Gypsies Enter Bank to Change Bills for Gold
In Kansas City on June 1 two Gypsy men and their wives entered the federal reserve bank to exchange $10,000 in cash for gold. Detectives questioned them at length but concluded the sum was not impossible to possess. The group then placed the gold in cigar boxes and headed eastward on the transcontinental highway claiming they saved the money from fortune telling and entertainments in small towns.
