Private Performance at
State Farm Awarded
Fake Deputy.

DEPUTY Sheriff Charles Bell
~ found a poor impersonator Of
himself in Fred T. Bell, 90, Of
Louisville, KY.
Fred Bell, who came to Indian
apolis a few days ago, used a
badge resembling the one worn by
a deputy sheriff, to pass the door
men of a number of Indianapolis
theaterS.
He threw back his coat, passed
in as Deputy Sheriff Bell, saw the
show and attended another.
But one cannot raise a meal
with a badge.
Fred needed cash. He wrote out
a check to himself in black ink,
signed the name Williams" to it in
blue ink, and endorsed it with an
indelible pencil.
He could not convince his land
lady, nor a corner grocer that the
check was above board. So he
went so far as to call from the
grocery the sheriff's Office and
asked them to assert that Deputy
Bell was good for thirty dollars"
Suspicion was aroused AID the
real Deputy Bell went after
pseudo Deputy Bell and brought
him Thursday before Municipal
Judge Paul c. Wetter.
Il bought the badge from a
hungry fellow I met on the street"
the deputy" told the court. The
court smiled. Il did not mean any
harm" continued the defendant.
Fifty dollars and costs, and
thirty days on the farm. You
should be glad that check was not
caShed. Next case"
