ON WAY TO RICHES
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 27. (IP)
—Ever hear of a man being made
a millionaire in prison? This situa
tion is most unusual, but probably
will be the good fortune of C. L.
Skinner of Los Angeles, who was
sent to San Quentin penitentiary be
causei he did not have sufficient funds
in a bank to cover checks he had writ
ten.
A year ago Skinner was sentenced
to San Quentin. When he stepped
into prison garb he was considered as
one of the ordinary “down and out
ers.”
But when he steps out to free
dom at the end of his term—four
years hence—he may be a million
aire.
The sudden change of circumstanc
es is due to an invention he devel
oped while in prison. He has al
ready turned down a $500,000 offer
for the device—a clutch to prevent
the loss of oil well drills.
