Assuming Double Roles, They Dis
posed of Forged Notes.
Chicago, Sept. 1S.-John Grove and
e. III. StonelOuse have toppled from
handsomely furnished business Of
flee into cell in the central police sta
ton. They are charged with having
operated q froud in which both
played Jekyll and Hyde roles.
In their Office, at q Pacific avenue,
they were known rs e. Todd 4 Son.,
members Of the board Of trade, with
an over supply Of personal notes
which they We're prepared to sell at a
discount.
At their homes and among their
friends they were John Grove and p.
HIS Stonehouse, private detectives.
The men masqueraded in this man
ner, it Is said for three weeks. Dur
ing this time the real Edward e. Todd,
who is feed dealer at 1918 Wabash
avenue, and his son were quietly con-
Quoting their business and congratu-
lating themselves that they had no
outstanding notes. 1t appears that
matters finally came to q climax when
Stonehouse called on relative of
Todd and offered to sell note bear
Ing Todd's name. The police were
notified and Lieut.. Wood and Dctec-
tive Sergeants Cudmore and Bailey
began an investigation which resulted
in the arrest, of Grove and Stone
house. The former, 1t is said, con-
fessed that he had been impersonating
the younger Todd, but Stonehouse
stoutly maintained his innocence. The
amount involved is believed to aggre-
gate $4,000.
