Won Many Women by Core

Cleveland-John Francis Beckwith,
poet. author and soldier, was arrested
recently because of his successful
method of making love by mail. He
was accused Of winning the hearts of
women and then procuring money from
them.
Beckwith had a complete system of
love correspondence beginning with a
friendly letter referring lightly TO love.
One by one the letters increased in the
intensity of their love expressions. In
masterful English Beckwith finished
up the mail campaign with such fer
vor that they all fell for it."
When arrested, BeCkwith had the
names of 75 women in towns and cities
throughout the country. He kept a
ledger telling how far the correspond
ence had advanced In each case. The
replies from some women made it evil
dent that the time was ripe for pro-
curing the loan"
Beckwith served as an English Off
GERS through the BOer war. He is a
college graduate, holding two degrees.
He was born in Norway, his father
having been a former chief justice OF
