U.S. Freak Golfer On Amazing Charge.
ALLEGED HOLD-UP
JOHN MONTAGUE, of Hollywood, the “freak”
golfer, has been arrested in Los Angeles on a New York warrant on a seven-year-old charge of robbery.
Police at Malone, New York State, said the "mystery man" was really Laverne Moore, who, in 1930, with three others, is alleged to have held up a tavern and stolen £150. John Montague was reported last month to have entered for the British Open Golf Championship at Carnoustic, but he did not come over to take part in the competition.
When the news was broken to the American golfers at! Carnoustie it created a terrific sensation.
The police at Los Angeles, according to the United Press, say that Montague admits that he was Moore, and they sny that his finger-prints are the same as Moore's.
Montague is being detained in Los Angeles for transfer to New York.

A reporter spoke over the Atlantic telephone to aspector Lynch, of the New York State Police.
"We have never let up on the case since the robbery seven years ago," he said.
