Later he complained to the police and Moore was sen- tenced to a long term in Sing Sing, although his wife escaped punishment The crime is called the badger game” because In Eng land it is the custom to hunt the badger, an animal, with trained dogs, thus giving the badger no chance to escape with its life, *| BPREMERME REN HSH) safe until they had cashed the check, Tossed Note Out of Window.
