lady who attended to the advertising
Of the brace Of swindlers Miss Bull is
a veteran I'm experience as an advertis.
er and representative Of this swind-
ling firm. We ascertained her name
from the publisher of the American In
ventor, Mr. Hensey who has also been
made a victim of the Asphalt Rubber
Paint Company through the interme-
diary of Miss Lottie Bull
The asphalt rubber.necked dead
beats, Of whom Beckwith is the head
thief and chief swindler, were former
ly located at GOA F street n. W. This
was before The Globe made their ac.
quaintance or was even in existence.
Here the American Inventor adver-
tised them 10 the amount of eighty odd
dollars, and as I'm our case, Miss Lottie
Bull came to the office with the cuts
The firm also called and were most
particular about their advertisement
It's location in the paper and the type
it was set I'm pleased them very much
1t is alleged that the bank account Of
the firm was I'm the name of Miss Lot
tie Bull OF this fact, however, we
have no knowledge, other than here
say, nor are we at an certain but that
Miss Bull was straight enough in her
part The only damaging fact against
the lady lies IN the fight OF Beckwith
and his fellow swindler This was
known to Miss Bull And when the
hrm, after an absence Of 13 weeks,
again turned up Miss Bull was as
usual at the head Of affairs, insofar as
the advertising and office work were
concerned. The American Inventor
hunted up the two crooked fakirs and
tried to collect something on their bill.
The brace Of sharks were sued and
Judgment obtained The swindlers
promised to pay gradually and held
of the collector until they were ready
10 again skip out between two days.
OF course. the dead-beats were execu'
tlon proof, but they viii have to be
proof against something else if the
editor of The Globe gets a line on
either one or both Of the ours. Miss
Lottie Bull gave our collector a nice
song and dance, and held him on with
a puazv tale of sending a check
through the mails. When the chech
failed to arrive on time, and the COZ
lector visited 467 G street N. W. ne
found the place locked up, the Jaii-
birds flown. including Miss Lotlle bull
and a notice on the door, VIII be
Back Tomorrow
The collector was instructed to Sc
cure Miss Bulls address If possible, as
we hoped to be able 10 trace the tmeV'
ing scoundrels through her assistance.
Rut he was unable 10 locate Miss Bull
II As highly problematical whether she
could or would assist in the matter or
running down these two confidence
men.
We would never have trusted the
rubber roofing company from lhe ap.
pearance Of the two crooks VINO rep
resented it. but for the honest appear
ance Of the lady and the trouble she
took in mounting The Globe Once
stairs on several occasions to see that
the advertisement was all right and
10 change the matter and cuts.
Mr.. II. w. Coffin, Of the Washington
Loan & Trust Company, Judge Mating
ly. in the Columbia block. and numer.
Gus other citizens would like to meet
this brace Of Crooks-in the penlten
tiary. where they belong The GLOBE
would prefer some other disposition oil
them. especially the lopsided, large
cared cur I'm the above picture, named
Beckwith. This Is a small worm and
people meet unexpectedly and in the
least dreamed-of places. Perhaps
this Beckwith will be run into under
such conditions He can have the sou
he owes us II II happens.
Since the above was put In type a
gentleman called at the Office and gave
The Globe some information touching
this accomplished blackmailer and
