The Next One Will Be Held Down by q
Stone Quarry, He Says.

BOSTON, Dec. ia month ago Messrs.
HerreshofY of Bristol, r.. l., received an
order for q SAC, 900 steam yacht. IL re-
ports are true, there was just $50, 900 to be
made out Of the contract, which called for
the "best and fastest steam yacht" the
hrm could get up. AS everybody knows
now, the young man who went down to
Bristol and gave the order pulled the leg
of the head of the firm, to use familiar
expression. The aforesaid young man,
Howard w. Ream, tried and finally sue
ceeded In convincing Judge Hardy In the
second session Of the municipal court that
he played no part In the larceny of w. j.
Clark's watch few days ago.
George A. Reines, his companion. did
not fare 90 well, for he was sent to the
Massachusetts, reformatory.
Ream was also sentenced, but taking
exceptions to the decision Of the court,
was held in $500 for the grand jury.
Before being removed from the dock
Judge Hardy reconsidered his decision and
discharged Ream with the expressed un-
derstanding that the man of yachting
fame would light out for New York as
soon as he could get train.
Howard promised, and with the air OF a
conqueror brushed few imaginary cob
webs off his silk tile as he bowed his fare
well to the court.
In appearance Ream would pass any
where ~ Q parsonage Of abundant means.
Since he has been in limbo awaiting trial
he has succeeded In raising a beard Of
such a growth that his identity might
have been said to have been left behind
him within the gloomy walls of the
prison.
He Talks OF His Future.
"What are you going to do nswp asked
areporter.
"Whst am I going to dol" Well,
don't know exactly, but Pm going to New
York first thing, and Pm going to see my
people about getting the first installment
on the yacht. They won't know what has
become Of me. Why, I've just received a
letter from them In the mail which has
accumulated since l have been in Jail.
They didn't send 1t to my recent address,
you know.
"No, l don't claim to be son of Nor
man L. Ream of Chicago. He is a rela-
tive of my father, but I never used his
name. That was one of Wolfe's schemes.
He gave IL out In New York that l was
Norman Ream's son, and he wanted me
He wanted to collect money on them,
that's what he wanted to do. But he
didn't get me to go into any scheme like
that. Well, guess not.
"How did / get into Chicago society,"
Why, was a moneyed man then, and
spent money. / was member of the
board of trade. l was a banker and
broker, you know. l didn't have to use
Norman Ream's name.
eyes, ! was engaged to a young lady
there, and the engagement hasn't been
broken off yet, IL they did hatch up
scheme to get me out of the way. That
Chicago affair was an outrage. Imagine

Trouble Ahead For Chicagoana.
"Why, I've got an affidavit here from a
Chicago woman" said Ream as he placed
his hand over his heart, "and Pm going
to use it, 100. You know they said in
suited two ladies In front of the theatre.
Well, I'm going to find out who those
ladies were, and make it just as interest

IL for me.
"And wolfep continued Ream, with
special emphasis on Wolfe, "he's a nice
one, he is DO you know / had $4,000
worth Of bonds which was trying to sell
for Wolfe when l was arrested, and they
weren't worth the paper they were written
on. That was a narrow squeeze for me,
but perhaps being arrested as vagrant
saved me from a worse fate. / didn't
know the bonds were worthless"
Ream says he belongs to Dayton, O.,
where his mother and sister still live, and
where he earned his first money selling
papers.
''Since that time" said Ream, 81 have
