Remarkable Case of Mistaken Identity in Cleveland
A man thought to be William Boyle, alleged to have defrauded the Catholic Benevolent Legion of $3000, was arrested in Cleveland and held for identification. Calamitous confusion arose when E M Cameron of the Hunger Portrait company, bearing a striking likeness to Boyle, was mistaken for the culprit. Cameron had resided in Cleveland 15 years and matched Boyle’s line of work, sparking a sensational mis identification that baffled investigators.
