USED THE MAILS FOR
FRAUDULENT PURPOSES

A small advertisement inserted In
an eastern publication is the cause
of the arrest this morning of A. Wall,
formerly of Butte, Mont, and resi-
dent of Spokane for the past three
months, charged by Postoffice Inspec-
tor Charles NJ. Perkins of using the
mails for fraudulent purposes.
The inspector swore to the COM
plant before Judge Marshall and a
warrant for Walls arrest followed.
He was arrested and turned over to
the sheriff to await the action Of the
United States authorities.
The complaint alleges that Wall
published an advertisement in the
Photo Beacon, a New York publica-
ton last October and that farmers
in Minnesota. Oregon, South Dakota
and California were led into the trap.
