Bunco arrest, 1957

7 October 1957. Clinton J. Sovereign, 68, 'investment counselor,' booked on suspicion of grand theft-bunco. Police say he took $16,000 from two women in return for phony oil stock". Okay, I admit it, I love the word 'Bunco' and I'm pretty much going to grab any photo to which its been attached but here we get the bonus of a guy named Clinton J. Sovereign! Clinton J. Sovereign? Jesus, it just doesn't get any better than this, sounds like the Russell Hicks character right out of The Bank Dick. I'm almost not sorry for these two women for giving their money to this guy.

Kindig arrest, false statements, 1952

29 September 1952. Mrs. Eleanor Kindig arrested for giving false information to Federal Bureau of Investigation. (You mustn't lie to the FBI. That's a rule)
