Marguerite Matzenauer, grand opera star, was in jail here today in default of $5,- ' 600 bail on charges of forgery. Glotzback was arrested on the re- quest of Portland, Ore., police. Mrs. | R. D. Inman, portland widow, com- | plained that he signed her name to & check for $5,000 and cashed it at a San Francisco bank five months ago. “I didn’t think she would go that ! far,” Glotzback sald. “It's an old case and I thought it had been set- tled some months ago." Mrs. Inman had employed Glotz-‘ back as a chauffeur after making a ! transcontinental trip, Glotzback left his job with Mrs. Inman and came to San Francisco where he has lived since February 19. Glotzback first became the sub- | ject of newspaper headlines in 1921 when as Mme. Matzenauer's chaut- | feur he was married to her in Carls- bad, Germany, after a courtship at Del Monte, Cal. After the wedding Mme.
