FALKS GIGANTIC FRAUDS.
A Swedish Swindler Eelipses Bedell's
Record as Mortgage Forger.
HE PEACHES ON HIS PALS.
the Guaranty Association Robbed of
Enormous Sums by an Organ
lied Conspiracy.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The fact has Just
transpired that Gustave Falk, native
of Sweden, was arrested here on Thurs
day, charged with being confederate
in a gigantic mortgage swindle,
whereby the Guaranty association, of
Stockholm, Sweden, is the loser to an
enormous amount. A little less than a
week ago the Swedish vice consul at
Chicago received word from Washing
ton, ID. c.. that the authorities at Stock
holm had sent broadcast circular de-
Scribing Falk, who was wanted for
forgery. He communicated the fact to
the police authorities, with the result
above given. Falk turned over to the
officers the keys to an apartment III the
National Safety Deposit vaults, where
they found S2,114 in bank notes.
He also surrendered a gold watch and
chain which he had purchased with the
proceeds of his forgery. and made a
written confession. In his sworn state
ment he reveals gigantic conspiracy
to commit fraud, in which he himself is
but an insignificant factor. He says
that in Stockholm there exists gang
of mortgage fOrgerS and confidence
operators, who have Swindled the banks
for years; that they are extremely Sc
cretive, and only communicate with
each other by mail. He gave the names
of his companions, and on this informa-
ton the consul has enabled the authori-
ties at Stockholm to cause their arrest.
Falk is about forty-five years of age;
has a wife and family living in Sweden,
and, although he has German name, is
a native of Scandinavia. He says that
his share of the forgerieS amounted to
$500, and he cannot tell what the
others received, because each negOtia-
and kept the proceeds. The exact man
ner in which the fraud was perpetrated
is not known. Falk will be held for eX-

but considering his position in the

the position. What Gen. Harrison

hayon's confession in order to save his
own neck from the gallOws. The jury
disagreed and Demmig lies in Jail
