The article relates the experience of David Lumiansky, an insurance agency owner from New Bedford, Massachusetts who found a parcel containing $20,000 of U.S. Mint paper bills. He reported it to Chief of Police Chester A. Churchill of Wareham and the story was published in the "New Bedford Standard-Times" newspaper. People began to doubt the story of how he found the money two weeks after nobody claimed it. Many people called or wrote him asking for donations or inquiring about the money.
