FAKE DETECTIVE DUPES ‘WILLIE’ Kentucky Lad Pays $5 to Es cape Jail ‘for Nothing SPRINGFIELD, IIL, May 7.—Folks, meet “Willie’’ Gross of Russell county, Kentucky. Although little Willie Is IS years old he never saw a policeman, or rather a detective, until he came to the great cap ital of Illinois. And then his first experience with the detective was not what you might call real. As he sauntered up the street with his six feet and two inches he was ap proached by two pompous appearing persons of the male sex. “You’re under arrest,” they told Willie, who groaned In surprise as the men hacked him Into a door. One displayed a tin shield like regu lar officers wear. The other hiked down the street. JFhile he was gone tie one with the star got confident to William. “Aw, say,” he said, “I don’t like to do this. I wouldn’t either if ” Well, Willie greased his palm with a five-spot note and was free. But when he got* away he didn’t like It a bit, so he decided to go down to the jail and see what it was they had against him. “Nothing.” they told him. Then Willie explained bo had never seen a deteeotive before. Now Willie is mad all over and be and the police are looking for the “moonshine runners." f As Utile X / Down as \ i s2*oo i \ On $30.00 J Just say "Charge It,” fllte will gladly open a charge account, you may pay for your apparel while wearing it.
