by December 23. He sought a wife via a Denver Post want ad, receiving fourteen replies and narrowing to a few prospects including a Denver Mint worker, before complications emerged.
