Cleveland Superintendent Tells of Reputed
Check Workers Visit Here.

With the visit Of S. L. Stiles Of Cleve-
land, general superintendent of the Pink
erton National Detective Agency. to this
city today it became known that plans
Of "a man and woman under arrest at
Cleveland to swindle banks In IndianapO-
lis last July had failed. The failure was
due to the watchfulness of F. f. Miller,
superintendent of the agency in this city,
assisted by operatives who located the
couple in a North Capitol avenue rooming
house. The man and woman who are re-
puted check workers disappeared from
the city without committing a crime here
and before the detectives could make an
arrest They went to Chicago.
The pair, Charles Samuel Beese, and
his wife, Anna, are held under warrants
filed by four banks in Cleveland. Beese
in this country was known as Lieut.
Charles Sidney Breese, English war hero
and wearer Of the Victoria cross and
other war decorations. but detectives al
legged he has admitted he did not fight
in the World War. that the uniform was
purchased al a military supply house in
Toronto, Canada, that he manufactured
his decorations, that the discharge pa
pers from the English army were Dor
rowed and that the name Of lieutenant

BOYS NOW ANGEL

TRIAL OFFICER
Ancient Axiom That Girls Are
Better NOIC Only
Tradition.

CHICAGO, Oct 14-Boys are now the

mothers.
Boys are better morally than girls, in
Chicago, at least, Joseph L. Moss, chief
probation officer, said in an interview
today.
Girls are not only worse than boys,
but hte girls are showing no improve
ment while the boys are gradually rails
ing their moral standard" Moss stated.
Last year there were fewer boys
brought into juvenile court than the
previous year, while the number of girl
delinquents increased"
The old axiom that an average girl
was better than the average boy is now
only a tradition, Moss stated Prohibi-
ton is given credit by Moss for the gen
eral rise in the standards of morality
among boys.
Many boys who formerly came into
court here were in trouble because of
acts committed while under the infu-
ence of liquor This is not true Of girls
Practically none of the girls are drink
ers. While IS per cent Of the 6S4 girls
in Juvenile Court last year were charged
with sex delinquency, not one of the
boys arraigned were held on that charge
The boys generally were charged with
petty thefts and robberies. Only 10 per
cent of the girls were held on robbery
charges.
Thirty-three per cent Of the girls were
declared incorrigible and their parents
were unable to handle them" while
only II per cent of the boys were in
court because of refusal to obey their
parents

] OBTAINED SIGNATURES
OF MERCHANTS.
1.-The couple then would make a pur-
chase at some store and ask for a signed
receipt for the money paid. In that way
| they obtained the signature of a mer-
chant in each city. Then they would ask
the merchant for some good bank at
which they could deposit money. The
merchant invariably would tell them to
go to his bank. AT this bank they would
open their account with the small money
deposit and the large check deposit"
Then Mrs. Breese would appear and
cash a large check. If there was any
question she would ask, do you know
Mr.. Brown the merchant :? and they would
say yes Then she would ask II he
Endorsed the check they would cash 1t
and the bankers would say certainly
Then she would leave the bank and re-
turn with the check Endorsed, but the
Endorsement was always a perfect forgery
of the merchants mime.

INDIANAPOLIS "A
VISITED IN JULY.
They were in indianapolis July IA,
coming here from Cincinnati. The co"-
pie rented a room at 901s North Capitol
avenue. When they left they gave the
proprietor of the rooming house 800
hill to change"
when We arrested the couple in Cleve-
land | asked Mrs. Breese why she did not
stop passing the worthless checks, and
she said 1t was Just so easy I couldn't
quit she admitted she had passed
checks on more than one hundred banks
and that she had burned up more than
one hUadred check books. and still we
found more than a market basket full Of
check books and other equipment for
check work in the apartment where we
made the arrest"
The detective pointed out a circular
which he stated had been sent to every
bank in the country, with a printed
sample of one Of the checks and pic
ture OF Anna Breese.
Zone day" he said, "she walked into
a bank to cash check and the cashier
said Look here, that picture looks like
YOU and handed her the circular. so 1t
does she said, smilingly. Then the
cashier cashed the worthless check"
CLIPPINGS RELATE
WAR STORY.
When arrested the couple had many
clippings from newspaper describing the
lectures OF Lieutenant Breese OF the
English army. The story was that he
saved the life Of an English officer In
France and was wounded. Then he was
awarded the Victoria cross, and while in
the hospital met the Red Cross nurse.
Then they again met in Toledo and were
married
~ lectured to a group Of bankers in
an Ohio city" continued the detective
telling them of methods of these check
workers and showing them this circular.
/ On the next day the woman passed a $3.50
check on one Of these same bankers.
/ There is a good lesson in this case and
/ that is don't fall for strangers"
