JAMAICA RACES.

HAD CHANGED HIS MIND.
Harry Beach Denied That He Contem-
plated Leaving Home

Harry Beach, country boy from Vir-
ginia, was surprised by Detective Harrison
at the Baltimore and Potomac depot this
morning He had gone there, he said, to
meet a young friend, Robert Roy Harley.
a resident of Columbus, Ohio. The father
Of the Beach boy sent word here this
morning from his home above the Chain
bridge that he expected his son would APP
pear and go away on a morning train.
Harry's age was given as thirteen years,
and although he is much larger than the
average boy of his years, the description
given Of him had been such a good one
that the detective had no trouble in finding
him in the crowded depot.
How did you know me?' was the boys
inquiry.
When he had recovered from his sur
prise he denied that he had intended go
company the Harley boy to Columbus, but
had concluded he would not go. After
changing his mind he thought 1t was due
Harley to inform him of his intentions in
order that there would be no disappoint-
ment.
Beach was accompanied to police head
quarters. where he related the story. Rob
Roy Harley. he stated Is the son OF the
owner of a machine shop at Columbus, and
Is the nephew Of Mary Anderson. He Wis
tied Virginia and spent some time with
friends not far from the home of the
Beach family. Harley said to young Beach
that he was a Jockey and told him of the
good times he had had about race tracks.
The impression he made upon the mind of
the country boy was that he was an all
round sport. Money seemed to be no object
to him, and the youthful Virgnian felt
that he would like to go west and
something of the world. Not only did he
enjoy seeing his friend spend money Law
ishly and his stories Of wealth. but he
pressed willingness to accompany him
to Ohio
