Conductor's Battered Wealth Lands Him In Federal Toils
A trolley conductor named George Bisacca is jailed on $1,500 bail awaiting a December 28 hearing before Federal Commissioner Lavery. He allegedly used battered coins altered to misreport their value in a coin box on the Bar Bimm avenue and State street, pocketing ninety percent profit on each manipulation. The scheme involved a coin box with trap doors and a dial that misregistered dimes as pennies, enabling theft from daily public drops.
