EVANGELIST
 IS HELD BY POLICE
Arrested With Travelling Com, panion.-Spoke Mere Last Spring

Charged with obtaining money un- der false pretenses, c. J. Albertus, a prison reform evangelist. who spoke twice to large audiences in New Brit ain last spring, is under arrest in Staf- ford Springs and is being held pend ing extradition proceedings for the police of Chieopee, Mass, and James, town. Pa. With him and also held by the police is Mrs. l.. V. Howe, the woman who is his travelling compan- ion and secretary"
 Albertus came to New Britain last spring, highly recommended by minis ters in New Haven and Bridgeport. He spoke on a Sunday morning to Everyman's Bible class and on Sun daN evening at Trinity Methodist church. He was paid $50 for the two addresses, both organizations sharing the expense.
 At the time of his arrival here AL bertus and his travelling companion failed to make good impression and it was only the lack of sufficient time to make different arrangements that prevented the cancellation of his local engagements by the committee here.
 He stated that he had been in prison and was working for the re- formation and relief of prisoners. He refused to give any interviews or definite information about himself and his address was conspicuous for its lack of real information.
 The police at Stafford Springs where A lbertus and Mrs. Howe were arrested claim that Albertus spoke in different towns in the vicinity of Springfield.
 They allege that during the week the service the self-styled evangelist would go from house to house in whatever town he was sched- uled to talk, and introducing himself as reporter for a Hartford newspa- per inform the people that there would be "big speaker" at certain specified church the following Sunday. In this way the ysay he got out large crowds and then took the collection. claiming he would use it for prison relief work. The police allege that neither Albertus nor Mrs. Howe turn ed over any money to any prison re- lief association.
 Albertus also is wanted by the ofi- cials of the Jamestown, Pennsylvania prison for violation of parole.
 Both heand thewoman have refused to waive extradition and are locked up at stafford Springs awaiting ex- papers from Chicopee. Mrs. Howe claims ta be an ordinary minis ter and also says she formerly worked on newspapers throughout the state. She gave the names of newspapermcn | for reference who denied that she had i any authority to do so.
