Taylor Now in Jail in Butler on Serious Charge. From Kansas City Post, August 30. . Forgery and obtaining money through an elaborate scheme to defraud is the charge against Newton L. Taylor, 1515 East Tenth street. He was arrested this afternoon at Tenth and Main streets by Detective Harry Ar- thur. At police headquarters Taylor was identified by J. B. Walton, vice president of the - Walton Trust Company of But- ler, Mo., as the man who had de- franded the company.out of $3,- 500 in 1914. “On February 1, 1914, an ad- vertisement appeared in a St. Louis paper saying that a loan of $3,500 was wanted on 160 acres of land in Cass county, Mo.,’’ said Mr. Walton. ‘*One of our agents answered the adver- tisement and found a man who said he was William P. Winn of Winchester, Ky. “He said he had a business deal on in St. Louis and wanted -the money at onee. He took our agent to the property and they drove over it together in a bug- gy. The deeds and _ papers showed that William P. Winn of Winchester, Ky., owned — the property which was worth $12,- 000. “At the time it was remarked that the deed was transferred to Winn many years ago. ““T look younger than Tam,’ the man explained. ‘I’m past 50 but I've taken good care of my- self.’ “We made the loan. We gave him $1,100 at the time and sent the 42,400 to Lexington, Ky. ‘It was not until the interest Decame due and was not paid that suspicion was aroused. The real William P. Winn, | who owned the property, was found and he knew nothing of the Joan.”’ With Walton at police head- quarters were two agents of the Trust Company, E. N. Ewin of Joplin and Dr. J. W. Choate of Butler, and they both identified Taylor as the man with whom they had dealings at the time the loan was made. Taylor denied he was,the man. He said he owned the property where _ he lives. rs Taylor was brought to Butler and placed in jail” and Tuesday was taken before Justice of the Peace, R. S.
