Madrid letter promises fortune if Pendleton grocer shelters girl
A Pendleton grocer faces a curious Madrid to Medford to Pendleton tale. A letter from Luis Rodigues Crystal claims a $450,000 English draft fortune and asks the grocer to shelter the imprisoned man’s 14 year old daughter until she is of age, with a weekly interest, then split the estate. The plan includes funding to redeem a pig iron gate and transport the girl and chaplain from Madrid. The money’s existence remains unproven and unlikely.
