Medical Student Arrested as Swindler
Hugh W. Timothy Taken on Mis
use of Mails Charge After
Street Chase by Banker,
Hugh W. Timothy, 23 years old.
the son of a wealthy Chattanooga
department store owner and known
in Atlanta society circles, was arrest
ed Monday by Harry Scott, of the
Pinkertons, an suspicion of having
used the mails in a swindling scheme
which is said to have already netted
young Timothy more than $1,250 since
he started operations in March.
Timothy’s plan, according to Scott
and the postal inspectors, was to ad
vertise that he was in a position to
fit applicants for jobs as porters with
the Pullman Oar Company.
The Government representatives
charge that Timothy, who is a medi
cal student in this city, inserted ad
vertisements in the Atlanta papers,
presenting himself to be W. E. Po-
liere, superintendent of the Pullman
service instruction department of the
Pullman Company.
They say that the advertisements
directed those who responded to ad
dress their replies to Box 804 at the
local postofTice. The applicants were
sent a form letter which told them,
it is said, that Mr. Poliere would be
very glad to mail them a set of print
ed instructions which would fully
prepare them for service as porters
with the Pullman people. This set
would cost $5, but if for any reason
they failed to pass in their examina
tion, the money willingly would be
refunded to them.
Many Victims, Say Inspectors.
There were many victims, the pos
tal inspectors assert. Complaints
came not only from Atlanta, but from
cities far removed. Two hundred and
fifty are said to have bitten at the
bait. One of the postal inspectors
notified Timothy that complaints had
been received and that he would have
to cease getting mail at the local
otfice.
The inspector later went on his va
cation. When he returned he found
his desk covered with a fresh batch of
complaints from would-be porters on
Pullman cars. Timothy, according to
the inspector, had observed the order
in regard to relinquishing his box at
the post office, but was having all the
mail sent to the newspaper offices
where he called for it regularly. He
is said to have cashed all the money
orders and checks through the Cen-
tral Bank and Trust Corporation,
where he had an account under his
fictitious name.
Assistant Cashier King had been
informed of Timothy’s alleged opera
tions. and Monday morning when the
young medical student entered to
cash a check for $15 King glanced at
him keenly and then shouted: “We
want you. young man,” starting aft
er Timothy, who bolted for the door.
Cashier Gives Chase.
Pedestrians near the handler Build
ing were startled as Timothy dashed
from the door with King, hatless and
coastless, in full pursuit.
It happened that Harry Scott,
whose agency had baen employed on
the ca®e. was shadowing Timothy on
his trip to the bank. Scott was wait
ing outside.
When Timothy ram out of the bank
he almost leaped into the arms of the
astonished Scott.
“That’s one of the easiest arrests I
ever made.” said Scott, when he had
regained his composure.
The prisoner was taken to the office
of United States Postal Inspector
Robert E. Barry and his father in
Chattanooga was notified of his
plight. Timothy was interrogated
closely in regard to his alleged opera
tions and his hearing was set for
Monday afternoon before United
States Commissioner W. Colquitt Car
ter.
