ARRESTED AFTER
A LONG CHASE
j. A. Massey. Of East Dur

Especial TO The Times. Dispatch.l
KEYSV1LLE. VA, Feb. B.-Some days
ago young man supposed to be ]. A.
Massey. OF East Durham. N. c., arrived
hero and stopped with the Chief OF Police,
who conducts boarding house. Shortly
after his arrival there came letters from
the Insurance Commissioner OF North
Carolina, stating that Massey was wanted
In that State for collecting premiums on
life policies which were never delivered
and offering reward of SO for his arrest.
A telegram was sent to Raleigh stating
that the man wanted was supposed to
be here, and asked for a description. This
was sent. but It was not accurate enough
TO Justify an arrest. However. the au-
thorities endeavored to keep the man
under surveillance. but this morning
and took his grip along, leaving the Chief
OF Police an unsettled board bill as a
memento OF his visit
On the 1 O'clock train from Durham.
Hon. ]. r. Young. the Insurance Com
missioner OF North Carolina, arrived, ac-
companied by an officer. and was much
chagrined to hear of Masseys escape.
Massey went in the direction OF brakes
Branch. Passing that place he went on
to Messing Ford where he was overtaken
IN the depot and arrested. He consented
to return to North Carolina
He Is we'll connected in Durham county,
some OF his near relatives being wealthy
and prominent. He has borne good
character heretofore and his family and
friends are much surprised at his late
conduct.
Insurance Commissioner Young says
there are several warrants in North Caro-
lima for Massey's arrest. His methods
were to approach people. claim to be an
insurance agent, write their applications
for Insurance. pocket the money, and
never send in the papers. He has been
an agent for several different companies
during the past 1--WE or six years.
