His Settling Clerk Gets Away with n Good
Amount of Cash. Ft"#
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-B. Ii. Hutchinson,
or "Old Hutch" has again been robbed,
and one OF his selling clerks on the Board
OF Trade is now in Toronto, across tho
line, the embezzled amount ranging
anywhere from $3.50, 900 to 100000. Mr..
Hutchinson is not the only victim. w.
Z. Dickinson 4 Co., another firm on tho
same floor with Hutchinson in the Board
building, had clerk in their employ
who, IT is alleged, was in tho conspiracy,
aud Mr.. Dickinson is loser Of m
amount which is variously estimated Mt
from $1,000 to $4,000. This clerk, like
Hutchinson's, has also taken to his
heels. and MIR. Dickinson says that the
two are now together in Toronto.
The revelations did not come until
yesterday. Last Tuesday afternoon
Dickinson's missing clerk, Bert King.
complained that he was i'll md he Went
home about the same hour flutcliinson,s
settling clerk, who is only known MS
Stoner, also became the victim OF
severe, attack of the grip, and he left
ostensibly for home. That was tho last
seen Of the two. They didn't 20 home,
Yesterday the exposure came. MIR
Dickinson who had implicit faith in

his surprise and CONSERVATION the books
were mutilated 80 badly that everything

himself in. Mr.. Dickinson SAYS the old
gentleman had been bled pretty freely.
and that the big traders losses probably
exceeded those Of his (Dickinson'sj three
or four times over. The stealing has
been going on for some time and until
the accounts of both firms are settled
there isno way OF arriving ut tho exact
amount.
The plan Of operation was simplicity
itself. Stoner, NutcIinson's clerk. made
out check slip which passed through
the Board Of Trade Clearing House in
the regular way. This slip was made
out to Dlckinson's firm as payee and rep
resented the sums said TO have been
lost by Hutchinson in the market. The
slip. after it passed the Clearing House,
fell into the hands OF Bert King, who
stood in" with Stoner, and the checks
were cashed, division being made at
the end OF each deal.

UNITED STATES PRISONERS
Set Up n Singular Plea for Their Release
From Prison,

FROM IrfS0u. .-s
ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. o4.-Consider-
able excitement was occasioned here
yesterday when it was learned that a
law firm had made application for the
Issuance Of writs Of habeas corpus in
the case OF a number OF Government
prisoners now in the State Penitentiary.
The position taken is novel one. The
prisoners were sentenced to terms in the
United States Penitentiary at Sioux
Falls. When South Dakota was ad-
mitted the Government wing was turned
over to the new State and the prisoners
all moved into the State portion Of the
prison. ,a-s VI
The prisoners claim that the Govern
ment penitentiary has been abolished
and no such place now exists, and that
the authorities had no right to turn
them over to any other place Of i'm
prisonment. The applications we're
sent to United States District Judge
Edgerton ami he will appoint time for
hearing and argument Oh the petitions.
