CAN RECOVER $3.50
or the $3.50 That He Advanced to Prisoner
Lewis.


Lewis.
Chief Of Police Poe has received from Pink
ertons National Detective Agency letter en-
closing the report of the man whom they sent
to the penitentiary at Lansing, Kan, to inves-
tigate the case of George Lewis (cOlOred) who
raised q check from 81 to $40 900, and who
secured $3.50 on it from the Savings Bank Of
the True RefOrmers IN Richmond.
full account Of this remarkable forgery
was published in The TINES several weeks
ago
Several new facts, however have been
brought 10 light by the detectives. 1t seems
that Lewis had q trusty friend III prison
named Bryant. and the two concocted a
scheme to get Lewis out of prison.
Some time previous TO Bryants discharge

10 JeavenwOrth on errands for the prison 1t
has since developed that Bryant and Lewis
concOcted a scheme 20 get Lewis out Of
prison. Lewis was for eighteen months en-
ployed in the Auditor Generals Office in

familiar with the different official letter

note 10 DOdswOrth u Co., printers IN Leaven-
worth Kansas describing the heading

Bryant carried this note to the printing Of
fee and later brought Lewis a couple OF the
headings. one Of which he used in writing up
the pardon on The officials have since Sc
cured the balance of the twenty-five copies
from the printers Lewis wrote up the par
don and also wrote ont telegram 10 be sent
to him at the penitentiary. He then instruct
ed Bryant as to what 20 do. etc. and when
Bryant was discharged he prOceededto Wash

notifying him that his pardon would soon be
coming also q letter which explained that the
papers were all ready and he would soon be
released. These were mailed at Washington,

Lewis pardon arrived 1t appeared to be all
correct excepting that there was
clause in the same instructlng the
warden of the prison 10 endorse npon
the back Of the pardon the release of Lewis,
etc. This attracted the warden's attention,
as he did not think it proper 10 give up his
authority or order for release, so he tele-
g-apAed 10 Washington to ascertain the truth
Of the papers and ascertained that the officials
there knew nothing about them.
