The alleged forgery of checks
of the Las Vegas Development
Company by Roy Allen and Paul
f.. Stanley and the disappearance
of the suspects, has additional
light thrown upon it upon the re-
turn to Las Vegas Tuesday night
of Mr.. ID. Binkhorst, president of
the company
Mr. Binkhorst after checking
over the blank checks found that
about 35 were missing from check
books of three banks. Just how
many checks have been put in cir
culation is not known.
Mrs. Paul. Stanley, who accom-
panied her husband and Allen
when they left here Sunday even
ing and who was abandoned by
them in Carson City Monday even
ing, succeeded in reaching her
home in Long Beach She wrote
from there a letter to Mr.. Bink-,
horst which sheds light on the
actions Of the two young men.
Among other things Mrs. Stanley
said:
My mother has just told me
she has heard from you. Well,
Mr.. Binkhorst, am not surpris-
ed at what happened to me,
neither shall you be surprised.
ALLEN, Paul and myself left
Las Vegas Sunday evening intend
ing TO go to Salt Lake and leave
Allen there. Then Paul and I
were going somewhere else. hadn't
decided where for sure. That is
what they told me.
we arrived in Carson City
Monday night about $3.50. Paul
said him and I would go to a
show Allen said he didn't care
to 60 to a show. He would fool
around until We came out. So
Paul and I went in. We had been
in the show about 10 minutes
when Paul said he was going to
the rest room-would be back in
about five minutes. He gave me
the keys to the ca rand said, You
can keep them. You know I will
come back, and we just laughed
about it, but I took the keys. So
I waited till the show was over,
guess it was about Is minutes,
and he hadn't come back. So
was sure something had happen
ed, so I went to the theatre door
and asked the girl that took tick
cts if the man that came with
me had went outside and she said
he did, so I went to where the
car had been and it was gone.
will you imagine how I felt?
I could never describe what I went
thru the next "a hours. I thought
I would go crazy. had never
been in this place before and did
not know single soul. didn't
know what way to turn or where
to go. I guess 1 went out Of my
head as I don't know what did.
One of the men had seen them
leave without me, so he got the
sheriff and I told him my story.
He phoned to Reno to watch for
him, but they never caught him.
80 the next day I wired my
mother for a ticket to come home.
He took everything that belonged
to me, never even left me a hand
kerchief.
"Mr. Binkhorst, did you send
Poul 25 dollars and Allen some,
don't know how much? AT least
they showed me a check for twen-
ty-five dollars you had sent them.
I looked at the signature and it
looked like your hand writing, so
never said anything. and it also
had Bailey's signature. I also saw
about 20 checks in PauIs pocket
that had been made out on some
machine, but they didn't have
any signature on them. asked
Paul what he was doing with
them and he said, oh, I tore
them up
IF they catch him they will
hold him as I told the police 1
thought he and Allen had passed
bad checks but wasn't sure. They
also have a warrant in Long
Beach for him. That's why he
has been in Las Vegas. If I was
you would get out a warrant
for him there as I am going to
get another one here for beating
me up and for leaving me in a
place like that"
