This innocent looking advertisement
in the Times led to the arrest of William
Houghton, alias Wilson Hulton,
at the National Hotel yesterday afternoon
on the charge of swindling Miss
Fannie Hopkins, Denver, out of $200
last month, by means of a similarly
alluring advertisement in the Denver
papers.
"Boxed" Summaries. To give greater prominence
to interesting statistics, summaries, excerpts, and lists
than is possible in the lead, these facts are often put
before the regular lead, usually surrounded by a frame
or "box," and printed in black face type. Although
this arrangement is determined by the editors and copy
readers, the reporter may select and group significant
facts in such a way that those who edit his copy can
readily mark them to be "boxed" and set in the desired
kind of type. Lists of dead and injured in accidents;
telling statements from speeches, reports, or testimony;
statistics of interest; summaries of facts; and brief histories
of events connected with the news story at hand,
are frequently treated in this way. If not placed before
the lead, these "boxed" facts are put at a convenient
place in the body of the story. Brief bulletins, likewise,
containing the latest news are often "boxed" and set
in heavier type.
