$70 Suit Pays Off Deal
Made 50 Years Ago
CHICAGO, UPC-The $70 suit
Alfred F. Arndt, 63, got from
clothier Max Hyman sealed a
bargain they had made 50 years
ago.
Arndt, as a youth of 18, had
complained to Hyman for charg
ing him $15 for a suit back in
1904.
“Come back in 50 years and
I’ll give you one free,” Hyman
told him.
Arndt, one of Hyman’s steady
customers, was at the store last
week to hold Hyman to his bar
gain. Hyman, now in his 80s,
remembered and invited Arndt to
pick out a $70 suit for free.
“It would have been $20 in
1904,” Arndt told Hyman.
“Come back in 50 years and
we’ll do it again,” Hyman told his
favorite customer.

TOLEDO, Ohio, UP—Columbus
Howard Bennett worked hard as
a house painter during his past 18
years as a Toledo resident.
His wife said the slight, gray
haired man was a fine husband
and a wonderful father to their
seven children.
The 59-year-old painter’s Only
recorded scrape with the law was
a traffic summons for having no
muffler on his automobile.
But last March 25, Bennett’s
14-year-old son admired a $15
toy fire engine. That started the
painter’s world crumbling, and
last night his world fell apart.
Police say the man—known to
his family and neighbors only as
Bennett—is really Christopher
Columbus Howard Hiar, who es
caped from the Texas prison in
1936, and that he had successfully
deceived his family about his past.
In tears, Bennett was quoted as
telling police:
“I swore to myself I never
would do anything to disgrace my
wonderful wife and children. And
now it all came tumbling down.”
Bennett first came to the atten
tion of authorities two weeks ago.
He was out driving with one of
his sons. While Bennett was get
ting water for his car’s radiator,
the boy noticed the toy red fire
engine on a sidewalk nearby. A
man poked his head out of a house
and yelled that the boy was steal
ing the engine.
The boy dropped the toy and
ran to the car. Bennett drove off,
but the angered man took down
his license number and notified
police about what he though was
an attempted theft.
Detectives called at Bennett’s
home, and after questioning the
father and son, booked Bennett on
a charge of contributing to the
delinquency of a minor.
Police recorded and circulated
Bennett’s fingerprints as a matter
of routine. Last night, they re
ceived a telegram from Texas
authorities describing Bennett’s
prints as those of Hiar, who was
given the life sentence after a
series of burglaries.
