Peter McCulloch, proprietor of the Boston restaurant, was arrested Monday on a charge of obtaining goods on false pretenses, preferred by Melvin Bros. The latter use the Ideal coupon book, of $5, $10, and $1.50 denominations, and McCulloch has been using them for a year or more. The unusual number of coupons turned in by McCulloch of late aroused their suspicions and the last coupon book sold to the restaurant had a private mark upon it. Since the first of the month McCulloch has purchased $63 worth of meat, all of which was paid for in coupons, but only $8 worth of the coupons with the private mark upon them had been turned in. McCulloch had simply bought coupons of the company manufacturing them and turned them in on his meat bill. How long they have been victimized in this manner or for what amount Melvin Bros, have not as yet ascertained, but they estimate that the amount lost by them will be in the neighborhood of $5,000. McCulloch was released on bonds, but yesterday his bondsmen turned him over to the sheriff and he now lies in the county jail.
