Timlin, ol Flllccnllt Street, Ar- rested Last Evening at the Instance ot Mrs. William Ellington. liast evening J. J. Timlin, of Fif teenth street, was charged beforo Al derman J3Ialr by Mrs. "William Edlntf ton, of South Hydo Park nvenue, with extortion and false pretense. It KeemB that the International Frater nal Alliance, hailing from Jlaltimoro, onco did buslnesa In the Insurance Held In this atatc. but the company lost Its standing In March of 1896 according1 to tho exactions of the iitato Insuranco law. This fact. It seema, did not deter Timlin from writing out a policy on tho life of Mrs. Susanna Reese, mother of Mrs. Bdlnpton, This policy was dated May 25, 1896, and upon It Mrs. Edlngton had paid seven monthly premiums, for which she had Mr. Timlin's receipt. Hearing some time ago that the com pany waa not safe, Mrs. Rdlngtorv wroto the homo office and wan an swered to the effect that tho company was not and had not been represented by these agents and she was referred to P. J, Vottcr for further Information. Her discoveries led her to demand a refunding of tho paid out premiums, amounting to 128.08, and Timlin re turned her $20, but then demanded liome of it back, claiming that ha had not received all that was duo on his receipts. His reason for thts peculiar state of nffalra was that Lewis P. Williams had ngrced upon some unknown condition to advanco a part of tho premium each ttmo and that Timlin should give Mrs. Kdlngttm a receipt In full, though only receiving one-half from her. Tho alderman held the defendant In tho sum of $500 ball, and he, falling to secure tho amount, was committed late In the evening to the county Jail. CLUB PRACTICALLY DISBANDED.
