A Regular Crank in Ames Building Faces Custody
A 30 year old man named Harry L. Spring, visiting Boston from Chicago, was detained at police headquarters after attempting to solicit loans from Boston businesspeople in the Ames Building. He claimed a Chicago home at 105 Warren Avenue and produced bank passes, rail passes, and letters, including a loan request for charity and a romantic note to “My dear Helen.” He told inspectors he studied at Tufts Theological School and mused about becoming a poet while being evaluated for sanity.
