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.
