THE FATHER SETTLED IT UP

Officers Learn Identity of the Smooth Rascals

WHO WORKED MERCHANTS

The Two Fuller Boys Were The Ones who Flim-flammed Lindenschmitt & Apfel

Some good detective work was done on the Lindenschmitt & Apfel case and that firm received the amount of the goods, the father putting up the cash rather than to have a warrant hanging over the two sons who played their smooth game, but assuming the names of bona fide students and getting credit at the store.

The guilty ones were Ernest and Jay Fuller, of Detroit, who have been here as students. Ernest was in the literary department and Jay in the high school.

After getting the goods last week the young men went to Detroit and attended a dance, but did not go to their father's home. Instead they wrote him a letter stating that they were going abroad and would eventually go to South Africa.

Among their effects were some keys which the father sent back to this city. One of these keys was the one given the young man who gave the name of "Brown" when he rented the room on Monroe street.

Upon this clue the officers worked and Mr. Corbett, of Lindenschmitt &  Apfel's, then remembered that 'Brown" had once been pointed out to him as "Fuller."

The officers went to Detroit Monday to look the young man up. Mr. Fuller, the father, settled for the goods and no warrant will be sworn out for the young men.
