Confidence Man Tries to Deliver Ginger Ale As Liquor to Johnson Rosemont, Pa., April 23 P— Harry Harris, in jail on charges of fraud and obtaining under false pre- tenses in connection with the deliv- ery of seven cases of alleged liquor te the home of Alba B. Johnson, possibly does not read newspapers closely. Had he done so he would have known better than to pick out the former president of the Baldwin Lo- comotive Works as a purchaser of “a shipment from Holland.” Johnson, an ardent dry and prom- inent churchman, is now in Europe, but recently his views on prohibition enforcement were, set forth in the press under the headline: “Relaxing dry ‘law would shame U. S, says Alba B. Johnson.” XKnowing her employer’s view, his secretary, Miss Alice E. Claflin, was surprised when she received a pur- ported cablegram signed by John- son’s name, which read: “Made ar- rangements for shipment through to you from Holland. Han- dle this matter upon its arrival. Strictly confidential. Not more than ten at one hundred fifteen per. Will explain on my return.” Miss Claflin found the message to be a fake and turned it over to the Pennsylvania Chamber of Com- merce, of which Johnson is presi- dent, and a trap was set for the sender. Later, when he telephoned that he had seven cases for Mr. Johnson and that the price was $805, Miss Claflin directed that it be delivered to her employer's home. and after a maid had handed Har- ris $805 in marked bills he was ar- rested. The seven cases contained ginger ale. Harris was held in default of $5.- 000 at a hearing last night. He said the name was fictitious and re- tused to give his address.
