hts latest operations -hich ended
Saturday after a. three day orgy Of

The boys method was unique. He
selected the name of Mrs. Charles
Andrews. of o96-Michigan avenue, as
innocent accompl1ce to his operations
Entering a store he would make a
purchase OF the first article that
caught his eye. He would tender a
check for an amount greatly in ex-
cess OF the purchase price. He would
forge the check with the first name
that entered his head. Then he
would order the purrhase delivered

cluttered with everything from eggs
and parlor decorations to a wash
basket and wringer Saturday morn
Ing she told police about the food
of gifts and expressed her suspicious

dent with Lawrence's arrest few
hours later Police hold her blame
less

name Employees held the boy until
Detectives Kunz and Fandrei ar
rived and placed him under arrest
Lawrence ran into a snag when

der to make a graceful exit he order
ed the eggs sent c. o. p. Mrs. An
drews was nonpulsed when the drfv-
err told her the eggs had been order
ed sent to that address. This gift
business was getting to be too much
when the Santa Claus started send
ing gifts c. o. D. So Mrs. Andrews
related her suspicious to police.
Among the stores that fell for the
boys game to the tune of around SIS
are these: Friduss Furniture Co.,
where floor lamp was purchased; !;
Humpher Grocery Co, where an or
der of groceries was purchased; e.
c. Mlnas Co, where g. wash basket
was bought; Lion store where he
purchased a pair of shoes.
