AMERICAN TIBSATRE
TUL9A Okla. July 22. Caught
"red-bunded" .aa ho was allefcc:! to have
been attemptin to "fleece" a passenger
oa a FrLco trala at tbCTulm station!
according to the police L. H. Reed SO
yean old and alleged to be one of the
cleverest confidence wen that ever op-
erated in Tulsa was lodged In thw'clty
Jail for Investigation.
His method of aproach according to
the polk.- theory wuh to board paw-en-
Iter tMlttn wklltMBd!BK at the at
lion find a suitable looking Tletnni
and tell a hard-luck story of having
h verpae ready to take to "the old homo
tack east" but that he needed Just a
few dollar more. Producing a check
rnnglng In slse from $100 to $1000 he
wruld oflfer to allow the victim to hold
the-check until they arrived at their
destination In return for it "loan" of a
few dollars. The amount needed va-
ried according to the "look" and sus-
ceptibility of the "kind friend." He Is
alleged to hare obtained nearly $1000
In less than a week's work in this city.
Numerous complaint have been
made to police headquarters during the
test few days a number of them from
women nud young country boys iteed
Is alleged to have operated at all three
passenger stations the Frisco the
Midland Valley and the Katy.
Heed was arrested as be was at-
tempting to Induce u passenger on a
Frisco raln standing at the stitlon to
accept a check for $1)18 In return for a
"loan" of $100. the odlcerH claim lie
was bending over the arm of the eat
orupled by an elderly woman of coun-
try appearance and she was In the a t
of reaching Into her purse when the
.Juicers nrcrsted the man. It is said.
The alleged master "con" man has
tlly attempted f.o destroy the check
but the oHlters graded the pieces from
his hands. The torn bits when put
together showed that the check was
drawn on the State National Hank of
Texarkana Ark. It was dated July M.
1020 nnd was made out to "J. It. Tock
wood" lor $018.00 and wns signed by
"L. K. Montgomery." It was written
In a bold flowing baud and probably
would have been accepted by the unso-
phisticated traveler as genuine if the
officers had not apprehended the ma i
In the nick of time.
Heed's a pea ranee Is likely to aroutw
sympathy. Ilc'is well up In years nnd
presents a pathetic countenance. Ilt-i
features are withered his frame is
bent and his eyes carry a message o
radnesa and despair.
To an observing student of human
nature the man can easily be pictured
as playing the master role lathe latest
and most cunning confidence game to
be detected by the Tulsa police.
