"A man by the name of Dunn came in response to the letter." said Kennedy. "He went back of the counters without telling me what he was about and began packing up Jewelry.' I gave him no consent to do so.' He told me that he would credit the amount of the jewelry to my account and that possibly it would be possible to start me in business elsewhere after my business had failed here. I did not give my consent hut I made no effort to stop him. An Inventory revealed that Dunn took about. fL200 worth of jewelry."
