Police of Seattle Search for
Victim of Big Swindle.
Girl Found in Chicago Told
Story of Affair.
FEARED WHITE SLAVE CHARGE
Man Who Posed as Father
Gave Up $500.
YarbrOugh May Be Dead or
Hiding in Canada.

Seattle, Wash, May 23.-Victim of
an $4,000 swindle-possibly murdered
by a white slave gang-Clifford Var
brough, Pulaski, Tenn, is the subject
of nationwide search by federal
secret service agents.
Yarbrough, believed by the police to
be hiding, possibly in Canada, under
the impression that he is sought as
lawbreaker, is wanted to back up the
story told by Eugenia Murray, a 16-
year-old negro halfbreed girl.
The girl was picked up wandering
supposititious sister. To the police she
told story which led to orders of
Seattle agents of the department of
Justice to get on the track of Var
brough.
Gave Girl $500.
The girls story is as follows:
Early in February Yarbrough and
the girl arrived in Seattle. With Var
brough was $4,000 in cash. The two
posed as father and daughter. In
some manner Lee Francis Coyne,
Seattle horse trader, learned that the
relations were fictitious. Aided by two
accomplices, the girl says, Coyne, by
threats of exposure, forced Yarbrough
to pay over $500 to escape arrest as
a white SLAYER. AS part of the bargain
the girl was given $500 and a ticket
to Chicago.

companying the schemers to Victoria,

where she started a search for her
sister. Failing to find her, she was
picked up by the police and her story
was told.
Killed or Hidden.
Local department of justice Off
Gals took up the matter at this end,
with the result that clews were found
to the swindle, with possible indica-
tons that Yarbrough was murdered
before reaching Victoria, or else was
cowed into going into hiding some
where in Canada.
Coyne, giving the name of L. F.
Lee, was arrested the other day in
Ell Paso, under a white slave charge.
1t develops that, though married and
having a 9-year-old daughter, Coyne
betrayed Alice Manning, a Seattle ric-
| ture show girl, placed her in a house
of ill repute, later pretended to marry
her and later still took her to San
Francisco and then to Douglas, AriZ-
From Douglas the couple went to
Ell Paso, where the arrest took place.
Coyne. or Lee, denies any knowledge
| of Yarbrough, but he has been posi-
| lively identified by the Murray girl
as the head of the gang which OBJ
tanned the $1,000 from Yarbrough.
