CHARGES IN HOLLYWOOD. TRIAL FOR HOLD-UP. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright LOS ANGELES, August 13. “ i was a golf caddy at the age of 10 at Clayton, an exclusive course in New York State," John Montague, Hollywood's mystery golfer, told tlie Sydney Daily Telegraph. Alleged by police to be identical with Laverne Moore, who is wanted for a roadhouse hold-up in New Y’ork State seven years ago, Montague is now awaiting extradition to stand trial. " I began life without many advantages, and I had to fend for myself.” Montague continued. “ Now my life is golf . I live by it. and it has brought me my friends. Since this trouble loomed up, all sorts of famous people have aided me'. I have a crowd of loyal and wonderful friends. ** I trained with a crack baseball team, and 1 was going to sign up with them, but I got in with pals who were ‘ doing some business,’ and I was fool enough to Join them. That finally landed me. in trouble seven years ago. “ Tournament golf is my next step after this trouble is settled. I have friends in England who want me to play there. " I am not terribly perturbed about the hold-up charge I have to face. This is not the end of John M ml igue by a long chalk."
