Pension Frauds Discovered.

BARRYMORE, Sept. 12-Frauds have been
discovered by Pension Examiners Cutler and

crimes, which have come to light through the
present system of delivering pension checks

that five times that number will be discovered
before their labors have been completed.
The papers in three fragrant cases are al
ready il Washington, and arrests, it is said,
will shortly follow. Cutler and Sidman will
not give the names Of more than three of the
thirty fse cases they have on hand. These
are Robert Graham, Edward Egan, who has
been impersonaiing Eugene Egan. bona
fide veteran, and Richard Wiley. Graham is
claimed to have had two service certificates,
drawing pension on each. while Egan is nc,
cused Of having deliberately forged the Ger.
tificates of the veteran who bore similar
name. Wiley was drawing pension. but had
meyer been in the army.
