SUSPECT IS HELD
Police Bring Neil McConlogne
From Texas on SwindIing
Charges.

Neil McConlogue, &c. known in po-
lice circles throughout the United
States as an alleged theatrical and
undertaken check swindler, was
brought here last night from Dallas,

States marshal to be held for ques-
tioning concerning an alleged fraud in
connection with the handling of an
alleged stolen United States Treasury
bond.
This morning he was questioned at
police headquarters by Inspector
Grant as to his alleged misconduct in
this city last Summer. He denied
having figured in several transac-
tions charged to him, but did admit
a similarity in handwriting in a note
used in an attempted swindle
Inspector Grant said he doubted If
the prisoner would be tried in this
city. He is wanted in Los Angeles,
Calf, the inspector stated, and prob
ably will be surrendered to the au-
thorities there.

ted to Inspector Grant that he had
served two terms in prison, one in
Atlanta and the other In a State prison

check having been used in Wash
ington last Summer when he imper-
fa6 ri
Mrs. Alice Vollmer, who died shortly
before the swindle was perpetrated.

taker Martin w. Hysong, and Il few
days after the burial telephone re-
quest for the bill was received by the
undertaken, the swindler posing as
the son Of the deceased, asking the
amount of the bill and saying he
would send a check for it. Shortly
after the conversation was concluded
Mrs Hysong received the check and
gave the messenger S105, the differ
ence between the amount Of the bill
and the sum named on the face Of the
check.
Undertakers in all sections of the
country have been similarly swind ed,
1t Is stated. and hotel and theatrical
men were not overlooked. In this city
last Summer. it is charged, the young
man imperSonated De Wolf Hopper,
who was playing at PoIi's. He called
a member of the office force at the
theater. represented himself to be the
actor, and said he would send a check
he wanted cashed. The check was not
cashed. He also is alleged to have at
tempted to perpetrate a similar swim
die at Keiths.
McConlogue Is said to have admitted
to Inspector Grant that he was in this
city last Summer while fugitive

Federal officers in Kansas City, Mo-,
while on his way here, April 2. from

recommended that instruction in

Unemployment, juvenile delinquency,

pointed out that problems analyZed
by the members of the staff totaled
S39, or an average of more than three
serious handicaps in each family. The
number similarly analyZed last year
was $50. One explanation for the in
crease was that the members of the

had come To know their families bet
ter and the temporal and physical liza
bilitieS under which these families
were laboring. Dwight Clark eX-
pressed the opinion that 1t was good
economy for the Associated Charities

and retain the services of experienced
workers as shown by the better con-
structive work which such workers
could perform for their families.
