ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Franz Klnlnger FORCES Notes to the
Amount OF S64s.

Franz Kininger, wood chopper TO
Wendell Hodapp, was arrested late Fri
day afternoon. on complaint of the lat
ter for forging Hodapp's name to a notC
for $2l4, payable to w. G. Hoerr, cashier
of the Citizens National Bank, in four
months: Kininger was arraigned before
Judge Porter, but refused the assistance
of an attorney, and waived an examina'
ton. He was bound over to the next
term of the District court, and now lies
In the county Jail. AS the case is be-
yond the Jurisdiction of Judge Porter in
the matter of admitting to bail, the pris-
oner will have to await the return of
Judge Severance before bail can be fixed,
1t is UNLIKELY that he can furnish bail,
however.
Kininger is u man of about thirty years
of age, and has been in this country only
about year, but seems to have become
Americanized very quickly. He has
tried three times to obtain money on
forged notes at the Citizens National
Bank this week. Monday he presented
a note signed by himself and Joseph
Rauchmann, OF Mapleton, for $2l4, for
which he wanted tickets sent to his fam
lily in the old country for their passage
to America. Mr.. Hoerr suspected that
something was wrong, and made out a
mock receipt, which he gave to the man,
promising to send the tickets. Tuesday
he saw Mr.. Rauchmann, and found out
that his name had been forged to the
note. Wednesday Kininger, having
succeeded so we'll, as he supposed, pre-
sented another note for $2I4, signed by
himself, Wendell Hodapp and John
Suss, saving that he wanted the money
to purchase some land of Mr.. HOdapp. |
Mr.. Hoerr retained the note, but did !
not pay the money, saying that he would |
60 with Kininger and pay the money to |
Hodapp. As they left the bank Kinin-
ger said that he had changed his mind
and would not pay Hodapp that day,
and started off in an opposite direction.
Mr.. Hoerr found that both Hodapp's
and Suss's name were forged. Seeing
that nothing was done, Kininger pre-
sented another note for $l20 yesterday
signed by himself and Wen
1all Hodspp, the latter name being again
iorged. Mr.. Hodapp then swore out a
warrant for the foTger's arrest. Officer
Robel arrested Kininger on Mr.. Ho-
iapp's farm in Nicollet county, where
le had gone back to work. He confess
ID everything to the officer, and said
hat he had intended to pay the notes
before his crime was detected. He sta
ed that, at his request, a young son of
Tohn Arnold, living in Nicollet county,
rad signed Mr.. Hodapp's name to the
econd note, but that he himself had
igned the other names. Each name
vas written in an apparently different
and with different colored
nix.
Kininger has thus far borne good
equation. Mr.. W. G.. Hoerr's theory
or the crime is this: Last week Mr..
uss, with whom Kininger boarded, got
everal tickets for friends in Europe,
living a note endorsed by Mr.. Hodapp,
or a part of the money. Kininger
bought he would do same without be-
ng found out, and would pay the notes
fhen due.
