Jolin. Glen S. Corkery, counsel for the Jolin estate, said the gold, valued at $6,000, was found in an old trunk and in grips and boxes in the basement room of the rooming house where Jolin lived.

How Jolin had managed | to keep it ever since, if his “‘depos- itory” was his trunk and bags all this time, was a mystery in itself, Corkery declared. Jolin, 70, died Thursday.
