BILL DOAN DRESSED WELL
Charged With Obtaining Suit Under False Pretenses
[Welland Tribune, 17 September 1909]
Wm. Doan of Welland, a son of Ben Doan, fisherman, who used to inhabit these parts, has been charged with obtaining one of G.A. Porter’s $25 suits under false pretenses.
It is said that Mr. Doan was behind a great amount in his grocery bill last August and gave his grocer an order on the steel plant for his wages until October 6th. In the meantime Mr. Doan’s destiny became separated from the plant where they make iron and steel, and G.A. Porter, the well-known clothier, attired Mr. Doan in a brand new suit and accepted an order on the steel plant in payment of the same.
Mr. Porter, however, is not, in business for his health, and the long green looks good to him. In due time an information was laid against Mr. Doan and a summons issued, but Mr. Doan has not put in an appearance. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but Mr. Doan could not be found. If he is living in town his abode is not in the most conspicuous place.
