FULL TEXT: Accused of having since February last cashed the
monthly allotment checks for $30 each of W. R. Jones, a warrant machinist of
the Navy Aviation Service, and of Otto Becker, a corporal of the 302nd Supply
Train, a young woman was yesterday arraigned before United States Commissioner
S. M. Hitchcock.
The complaint was made by Frederick Masher, a member of the
Intelligence Police. He alleges that the woman, known as Florence A. J. Becker,
wife of the army corporal, defrauded the Government by cashing allotment checks
as the wife of Warrant Machinist Jones.
Pending a hearing the accused was paroled.
