POODLE DOG HELPS TO
IDENTIFY ALLEGED SWINDLER
Pet IL Means by which Young Man
Is Traced from seattle to
kansas City.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 2.-James p. Thomas,
son Of a wealthy manufacturer Of Bay
City, Mich, who was locked up at police
headquarters here today on a charge Of
swindlinE, owes his undoing to a poodle
dog and a pen flourish. The dog, carried
by Mrs. Bess Chatfield, Seattle, Wash,
enabled the clerk Of a local hotel to trace
Thomas and the woman to Kansas City.
The flourish made by Thomas on a Kansas
City hotel register, led to his arrest.
Thomas came to the Southern hotel here
October Is. accompanied by the woman.
He became friendly with James Osborne,
a clerk, and a few days later Osborne
cashed Thomas check for 800. Before Il
came back protested the couple had left.
Osborne traced the couple to East st.
Louis, ILL.,, and from there to Kansas City,
by making inquiries about the poodle. At
the latter city he found no trace Of the
dog, but a peculiar flourish, with which
Thomas ended his registrations on hotel
registers gave the final clue at the Glad
stone hotel.
Thomas asserts that he did not know
that his balance at tho Bay City bank, on
which the check was drawn, was ex-
hausted.
