BELLHop POSES AS RICH MAN.
Now He 10 in Jail ut Cedar Rapids-
Secured Money From Girls.

Now He 10 in Jail at Cedar Rapids-
Secured Money From Girls.
Cedar Rapids, June %. Culver
Beechem, bell boy by occupation all
most had the problem Of getting money
with little effort solved, except that IN
this town he did not reckon with cap
tain of Detectives MCGUIRE. Beechem
succeeded in convincing three youna
ladies that he was a rich mans son and
secured from one $40 in cash, Sc from
another and $3.50 from another. He
had some sort OF an idea he could
hypnotic the Western Union Tele-
graph Company cut OF some money ous
Just what his idea was can not be de-
termined and anyway it's too late for
him to work it for he is in the city
Jail.
Beechem got some attention from the
news gang in Cedar Rapids when a
rumor got out that Dick Armour. a son
of the Millionaire packer. was in this
city with his bride, lass who worked
in and 10 cent store in Chicago.
On the description given OF the mil
lionaire's son, Beechem was located
and he was recognized as Just an ordi-
nary bell hop, thanks to some who
knew him.
The story they told was that Beech
EN- went into the Western Union and
asked if they could give him thou
sand dollars that he was expecting
from Chicago If authority was wired
from that city. They told him they
could, if he was properly identified. He
told them he had telephoned for that
much money. Then he talked. He
said he was Dick Armour, son OF q
Millionaire That he had run away
with girl from and l0-cent store
there and was going across country in
his automobile. That he had Jap
driver but he was careless and he had
fired him. He said the "Old Man
would probably be furious at him but
would eventually forgive him. He
wanted to know If it would not be pos
sble for him to get the thousand dol
dars If Identification was waived at
Chicago The Western Union told HIM
it would, but that even then there
would need to be some sort Of an iden-
LITIGATION.
That must have had a bad effect on
Beechem or else he abandoned what
ever scheme he had in mind for get
ting money as he came back after
time and said he had succeeded in get
ting a draft cashed.
Beechem was already getting his
work in. He rushed UP to a young
lady employed down town and told
her fairy story OF being the son Of
local rich man, and wanted to get
dollar to get a shave and hair cut.
Later he wanted another dollar and
half for some gasolene for his auto
mobile. He succeeded in getting that
$3.50. Then he did the same thing to
another working girl on rich father
story and secured Sc. 1t was working
fine and he raised his request and Sc
cured SO from third girl and by
that time young lady number one was
suspicious. Beechem called her up
and asked her il she wanted to take
a ride in the automobile she had Dor
rowed the money to buy .gasolene for
and she said she didn't but that she
wanted her $3.50.
Then she told friend >about it and
CAPTAIN Mcclure heard OF it and all
the rest of Beechenl's doings and
Beechem was found hopping bells in
local hotel. His arrest followed.
