13 A RICH HAUL. Al A :.;“‘] [owa C-‘p":i}:.\! ha Batk, orcha Cashed by a He Escapss With Several Hun- dred Dellars in Cold Cash, The Slickest Confidence Game Played in the City for Years, Fonr Dete es and the Police ¥all to Overtake Him This Side the Kiver. Somo pretty fine confidence games have been played in Omaha during the past fow years but for one of pure and unadulterated cheek that perpetrat- od yesterday on one of our leading busi ness men and an Omaha bank carried oft the broom. On the 30th of November, a man camo to the Millard hotel and reglstered under the assumed name of C. K. Faller, representing himself to be the president of the Des Moines Loan and Trust Co, He was in and about some of our most prominent business housos, visited the banks and was to be seen at all public places a stranger of means would be 1tke- Iyto t. THE MAN APP] NCR whs that of a perfect gentleman, affable, courtoous and cultivated, in fact such ss to inepire one with involuntary respect. Oue day shortly aftor his arvival he visit- od the jewelry store of C. 5. Raymond, Fifteench and Douglas, and asked to sse a cortain watch (he had no doubt looked at it before in the case), and eaid to Mer, “Raymond: I think you have just such a watch as I want to buy.” He then ox- plained that he was Mt Faller, presi- dent, etc, and gave Mr. Ray- mond Ms card bearing cut his nosertion. The stranger went on to say that ho wanted to make his old iather a Christmas present of a watch and this one just suited him. He was told that it was a Swiss watch but a Swies watoh was exactly the thing. He acked that it be laid aside and said that ho was about to leave for Des Moines but thet the jeweller would hear from him ina few days. Sure enough, the mail a few days later brought a letter boaritg the lithographed letter head of the Des Moines Loan and Trust Co,, and signed by its president, saying that the writer WOULD TAKE THE WATCH and would be in Omaha again in a few i him, f not known, o disappeared in"good o is reported to have gono east on the Burlington tr that matter is not certain. Atany rate the detoctives who watched the trsina at the depot raw nothing of him and Mr. Jrown, who croseed the river did not catch sight of him. THE HEAVIEST LOSER is tho McCague bank, as it is claimed that although the check was genuino, they were under obligations to identify the man before paying it, especially as the snme was drawn on another bank. Mr. Raymond’s caution saved him the exact amount they lost. Taken altogether, it was ono of the shrewdest pieces of rascality that has been reported for sometime and could only have been csrrled out by an expert. There was nothing in the man’s appear- ance to indicate that he was not all he ropresented, and his polite, accommodat- ing way of meeting all evidences of sus- picion helped him through. It will give the detectives and officors a chance now to get in their work and bring to justice a man who has created the greatest sen- sation in this line Omaha has yet had, — — —In the district court this morning, the Behm case was continned until Monday, the continuazce being taken by the prosecution on sccountlof one of the prosecnting witnesses be- ing 1llat Sioux Falls, Onoof Mr. Behm's hildren is also reported to be quite sick, Rt e et The Annual Convoc Tho eightsenth annual ocation of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons n lest dvening 1o this city by a re- ception tendored tho Girand Uhapter by Omaba Chapter No, 1.

