self as Catholic Priest-To Get
Hearing Tomorrow.

W. A. Lynch, who is said to have
given two performances of a farce
comedy entitled I'm the Other Fellows
Shoes" one at the Arcade and the
other at Polls Theater. for the benefit
of the Belgian relief fund, was arrested
in Manassas. Va, Saturday. and brought
here this afternoon by Detective Pat
rick O'Brien to answer a charge OF
false pretenses.
Lynch, it Is charged, pretended he
was a Catholic priest, and said he was
from the Lake Forest School. Maine.
He conferred with members Of the Bel
gian relief committee. and got it to
sanction his plan to give the two en-
tertainments, which are said to have
been unsuccessful.
Friday night Lynch gave theatrical
show in Manassas. Detective O'Brien
was told the show netted him some
thing like $50, and 1t is stated that six
boys who were taken with him to
their way back the best they could.
Lynch was placed under arrest in
Manassas, charged with failure to pay a
board bill.
Lynch is alleged to have obtained
articles of wearing apparel from two
department stores in this city under
false pretenses. He is said to have
visited the Catholic University and the
Apostolic Mission House at Brookland.
The prisoner denied to Detective
OBrien that he had obtained the wear
ing apparel by representing that he
was priest. He said ne hoped the
authorities would release him and per-
init him to return home. 1t Is probable
he will be given a hearing in Police
Court tomorrow.
