Able Bimbo
Gaudy and gay with gypsy spangles, two coffee-colored women last week entered the East Orange (N. J.) Trust Co. just before closing time, asked Teller Howard Wyre to change 20 dimes into two $1 bills. This transaction completed, the gypsies offered to tell Teller Wyre's fortune. Amused, he complied with their requirements, took a $1,000 stack of bills from his drawer, placed his hand upon it. One fortune teller draped a handkerchief over the teller's hand, muttered unintelligible words.
Emerging from what he claimed was "a spell," Teller Wyre discovered that bills and women were gone. To police he insisted he had been hypnotized. Newark police arrested, Teller Wyre identified as one of his able befuddlers, a swart, shrewd woman who called herself Annie Bimbo.
