Works Physicians.
Halls game is to approach some
physician with the proposition that he
will appoint him medical examiner for
some insurance company at stated
salary. If the physician takes kindly
to the proposition Hall then informs
him that it will be necessary to take
out a policy. A number Of the ply
sicians "bit" and paid Han the first
premium which ranged from SO to
$40. While working the graft in Mum
Gle, Hail claimed that he was a rep
resentative of the Cleveland Life In
surance company. A9 other points
throughout tbe state his claim was
that he was representative of the
Western ReservA.Iife Insurance COM
pany, at Muncie.
Warnings had been issued to nearly
every department in Indiana to arrest
the man if possible. Letters to Chief
Van Benbow, OF the local department,
indicate that Hall operated under the
name of Howard Shaffer in some 10
calities A trail of his work was left
at Indianapolis, Delphi, Marion, Ko-
komo, Charlottesville, Rushville, la
fayette. Greensburg. Richmond and
Cincinnati. At all Of the places ply
sicians took up with his proposition.

Only last week Hall was apprehend.
ed by the Cincinnati police at a hotel
there. The officers did not keep a
careful watch over the man and he
managed to escape before being taken

/ Hall. He was arrested there some
months ago for working his insurance

after he had taken French leave" II
was discovered that the bail check
was fraudulent.
Hall has a wife and family living in
Indianapolis. While closing his deals
with the medical examiners he repre-
sents that he has an office in Indiana
polls, and, in turn gives as reference

Letters OF inquiry too the physician
however, disclosed the fact that Hal
was crooked.
In all the cities where he operated

ORGANIZED LOCAL CHURCH
SEEN CONGREGATION GROW
FROM SIXTEEN TO NINETY-TWo
MEMBERS.

Rev. Morton Hobson, who has been
pastor Of the United Brethren church

been assigned to Newport, KY, to take

ference is held at Red Key. Indiana
The Rev. Hobson attended the Miami
conference of the church at Dayton,

ceived the call to Newport.
Rev. Hobson has had unusual sue
cess in this city. When he came here
there were but sixteen members OF
the church. The first meetings were
in the G. A R. headquarters Three
years ago the congregation contracted
for their present home. which was then
used by the United Presbyterian
church. The latter congregation had
no use for the church as they had the
Reid Memorial church for quarters.
Has Had Big Growth.
During the past five years the
church has grown from 16 members to
90. and a large number attending the
other departments regularly. The
Rev. Hobson has been instrumental in
the growth of the church.
His new charge is a new church, en-
tirely out of debt and is supported By
a large congregation. He will at
tend the White River conference at
Red Key, which opens tomorrow. and
present his annual report as well as
hand in his resignation. His leaving
will be greatly regretted by the mem
bers of the church He will take
charge Of his new congregation In Sep
tember and will start at once to move
his family to Newport.
