he would have it done by Christmas. * . “I should have asked him what year,” related Mr. Perry ruefully. Bill Perry gave Ippolito $1300 in cash to start the house. What he got was a holé in the ground. And Bill Perry has to pay for that himself. Well, the Perrys thought Ippolito was all right. He seemed to be a bit older than average G. I., but he knew what the G. I. was up against, he told them. . Expected Civilian Co-Operatiogy He wasn't going to “soak” the veteran as some of the others were doing, he told them. No sir, this job was to be done practically at cost. Well, there would be a small profit in it for Ippolito, but not much. After all, a fellow has to live. a » Bill Perry was the first.to agree that a man had to live. After all, hadn't his’ 105 mm. howitzer battery {swatted down those German |counter-attacks to keep the doughs of the 95th division in good health? Between the infantrymen and artillerymen there had been a good deal : of co-operation to keep one another alive. Bill expected to find some of it back in civilian life. After the initial meeting between the Perrys and Ippolito, the contractor kept dropping by the house Bill Perry had found temporarily just on a friendly basis,

Just a Hole

One day, Ippolito brought two red bricks. They were samples of the bricks to go into the Perry home and how did Bill like them? Bill guessed he liked them fine. “That's all I ever got out of the deal, those two bricks,” said Bill. So they signed a contract. Bill Perry gave Ippolito $1300 in cash to cover the cost of the excavation and the footings. It was understood,

{ Bill said, that when the foundation

was completed, the Perrys would give Ippolito more money to go on from there. That was Nov. 1, 1946, as Bill re-

Once he was told that Ippolito was in Philadelphia “hunting building materials.” Again he was told Ippolito was sick with malaria. Then the whole deal seemed to close in on the Perrys. Thé excavating company notified Bill that Ippolito had not paid them for the! hole. They said they would settle for $47. The concrete concern which poured the footings notified Bill that Ippolito failed to pay for the footings. Fras ed An executive of this company said their bill for $58.20 would be written off as far as they were

Perry was in. Then, on Dec. 3, the Perrys saw & newspaper report that Ippolito had been charged with issuing fraudulent checks. That's when they figured they had lost their {$1300 for good. On Dec. 4, Ippolito appeared in criminal court. His $5000 bond was reduced to $1000, which he was able to. meet. The fraudulent check charges are to be presented to the Marion county grand jury. No Armed Service Record According to police department records, Ippolito registered as an alien in 1940. In 1942, according to these records, he was convicted of forgery! and check law violation in Wash- | ington. He was fined $200 and costs and sentenced to serve 180 days on the forgery count and eight months to two years on the check charge, both sentences concurrent. He was transferred to.the Larton reformatory. Police have no record of his military service. Meanwhile, Bill Perry tried to recover his $1300. He went to every agency in town. Law enforcemrent authorities told him it was a civil matter, that he’d have to hire an {attorney and sue Ippolito. | “I can't. afford an attorney now, after losing all that money,” said | {Bill.

After construction began, Mr, Harp, like Mr. Perry, ran into

The liens totaled $533, Mr. Harp said. “I paid off the liens,” he saide “I should have built that house myself, except that everybody said Ippolito could do it cheaper. “ Mr Harp is trying to sell the house “as is” to recover his investment in it. “You know,” he said, “I. crowled out of that Buick car right in front of that place and Ippolito drove away in it. ..“8ure I tried to prosecute.
