PITTsBURo, Oct. i3.-The Rev Homer L.
Mckinney, for years one Of the best known
evangeists In the Erie. Methodist Conference,
but for some time past the proprietor OF a
crayon portrait establishment at Freeport,
Pa. was committed to Jail this eve ming by
United States Commissioner Lindsay to
await aIcourt hearing He Ia charged with
using the mails to defraud
According to the postal authorities Mo-
Kenny has been passing himself OF as
two girls, and has been mailing violent
love letters to California farmers; has even
become engaged TO two of them and has
collected money for wedding dress from
each. Post Office inspectors j. H. Wardle
of Philadelphia and United States Deputy
Marshal William Henry Of Pittsburg made
the arrest this afternoon.
Annie Hall and Mary Roberts, they say.
are the aliases under which the Parson
made his love. william lilly and j. H.
Cuff. ranchmen Of Eureka, Cal, are the
two victims who appear on the surface.
They are each engaged to marry the Rev.
Homer Mckinney. for he has not had time
to release them since the post Office inspect
ors got him to-day. When arrested this
evening he had little to say.
One year ago Mckinney was in California
and there met many well-to-do farmers.
including Tilley and Cuff. He was their
guest for some time. Soon after he re-
turned to the East, both Tilley and Cuff
began to receive letters written in a femi-
nine hand saying the writer had been re-
ferred to the one addressed by the Rev.
Mr.. Mckinney. The writer was evidently
a shy young thing who wanted to know
8 omething about the West,
Cuffs letter was signed by ANNIE
Tilleys, MARY" Each man kept his love
business to himself. Soon a request was
sent East from the ranch for picture, and
1t came, one to each man who received it
unknown to the other. 1t was that of a
beautiful young woman.
The next mail east carried proposal
Of marriage from each Of the farmers.
They were both accepted. Annie would
take Cuff for better or worse; Mary would
take Tiley. But the letter received by
each spoke of her poverty. She could not
come to him without money. and each sent
$50 to the girl of his choice and it ended
there.
Last month both Cuff and Tilley, be-
lieving they had been duped, decided to
come East and look up the girl who had
stolen their hearts and also their $50 notes
They met on the train and their story came
out Each was coming East to be mar
ried. They compared notes and found
each carried the same picture. They had
received identical notes. They got off
the train and went to the farm and tele-
graphed to Washington. The Post Office
authorities say Mckinney has fully two
score victims.

marks about McAvoy, and said that. he
