Mr.. b|NYON
IN COURT

Especial to THE TIMES.)
Dyer, Ind, Nov. S.--False represent a.
ton of identity was discovered this
week by Marshall Eugene Stech, in the
case of l. w. Binyon of Lake County
but now of Chicago.
Sometime ago, man who said his
name was Binyon, was arrested by
Marshal Stech for violating the speed
limit in Dyer. The man was found
guilty in Judge Soldiers court and was
fined. He paid the fine, but vowed
vengeance to the marshal saying that
some day he would get him.
Mr.. Binyon heard that his name had
been misused and wrote to this effect
to Marshal Stech. The latter made in
quiry at the city clerks office in Chi
cago and there 1t was learned that the
number of -he machine owned by the
speed violator. who gave his name as
Binyon to c. Mcdonald, 535 N 64th
avenue, Oak Park. The number of the
machine was 1898, Ill.
Mr.. Binyon therefore completely
exonerated in the eyes of the law.

well Curley- Crippen Case
Shot to Pieces.

Hammond, which for a generation
has been considered an ideal spot for
dramatic possibilities, was again showed
into the limelight this morning this
time apropos of the discovery of Belle
Elmore of DR.. Crippen murder fame
Temporarily at least the city was to
be the background for the perpetration
of the biggest fake since the Cooked"
northpole hoax. Forty-eight hours af-
ter the blowing of the bubble it bursted,
1t having been pricked by the penetrat-
ing pen of the editors and reporters of
a contemporary.
Succinct1y the scheme was this: Start
an international rumpus in the United
States and England on the eve OF DR..
Crippen's hanging. Have the execution
stayed and produce the pseudo Belle
Elmore at the psychological moment
with all the melodramatic trimmings
and present her to the gullible public at
so much a throw. A syndicate of Chi
cago and Philadelphia adventures
were to manipulate the whole affair to

RE|TZERS
0UTW|T
FRIENDS
Cats and Crepe Figure in
Matrimonial Escapades
and Newly Weds Turn the
Tables on Mischievous But
Well Meaning Friends.

Hats off to Harry Reitzer, newly
wed and treasurer of the Steam1tters
union.
He outwitted and s6utgeneraled two
bands who had gathered at his home,
ass Sibley street, last night, to seren-
ades him and his bride with horns and
old Kettles. and further escaped a COLI
ony of cats which was to be left on
his doorstep.
He turned the trick with an under
takers door crepe.
Harry Reitzer was married last Sun
day to Miss Marie Kaiser, a pretty
maid of Three Rivers, Mich. Before
leaving Hammond Mr. Reitzer, like the
good husband that he intends to be,
furnished nice little cottage on Sib-
ley street. To this he intend to lead
his bride upon their arrival His
friends, however. not forgetful of the
occasion, Immediately set about to
gather fifty cats which were to be do
mated as a wedding present. George
Austgen, a neighbor and a union
brother, was the instigator of this
nefarious scheme. George went a
step further and Sunday morning
pinned a mourning crepe to the door,
probably as a sign of grief for his
friends dead bachelor days. The bridal
couple arrived at o'clock Sunday
night, but the crepe was overlooked
by Mr.. and Mrs. Reitzer. On Monday
morning the benedict noticed the prank
and removed the cloth, but during the
day he heard of how his home was to
be invaded by a cat colony. No less
than fifty cats were to come, to begin
with. And it was in contemplating
this fact that he had resource to his
knowledge of psychological principles.
Turns the Tables.
why not reverse the joker" he said
to his bride, and when night fell and
the hour for the arrival of the feline
colony was but an hour distant, he
quietly tackled the mourning crepe back
on the door again. Solemnly it spread
to the breezes carrying its doleful
message to the passer-by. An hour
passed. 1t was time for the first cats
to arrive. Figures moving cautiously
moved up to the house carrying some
thing soft in bags and baskets. Cats
yes real cats. were to be deposited
but who would venture to play
practical jo.e~ in the face of death
Awed and confused the figures softly
stole away again, taking with then
some of the best alley cats that evel
showed a brick down the chimney.
The charivari band arrived next, but
the sign of death again put the kibosf
on the noise making propen< tiles O.
the serenaders.
They pulled in their horns and dis
carded their kettles and departed a,
they had come-silently.
Another band came up and the Indi
ana sign was again effective. Suffic,
it to say that there were no cats lef
at 35S Sibley street, nor was ther,
any serenading. Mr. and Mrs. Reitze
are reported to have spent a yer,
pleasant evening in their own littl
family circle last night.