Yesterdsy morning the alleged Fuller appeared at Raymond’s, was as suave as ever and said;he wes now reacy to take the watch. He then stated tha. he was going to make his wife as nice present also and requested to be fhown some jewelry. Of course his derire was complfed with, and after some inspec- tion several articles were selected and purchased, the amount footing up in all about £0600. However, Mr. Raymond had met confidence men before, and all the suavity of the visitor did not disarm his suepicions, and as it was dinner time he invited his customer to go to dinner with him, “Certainly,” was the reply. “Ldine at the Millard,” said Mr. Ray- mond. ‘‘Ah, I am stopping there my- eelf,” said the bogus president, and the two went to the hotel together. As they entered the ofice the clerk at the desk looked up and said: *'GOOD MORNING, MR, FULLER,” This rather raised the identity of the man in Mr. Raymond’s opinion and the two went up to the dining room, where the latter found occasion to excuse him- self amoment and going down stairs in- quired of the cierk 1f he knew Mr. Ful. ler. The clerk said he did. “But are you sure it is the Fuller that is president of the Des Moines Loan and I'rust com- pany!” *‘I am not sure but that is what he represents himself to be. He has been stopping here and has always paid his bills and appeared to be all right.” After this nothing was too good for the guest and he was wined and dined to his heart's content, after which the two returned to the store. The purchaser, after having his goods done up in a neat package, said he was noc sure whether he should lewve for home ou the after- noon irain or not until to-day, and he thought he would have the package de- posited in the Millard safe, Mr. Ray- mond eaid that he had & better safe than the Millard and it would be just as well to put the stuff there, AS SUAVELY AS EVER 3 the visitor waved his hand and said, “‘Why, of course.” He then said that he hid not suflicient money to pay the bill, %0600, with, as he did not usually carry s0 much about with him but drew from his pocket a lithographed check, exactly corresponding with the letter head pre- viously received. The check was filled out for one thousaud dollars and duly elgned and Mr. Ray- mond taking it proceeded to to fill out his chock on the United States National bank for the $100 balance. The stranger asked him if he could not mako his check payable to bearer. Mr, Raymond said he never made out hi checks that way and the customer, blandly as ever said, *Oh, very well. Taking the check the alleged Fuller left the atore, and as scon he was out of sight Mr. Raymond rushed down to the United Statas bank and ordered them not to honor it until he returned He then went to the telegraph office and sent a message to Mr. Fuller at Des Moines. A reply was promptly wired back by Mr, Fuller himeelf saying that he was at home and that this man was AN IMPOSTER That settled it, and the jeweller hastened to give notice at other banks, including that of John L, McCague & Co., on Farnam atreet, There found that the stranger was ahead of him and that he had presentrd the check and it nad been cashed, 1t is said, though not from the bauk,that the man had been making small deposits there for a fow days under the name of Fuller, drawing money out from time to time as he needed it, and of courae his identy was not questloned, especially as tho oheck was signed by so responsible namy, The next thing in order was to corral the con, man, and three or four detactives were at once put on his track. Ths next thing heard of him, however, was that he had since this daringand successful job, succeeded in DOING UF VICTIM Noy 2. This was Mr, SBam Burns, the Chml‘ quecnsware mad, Mr, Burns declined bottom prices. mde —— Mrs, Foddie, the victim of tho Sixteenth street saloon riot, is still very ill. The Griffin boys and the remainder of the gang are still at lurge. —— Reuben R, Springer's Death, CiNoiNNaT, December 10.—-Reuben R, Springer, died this morning. He was widely known for the magnificent gift to the public in the form of the music hall, exposition build- ings and college of music to which he has con- tributed in the past nine yesrs about $300,000. He was eighty-four years old and his last ill- ness was of short duration. Springerwas sliehtly indisposed on Sunday Iast while attending service at the cathedral, but wasup yesterday and had breakfast this morning. He died in his chair, from paral- yis of the heart., The executors declino to speak about the terms of his will at present, but a gentleman courts in thia city for years past, was a fine of 810 and costs centenced to p and serve ten days In the county jail on a chargo of drunk and disorderly. James McGreggor, a finelocking young white man, who is recognized by the po- lico as her “friend,” was given the samo sentence by Judge Bencke. S, L. Studley was last night jailed by Ofticer Jasperson on & charge of drunk and disorderly. On last Tuesday, it s eaid, his wife obtained a divorce from him, and last night he went to her resi- dence on Twentioth and Grace and not being able to do as he liked, he struck her and was run in by the police. James Wallace, or “Drunken Nick,” was taken to the police station by Officor Bollamy last night, after ho had appro- priated to his own uso the proceeds of a lot of linen found on a clothes line in his immedlate neighborhood.

The defendant ap- pealed to the district court, his father, Barnoy Shaunon, and Charles Gruenig signing his bond for $200. In theap- pellato tribunal the defendant was found quilty and waa given the same zentence as in’ the court below. ung Shannon served out his term of ten days in the county jail and was reloased, his fine and costs remsining unpaid. This suit was brought by the state to recover these sums from his bondsmmen. Judge yosterday disminsed the case without prc- judice, holding that it was not brought by the proper parties plaintiff, or of the decision was that as tho state sccured no part of the judgment it was not tho party in interest and therefore canld not recover. Another ground of this decision was that as the condition of the bond was that he appear at the next term of the distaict court and he did so appear its requiremonts were fulilled and the bond could not be forfeited.
