Of using the United States mails for
swindling purposes, Charles Lester
Murphy, twenty-one 1pars old, was ar
rested in his home at Herkeley Heights,
near Scotch Plains, n. D, by Postal In
spector William ]. Mehary. He was
taken TO Newark and arraigned before
United States Commissioner White,
head. He admitted his guilt. waived
examination and was held in default
OF $1,000 bail TO await the action of
the United States grand jury.
Murphy is a raw country lad Of little
education, who does not look more than
eighteen years old. He lives in a ram
shackle cottage in a farming district
with his parents and when taken into
custody was working on the farm in
his bare feet. Inspector Mehary at
first believed that mistake had been
made in charging him with conducting
a swindling scheme which involved
mining and other stocks. He operated
z. J. Robb Of Salem, O., made the
complaint against Murphy which re-
suited in the boys arrest. He said
Murphy promised TO send him Lunar
oil stock worth several hundred dol
lars for SIS. He sent the S75, but never
received the stock. Murphy was sur
prlsed over his arrest, but made no pro-
test He refused TO make statement
until well on his way toward Newark.
Then. the inspectors allege. he sudden
ly said he would tell everything and
smilingly exclaimed to Mehary, You've
got me all right"
Then he said that he purchased a
mail order list from a firm which sells
addresses of those living in rural dis
tricts and that he wrote to many per-
sons in various parts OF the country.
asking IL they did not wish to buy
stock which would yield them "a 30
per cent profit in interest"
He offered Western Union Telegraph,
Marconi Wireless and Lunar Oil stocks.
The petroleum securities, he says, origi-
mated in his brain. He was surprised
at the number Of answers he received
and says the people bite easily al a
chance 10 get something for nothing.
He has received. It is said, over $500 in
few weeks. but he can remember only
few Of the persons from whom he re-
ceived money, as he destroyed the let
ters.
He says he was led to try the swindle

TIPS FROM The BAT
attest eame Of che season.

Greatest game Of the season.
Wil'amsport was beat so bad Curt
Wiegand did not even have a chance to
kick.
Osborn was there with the goods and
was supported in great style.
The catching Of Piper was the finest seen
on the grounds this year. He threw to
bases like a streak. Piper says the reason
he was dropping SO many balls several
weeks ago was on account of his hands
being sore.
The only misplay was a mix-up between
Fleming and Campbell on a fly.
Campbell and Sullivan got all Of the
runs and most Of the hits.
Bruce is ere Of the best sacrifice hitters
not only N independent business. but in
the cnuntry.
Russell got a foul up against the right
feld fence after a long run.
The hits came when needed. Campbell
would single. Bruce would sacrifice him
to second and Tommy would then score on
Sullivans hit.
Williamsport has struck a losing streak
but is sure TO come around again in a
few days.
