FOOLS THEM HERE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Mr. Leslie recognized the prisoner as Hull at once and the two recalled school day experiences. The doper denies that his name Is Hull and says that was the name of his stepfather. but Mr. Leslie and' E. M. Leslie and Dr. Hall, of Convoy, who have known the family for years, are confident that he is lying. “Hull plainly shows the lack of opium and he Is extremely nervous. In police court yesterday morning he was represented by Attorney Franklin A. Emrick, who entered a plea of not guilty for him and waived preliminary arraignment. The prisoner was not called to the stand. His hearing was set for October 25 and he was ordered taken to jail in dat'ault of S2OOO bond. Mrs. Youse and her daughter, ‘Warren’s’ wife, were not in court nor did either of them visit him at the jail during the day. “After police court, Chief Lenz questioned the fellow and Hull’s nerve, which had been held up from opium, broke and he confessed that he had no money, owned no land and had simply been lying as to his wealth. ‘You know how it is, chief, when you’re full of hop; you imagine that you own the earth. I told Beulah ail about it, but she understands that my acts were due to dope and she is going to stand by me until I’m cured.’ “A telegram last night from Toledo brought the information that there is no such institution there as the Nesbitt Loan & Trust company, in which Warren, or Hull, claimed to have deposited $5,480 which, he said, he had derived from the sale of a farm in Michigan. “Pennsylvania Patrolman James Jones, who arrested Hull and his bride at Valparaiso Monday, returnee! to that place yesterday and learned that the fellow had told three stories of fabulous wealth that enabled him ito cash checks and make purchase in Fort Wayne. “E. M. Leslie, cashier of the First National bank of Convoy, 0.. and brother of F. W. Leslie, cashier of the People’s Savings bank at Van Wert, where several of the alleged Warren’s checks had been presented was plainly outspoken yesterday in discussing the predicament of Hull, who has furnished Fort Wayne with its most sensational story in recent years. “‘I have known Perry Hull all his life. He has a reputation for being a notorious liar, and no one believed a word he said. He claims he is thirtythree years old. From my recollection of his boyhood, I should say he was nearer forty. As for his having any money, I don’t know how he got it. He never earned it, because he never worked. His people were as poor as church mice for years. His father died about twenty years ago and his mother was taken to the Van Wert county infirmary, where she died. “ ‘Perry Hull was considreed perfectly harmless. He was never arrested that I know of. and no one paid much attention to him when he lived down our way. The term “mentally deficient” best describes his condition, and that is the way he was regarded -by those with whom he spent his boyhood. I can’t remember of his ever ‘having a job. He Was a dreamer, with new schemes and hallucinations running through his head, which might have got him into trouble if he had not been so well known in that section. “ ‘I know that once he went to Lima, Ohio, and purchased between SSOO and S6OO worth of harness, etc. When the store found out with whom they were dealing the stuff was never shipped. He went to Van Wert on another occasion, and had qll the real estate men there giving him pleasure trips around the country to look at farms he wanted to buy. Another time he got the horse dealing fever and went to Decatur, where he partially contracted for several car loads of horses, which were all ready to be shipped when the deal was called off. “ ‘We never thought he was very bright, bpt the way he has kidded some folks into believing that he was the real thing in the millionaire line is remarkable.

“ ‘That story of his being a graduate of Valparaiso university and a mechanical engineer, with successful inventions bringing him in a stream of gold, is pure fabrication. He never attended college. In fact, he hasn’t much of an education, and is to be pitied that he carried things with such a high hand. This check busines is something he took up in recent years. 1 haven’t seen so much of him since he left Convoy about two years ago, but just as soon as we saw this story in the Journal-Gazette we had a suspicion that it was Perry Hull. A traveling man came throught about two weeks ago and told of meeting a boy raised in our home town who had made good with inventions and was immensely wealthy. When he described the chap who had told the salesman all about himself while on an interurban car, we knew right away that it was Perry Hull, with his drernn motor and fabulous riches, and

laughed, but we never thought he would carry his check operations with sucha.high hand. He never harmed anybody that 1 know of in Van Wert county or Convoy, and a great many feel sorry that he got into such a serious position. * “‘None of us suspected that he was a dope'fiend, but he is. all right, as he told me when he recognized me at police headquarters that he had contracted the opium habit. That must have been after he left Convoy.’ “Warren is undoubtedly Perry Commodore Hull, a native of this county,’ said Dr. Emerson Hall of Convoy, 0., over the telephone last evening. ‘While I have not. seen Hull for years, I am sure from the picture in this morning's paper that he is the fellow locked up there. “ ‘He is a son of the late Barney Hull and was born just across the road from my father’s home a little more than a mile south of Convoy. His mother was Mrs. Mary Friedline of near Monroeville, to whom his father, then a man of sixty-live years, was married shortly after the death of his first wife. As nearly as I can figure it Hull is about 35 years old, although he gives his age as 33.

“ ‘Hull’s father died when the boy was about three years old and the family moved away. I heard nothing from him for more than fifteen years, when, accompanied by his mother, he came back here. He ordered several teams to meet all freight trains, saying that he had a couple of cars of furniture coming in. He said that he had married Miss Kellogg, daughter of the breakfast food king, at Battle Creek, Mich., and that she had been drowned while they were on their wedding trip. She had left him an immense fortune, including several business buildings in Detroit, he said, and a house full of furniture. The expected shipment never arrived and

Hull disappeard. “ ‘Every one in Convoy looked upon the young fellow as a harmless sort of an imbecile, but no one at that time suspected that his dreams were due to dope. Maybe he didn't use it at that time but he had the same dreams of wealth. To my knowledge he has not been here for eighteen years.’ ” o MEN’S MEETING TONIGHT Immediately folowing the prayer meeting service tonight at the Methodist church there will be held a special meeting for men. Every man in- the city is urged and invited to come. The singing at the prayer service will be led by Mr. W. F. Beery.
