genuine open-handed hospitality

Benefit of Band.
The North Dalton brass band
will give an ice cream festival and
concert up there Saturday night
for the benefit and maintenance of
the band. Let everybody who can

hall rent, etc. Dalton should
never be without a band and now
that we have one, it should be en
couraged and kept up. It won’t
be but HP days until the County
Fair opens and we will need
music two days then. The best
of order will be kept.

Atlanta, Ga., August 24.—J. T.
Laney, alias A. P. Standish, 16
years old, formerly receiving clerk
in the office of the Western Union
Telegraph Co , in Dallas, Texas,
was arrested at the Aragon hotel
at 5 o’clock Wednesday morning
by Officers Arthur and Gallagher
on a telegram from the company
in Dallas.
Though the telegram specified
no charges, young Laney virtually
admitted later that he and a con
federate, whose name he gave as
Black, alias Edmund Seaborn, had
stolen $11,000 from the Western
Union on bogus telegrams.
Laney’s arrest was caused by a
telegram he sent to a voung wo
man in Dallas, as follows:
“Tin drunk, as usual. Wire
Standish. ‘The Kid.’ ”
Laney, or Standish, is now be
ing held at police headquarters
awaiting instructions from Dallas
According to the story told by
Laney, he has relatives both
Atlanta and Augusta, having lived
with his family in the latter city
for a number of years. His fath
er is now chief operator for the
Western Union in Dallas.
Laney virtually admitted that
as receiving clerk he sent bogus
telegrams for money to a confed
erate who traveled from city to
city. Finally, about a month ago,
Laney was forced to leave Dallas,
and he and his confederate trav
eled all over the country, living
royally on the spoils ef the bogus
telegrams. They spent several
days at the fair in St. Louis,
where Laney narrowly escaped
arrest. They went from there to
Kansas City, to Baltimore and
ather points, separating finally.
Laney arrived in Atlanta early
Tuesday morning.
Pacing restlessly back and forth
in his cell, and,smoking Turkish
cigarettes nervously, young La-
-ney told a full story of his arrest,
his travels, the amount of money
he spent, the diamonds he bought,
the ruses he practiced on detec
tives; and throughout his only
fear seemed to be that the officers
would not allow him go back to
Texas in a Pullman. He said
that he had practically decided to
give himself up today, his money
having given out.
Laney is sixteen years old, slen
der, smooth-complexioned, and
has clear gray eyes. He shows
no appearance of having led a
rather fast life for the past month,
when he avers he and his friend
Black, who he says formerly lived
in Atlanta, spent sometimes
much as $500 a day. He was
dressed in a light serge suit and a
straw hat. He wore fancy hosiery
and patent leather oxfords.
There were several contradie
tioii8 in his story, but he talked
quite freely.
“Yes,” he admitted, “I was
formerly receiving clerk for the
Western Union in Dallas,
handled no money , so, of course,
it was necessary to have a confed
erate. The idea was to wire
money to him when no money
had been deposited at the office.
He would collect it, and later we
would meet and id vide up. That,
of course, is what the Western
Union will claim was our scheme.
I don’t admit it, however.
“I don’t think we spent over
$3000. My friend has the rest—
about $8,000—but he is not here
in this city. I could put m}’ hands
on him tomorrow, but I don’t care
to give him away. He has most
of the money, however. I have
about $12 and the experience.
“ But say, we had a great time
I had two diamonds each as bigas
the end of your finger. I saw the
fair in St. Louis every day. While
there a man called on me. He
said: ‘Kid, you seem to have a
lot of money, let’s get a drink.’
I told him a friend was waiting
for me downstairs. I got my grip
and left town, failing to keep my
appointment. I smelled a rat
the fellow was a detective.
“I am not exactly clear about
where I have been for the past
month. Sometimes we spent as
much as $500 a day, and we kept
pretty hazy most of the time. We
went to Baltimore, however, and
put up at the best hotel there.
Finally we separated, and I came
to Atlanta.
Say, I never would have been
arrested, except that I had a
pretty hot time last night, and
was fool enough to wire a woman.
The officers caught on, and woke
me up at 6 o’clock this morning.
“Does an officer have t to pay
money for a prisoner at every
state line when he is taking him
back home? I guess they will
give me a berth in a Pullman. I
should hate to travel on a day
coach—it would be such a come
down from what I have been used
to lately.
“Still I have no fear. I have a
good friend in Dallas, who is a
lawyer. He will clear me. In
the meantime, of course, I am not
giving out any statement.”
