Youth Accused of
Charging Clothes
To College Chun
New York Salesman Alleges
Prisoner Bought 1902
in Goods Under Name of
Wealthy Pittsfeld Man

Harry E. Splitter, twenty-tkree years
old, whose home is in Pittsheld Mass,
was held in $1,000 bail yesterday in
Jefferson Market Police Court, charged
with false representation in assuming
the identity of Stallman Taylor, son
Of a fellow townsman, with whom
Splitter roomcd while both were stu
dents at Williams College.
The charge was made by Carleton P.
Gasser, salesman for the Knox Hat
Company, 452 Fifth Avenue. He said
that some time ago the young man OBJ
tanned $202 of clothing there, giving
the name of Stallman Taylor and hav-
ing it charged. Young Taylor is the
son of Frank Taylor, head Of II. S.
Taylor & Sons, clothing merchants in
Pittsfield; is member of the Yale
Club, and bears name that is favora-
bly, known to clothing dealers.
No difficulty was encountered about
having the purchase charged, and yes
terday, Gasser said, the young man
dropped in again, saying he wanted to
get an overcoat-"and have it charged
to my account, please" Although en-
tertaining small doubt of the authen-
ticity of the glib and we'll garbed young
man, Gasser reported the projected
transaction to the manager who called
H. S. Taylor & Sons, Of Pittsfeld, by
telephone while the overcoat was being
selected and fitted
Mr. Taylor ST. answered the call and
said that there must be some mistake,
because Mr.. Taylor jr., was right there
in his Office at the moment, and had
not been to New York in some time
The manager of the Knox Hat Com
pany store agreed that there must be
some mistake. The next number he
called was Spring 310O, which agreed
to send a detective to the store at
once.
Spitzer's taste in ovcrcoats was some
what fastidious, and he was still hesi-
tating in his choice when Detective
Leaf, of the West Thirtieth Street DO
lice station, sauntered in. Before the
young man had fully made up his mind
about the overcoat he was under ar
rest. His father, Abraham Splitter, also
is in the clothing business in Pittsfield.
Harry was graduated from Williams in
1916, was in the Quartermaster's De-
partment in Washington during the
first part of the war and since Decem-
Der, 1917, has been living with an
aunt, Mrs. Jennie Halpcr, at 450 st.
Nicholas Avenue
Frank Taylor came to New York on
learning that some one was impcrson-
ating his son. Detective Leaf showed
him letter addressed to young Mr..
Taylor at the Yale Club which he said
he had found on Spitzer

men on board the boat. one of whom
carried paper bag under his arm,
sried to run toward the bow, but found
themselves walled in by the throng of
commuters and raised their arms in
token of surrender

ml'!ed about uncertainty, convinced
that they were watching a daring hold
up. The three men with revolvers,
however, pulled out official-looking
handouts and snapped them on their
prisoners, first carefully relieving the
man with the paper bag Of his burden
The three men who made the arrest
were Perry Kinyoun, M. j. Phillips
and Herbert Lane. of the narcotic
squad of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
and the paper bag which they snatcheo
from one of their prisoners contained
$4,000 worth of cocaine.
For some time they had had the pris-
oners, who gave their names as Amato
Perillo, of 222 Thompson Street; Pas
qualc Ferelli, of 1860 Broadway, and
James Wilson, of 905 Prospect Avenue
Brooklyn, under observation and for
the last ten days another Federal agent
had been accepted as a member of the
gang, which is said to be dealing
illictly in habit forming drugs.
This agent informed Kinyoun yester-
day that he had overheard one of the
prisoners telephoning to Philadelphia
that they would leave at once and had
"the stuff" with them. The narcotic
squad covered the ferries and as soon
as the trio were deserted on the Jer-
sey Central boat, leaped aboard.
