A HOTEL BEAT.
C. p. Howard confesses to SwInd.
ling Portland People.

The man who registered at the Falmouth Ho-
tel last July under the name of L. H. Jose and
who now says his true name is Charles F. How
ard, told Landlord Martin of the Falmouth Hotel
and Mr. c. IL. Jewell, the livery stable keeper
yesterday, that he was the man who had swind-
led them. Howard since his arrest by OfIicer Nor
ton has been confined at the station. Both Mr..
Jewell and Mr.. Martin, as well as the employees at
the Falmouth Hotel, were positive as to the iden-
tity of the man before he made his confession.
Howard told Mr.. Jewell that when he hired the
team at his stable he did not intend to steal it but
wanted 1t for the purpose of taking drive. When
he returned late at night, he fastened the horse
on Free street where he made call. The animal
broke lose and ran to the stable. Howard then
got away as fast as he could. He said that he
told of owning horses at Skowhegan and Saccar-
appa TO give the impression he was worth some
thing and get few days board without paving
for it, The man has been perfectly cool since his
arrest and said that when taken to the station he
should have owned up had it not been for Mr.
Jewelrs hesitation as to whether he was the right
party Yesterday finding that Mr.. Jewell had
no doubt as to his identity, Howard confessed. He
says he is native of Athens.
The fellow told Mr.. Martin that he had swim
died hotel keepers all over the State and this
statement is borne out by letter Mr.. Martin has
received from the proprietor of the Biddeford
House stating that Howard cheated him out of
two days board last week.
Howard was removed to the Jail by Officer Nor
ton last night and there he told the officer that he
had beaten hotels out of his board at Albany New
York, and at Springfield and Worcester, Mass
