ARRESTED BIZ I
D|DN' 7 KNOW

Policeman Thomas English, vet
eran desk sergeant at the Detective
Bureau, today arrested Percy Cum
berland, 81, of the 500 block Of
Second st. s. W., so courteously
and quietly that the prisoner did
not know he was a prisoner for
almost half an hour.
While the rest Of the city was
sleeping English received a tele.
phone call from a man who wanted
to know II a warrant had been
issued for Percy Cumberland. After
a few moments conversation English
learned that he was talking to Cum
berland.
English knew that two detectives
were searching for Cumberland at
that very moment. But he told
Cumberland that if he would come
to the detective bureau he would
tell him in a very few moments
whether a warrant had been issued.
Shortly after o'clock Cumber'
land arrived at English's office.
English invited him in to sit down,
and they continued their converse
ton. When the two detectives re-
turned to the headquarters to rOr
port that they had been unable to
find Cumberland, who is charged
with the embezzlement of 1857, they
found his name on the arrest book.
The detectives broke the news 20
Cumberland that he was wanted to
answer a charge of embe zzlement.

Praises Press Aid
Lamar Poole, chief of Atlanta
detectives, today issued state
ment, praising the enterprise of the
Atlanta Georgian in hiring Pinker-
ton detectives to apprehend Carnes.
A student Pinkerton detective was
said to have traced Carnes on in
structions furnished by the st.
Paul office of the detective agency.
With Carnes safeley in Jail. Oh
ficials here today prepared to bring
him to trial early. Clifford Walker,
former governor of Georgia. has
been specially deputized to head the
prosecution. The penalty on en-
bezzlement charges, on wnlth
Carnes has been twice indicted. is
but two to seven years.
"The statutes provide a rather
short term for enbezzlement, put
there will be so many charges
against Carnes that he will be as
sured of a long term in prison,
Walker said.
Picked Wrong Place
"Carnes evidently made a mis-
take when he went to Canada
Walker added. Criminals are
spotted there and quickly apIre-
hended. The Winnipeg police did
great work.
A reward of $4,000 has been Of
fered by the United States Fidelity
and Casualty Company, which had
bonded Carnes for $4,000. Smaller
rewards have been offered by the
Southern Baptist Home Mission
Board, which Carnes served as
treasurer for nine years. and by
the governor and solicitor general
OF Georgia.
shortly after Carnes disappeared,
II was revealed to astounded
church.goers that Carnes had served
two terms in prison for fraudulent
use of the mails. So clever was
Carnes that even the bonding com.
panv had failed to discover this
shady record in his past.
Then came the revelation that the
shortage in his books would amount
TO 81 900, 900 and day by day new
revelations We're made, showing the
wide ramifications of his operations.
He owned real estate concern III
Atlanta, a $4,000 Italian villa i.ere,
a brick plant in North Carolina:
and a factory to make automatic
carlocks in Chattanooga.
Financed Movie Girls
He also financed the movie ambi,
tions of two girls in Hollywood,
Miss Lois Griffin and Miss Sonia
Merida, and paid a monthly sum TO
an Atlanta woman, Mrs. Louise
pope, TO act as their manager.
Former friends here who knew
(,arnes when he served as treasurer
of the home mission board with
absolute powers, and with unlimited
authority to borrow money any
where at any time pointed out
that II was his business instinct"
that resulted in his capture.
Dispatches from Winnipeg told
how Carnes had planned to launch
a breakfast food company. Wher.

circumstances. he wanted to handle
money and business. Had he fled

The sending of the letter to Mrs.
Lyons was a mistake on the part
OF the Republican managers in Vir-
ginta, even apart from its appeal
to religious prejudice.
Mrs. Lyon is not q Republican
and has never been one, she said
today. Her name was included in
a published list of G. o. P. women
in Arlington County some time ago,
and in some way the report gained
currency that she had been named
Republican vice chairman of her
precinct.

"I am not a Republican" Mrs.
Lyons declares. ~''If anything could
convince me that I should vote for
AL Smith this letter will do it,
Mrs. Lyons expressed the belief
that. due to the fact that she has
been prominent in club and civic
activities in Virginia Highlands, the
Republicans were trying to obtain
the voting strength taht would come
from her influence with the women
Of Arlington county.
When confronted with her letter,
Mrs. Caldwell would not admit that
she was responsible for the entire
