"Winnie” Loveday Accused by
Police of Being Society
“Raffles”
BETTER THAN FICTION
Wins Beautiful Bride, Starts on Wed

Stand by Him.
^ Chicago.—The knightly and roman
tic crook stealing hearts as easily as
he steals the family jewels abounds in
fiction and upon the moving picture
screen.
But little is seen of him in real life.
Veteran police reporters have long
sought him in vain.
But—at last an unusual type appears
in the police records. Earl Winfield
Loveday is his name. In a vague way
he suggests the “Raffles” and “Arsene
Lupin” of fiction. Although only twen
ty-six years of age, he has lived sev
eral existences. To his friends in
the upper stratum he is known as
Earl Loveday, formerly a popular mem
ber of Kenwood’s younger set.
To the police he is known as “Win
nie” Loveday, “the greatest safeblower
that has appeared In the underworld
for twenty years,” He is in custody
to-day after a seven months’ search
on charges of being the leader of the
bind of three men who blew the
powerful vault of the American Brass
company in Kenosha, stole $30,000 in
cash and Liberty bonds and shot to
death Policeman Tony Singapore in
the “get-away.”
Seized cn Honeymoon.
But there is yet another chapter. It
concerns Loveday’s vain reformation,
his wooing of little Carrie O’Neal,
eighteen-year-old school teacher of
Clearwater, Fla., a simple wedding in
a little church at St. Petersburg, Fla.,
and the denouement and arrest while
the honeymoon was still shining.
The story was gathered from “Billy”
Pinkerton, chief of the Pinkerton Na
tional Detective agency.
“Loveday is one of the most remark
able criminals I have met,” said the
veteran Pinkerton. “His technical
ability would have won him a reputa
tion and money in legitimate business.
His uncanny mastery of safes and
vaults is startling.
“After the Kenosha job he maneu
vered his way down to Tampa, Fla.

* “Hello, Loveday,” Steele Said.
There he lived at the best hotel and
won friends by his personality and his
danhjfrg. Then he purchased an or
ange grove in Clearwater. He was
living under the name of George R.
Scott.
Wedding Is Brilliant.
“Then Carrie O’Neal, school-teach
er and daughter of a neighboring farm
er, came into his life. Immediately
Loveday ‘fell.’ He wrote his friends
that Earl Loveday was dead. That
henceforth he was George R. Scott,
farmer. All Clearwater folks attend
ed the wedding in St. Petersburg, and
beamed their happiness.
“Then Loveday started to take his
wife for a trip to California. But we
were closing in on him. At Hot
■ Springs, where Loveday stopped to
i wind up entirely his connection with
; his old friends, we caught up with him.
I J. C. Steele of our St. Louis office went
to make the arrest. Police were ready
to assist him. Earl and the girl wife
were sighted on the street. With
h&nds on their guns the police ad
vanced. They were ready for a fight.
‘H "o, Loveday,’ Steele said.
ut Earl pulled no gun. He just
smiled wearily and took the girl’s
hands in his. She didn’t know what
to make of it. But I suppose that,
womanlike, she understood.
“ ‘You’d better go home to your
folks,’ said Earl.
“ ‘No,’ she said, after a little thought,
‘I’m going with you.’ #
“And, by George„; she did,” con
cluded Pinkerton. “She came through
here with him, and she’s going to stand
by him. But we’ve got Loveday this
time. It’s the long trail for him.”

Reputed to Be Miser With Vast !
Hoard Hidden in Her

Several Persons Arrested on Sus

to See Her Alive.
Hoopeston. III.—Although they lived
within a few blocks of each other on
the ouskirts of this town, Mrs. Mary
Buhler visited, her mother, Mrs. Sa
bina Cummings, only once a week—on
Sunday, after church.
Mrs. Cummings was noted in the
section for her desire for solitude,
which even her daughter could not
invade.
When the daughter called at noon
one day recently she found the front
door open. This had not occurred in
the eight years since her father’s
death. She saw also a light in the
sitting room.
She entered and found the body of
her mother lying on a lounge. The
old woman was dead. The body was
covered with blood. The head had
been caved in by a heavy blow. The
room was in great disorder.
Thought to Have Hoard.
Mrs. Cummings, who was eighty
two, was reputed to he the miser of
Hoopeston, and her little two-story
frame house, which she owned, was
known as the “golden house.” Natives
frequently pointed it out to visitors
with the remark :
“The old lady has got thousands and
thousands of dollars hidden there.”
It became a town tradition.
When the husband of the aged wom
an died eight years ago a search of
the house was made. In out-of-the
way places more than $18,000 in cash
was found.
Subsequently the rumor spread that
this was but a tithe of the wealth of
Mrs. Cummings. Not even her daugh
ter could tell how much money was
in the house.
The authorities had warned Mrs.
Cummings to put her money in bank.
They told her the rather isolated situ

ation of her house, her own feebleness
and her reputed wealth would prove
a temptation which in time might re
sult in tragedy.
She refused all counsel and asked
to be let alone.
Last Seen by Son-in-Leiw.
She was seen alive, last at 5 :30 on a
Saturday afternoon by her son-in-law,
Fred Buhler.
1'hat night, between eight and ten
o’clock, neighbors tell of seeing two
men cross the fields and make for the
house. In the course of the evening
the same two men were seen to drive
away in an automobile.
Nobody saw them enter the house.
The place was found to be thor
oughly ransacked. Not an article of
furniture had been left untouched.
Tin boxes had been found opened and
their contents strewn about the rooms.
Papers were thrown about, pictures
smashed.jn an effort to locate money
behind them.
The police believe that about $10,000
In loot was secured by the woman’s
slayer. Several persons have been ar
rested on suspicion, including the son
in-law of the dead woman, who, it is
said, was the last person to see her
alive.
While nothing definite is known as
to what the company will do in the
matter, it is understood that one of
the vessels on the Southeastern Alaska
run will make Hyder. Mr. Wood is
optimistic about the outlook in Alaska
this year. He says that after having
made a quite thorough survey of con
ditions in Southeastern Alaska and
out to the westward he is certain there
will be more business in the territory
this year than in any of the years
past.
ESKIMO PAYS NO TAX—
BUT WHO’D BE AN ESKIMO?
“The Eskimo does not have to pay
m income tax, but who wants to be
in Eskimo?” asks the internal rev
enue bureau.
However, though not wishin gto ex
change places with the Eskimo, the
average American taxpayer has no
lankering to pay Uncle Sam more
;han is due him.
To these it will be of interest to
learn that there are several exemp
tions and many deductible items on
which income tax does not have to be
paid. Expert advice may be needed
m this matter. If you need such ad
rice come to the Tribune’s income tax
bureau, where assistance is freely at
pour service.
During the first three weeks of the
filing period, which ended last Satur
day, the Tribune’s bureau gave out
about 24,000 schedules. The bureau
will be open at 9 o’clock this morning
and the experts will be glad to answer
all questions and help you file your
return.
All returns must be filed before

day except Saturday, when it closes at
