Ex service man recounts loss of money in camp fire
Vernon Spencer from Southern Indiana told Winchester police he and his wife and three children rode east in a car hoping to reach Washington to find work with the Bonus Army. He said a philanthropic man gave him a nearly new pair of trousers, and after changing, the old pair with all their cash burned in a camp fire. The family received aid from Red Cross and authorities discouraged the Washington trip due to the large ex service camp population there.
