vOULLAIRE IS DEFIANT,
He Says He Will Compel the Tntp|
state Commerce Commission In Tab.
Action Against the Roads.
Alfonso Voullaire is a slendorlv br,
young man Of medium height, wifi
piercing black eyes, curly hair and a
long, dropping mustache.
He looked like a man capable of The
sharpest kind Of sharp practice as he
leaned against the wall in the corridm
of the Tombs Prison last night and
told me his story.
Through the courtesy of Warden
Fallon l had been granted admission
to the jail long after the usual visiting
hours. I found the prisoner ready
and anxious to make a statement fI
publication in the Herald.
I'm telling my story" said he %
shall begin at the time of my exit from
the Interstate Commerce Commission
[ was employed by that body for sy
eral months, but went on a spree AM
was discharged.
Luck was against me, my inanCia
resources were exhausted and l wa
driven to my wits ends to raise none
enough for my living expenses. PRO
to my connection with the cOmmisSU
[ had been employed in the freigh
Offices of several prominent railrOa
companies, and had managed to e
possession Of documents proving Col
clusively against each Of them whole
sale violations Of the Interstate Con
MERGE law.
NOW, I suppose you know VIII
relations of this kind mean to the col
victed party? They mean nothin
less than a penaly of $1,000 for eac
and every offence, coupled with
term Of imprisonment, discretiOnar
with the Court.
FORGED CHECKS IN PAYMENT.
Holding the sc valuable document
and being in desperate need Of fund
[ did what most men under the CT
cumstances would have done-namel.
l sold part of them. Through a SUI
posed friend, whose name I will n
now divulge, I disposed of a few
my documents to the Interstate Con
merce Commission, receiving in retul
a check for $35 O~stensibly signed
Mr. Mosely, secretary.
"That check was a forgery perp
trated by my treacherous friend. Con
ing to New York | was approached B
a man who gave the name OF 1.
Slade. l furnished him some doc
mentary evidence Of Interstate Con
MERGE law violations and receive
from him a check for $50. This
deposited with my friend NJ. E. DilIOl
Of No. 155 East Thirty-ffth street, an
received from him so on account
it's face value.
CRESTED FOR FORGERY.
q then went to Chicago, ~returnin
here on April 9. The following day
was arrested on complaint of DllloL
who had discovered SHADES check
be worthless.
Through the publication Of certa!
extracts from the mass Of evidence !
my possession against prominent raj
road companies the managers Of thes
companies were on the watch to II
capture their discriminating document
AS soon as I was locked up on th
charge of forgery these MANAGE
swarmed around me. Di5tlngulShee
visitors, we're they not, for a TomO
prisoner?'
They softsoaped me; tried IN ever
way to lead me into a voluntary 6u
