4 BLIND FRAUD.
He Narrowly Escapes an Arrest as sus-
piciOus Character.


A fairly well-dressed man, giving his
name as George Collins, and representing
himself to be blind. applied TO Chief of
Police Poe last Wednesday for funds TO
reach Huntington, w. Va. Through
Major Poes influence he secured a pass
over the Chesapeake ana Ohio route.
Policeman Robins, who pat the man on
a Ninth-stTcet car TO go 10 Ford's Hotel,
remarked that ne thought the fellow was
a fraud The latter went subsequently
into Tyler's jewelry store TO get his
watch set He stated that he purchased
the time piece in New York for 500.
About o'clock that day he entered w.
d. Moses q Co.'S music store and asked
Mr. G. Harry Thompkins 20 write a let-
ter for him. IN the envelope were two
railroad tickets. issued by the connecting
roads Of the Pennsylvania system. The
epistla was addressed TO Mr.. Hart. gen
Cral ticket agent. Pittsburg. Penn" The
letter stated that the writer, who signed
himself as Thomas Bishop, had made
application for the rcfunding OF the face
value of the tickets Collins offered 10

vices. and displayed eight so notes, which
seemed 10 be perfectly new.

The annua report Of Attorney General
Spencer for the two years ending Oct. 81.
1892, makes an interesting pamphlet Of
n%inety-two pages. re report shows that
Mr.. Spencer during these two years has
created for himselfa record which is sell
dom cquallrd by that Of the law officer of
any state. In his letter Of transmittal 10
Governor Burke he states that he has
never neglected or failed to answer any
letter OF inquiry received by him during
that time. Among the more important
matters in which the attorney general was
engaged in behalf of the state were the
trial OF William Carmichael for murder, in
E.mmons county: that of Agnes Baldwin,
also for murder, in Ramsey county: that Of
Joseph Remington for murder, in Cass
county: the suit of NJ. }. Edgerly, secretary
OF the board of railway commissioners,
against the state auditor to compel him to
audit and allow the plaintiffs Dill for sal
airy as such public officer at the rate of
$1,000 per annum: the trial of Frank Smith
tor burglary. in Cass county, and several
cases against violatOrs OF the prohibition
law.
Attorney General Spencer has not only
set a good example in freely rendering as.
s%istance to state officers and others when
ever the newness OF tlleir duties and the
complications arising in administering the
affairs of a young state have led them to
request his advice, but he has, in other con.
nections, left a precedent which may we'll
be followed by those VINO shall succeed
him. Referring to the subject of travelling
expenses, lie says:
IL desire to state mat the law allows
mileage as well as all other necessary
travelling expenses for this office. l have
never charged the state one dollar for
mileage, but have given the state the bene-
tit OF my passes, which are furnished to
all state officers, and thus have saved to the
state hundreds Of dollars which l could
have legally charged and mad the benefit
of, as Is done by most public officers. |

ride upon a pass and then charge the state

and successful enforcement, it has in no
inefficiency on the part of the attorney
general, but has been the natural result Of
indifference or lack Of sympathy, on the
part of the people, as well as of some OF the
states attorneys, who are supposed to
represent the sentiment of their respective
localities. People who think the present
discussion IN this subject, is a case of
great cry and little WOOL" should read
the report carefully-it may result in a
change of their views, and will. at least,
afford abundant food for reflection.
The majority of the letters deal with the
enforcement of the prohibition law and
kindred matters. Subjoined are given
several OF these, which are fair samples.
and Illustrate the earnestness and zeal of
Mr.. Spencer in this branch of his duties:
BISMARCK, n. D., Oct. 80. 1891.
States Attorney of Barnes county, Valley
City.
DEAR SIR Complaint has been made
to me that the prohibition law is being
violated in SOur city and you are doiny
nothing to stopit or enforce tlelaw. Now,
IL Is not only your duty to prosecute when
complaint is made, but to Investigate YOUR
self, and if you find the law is being vio-
lated. to prosecute the viola,nrs. | don't
mean by this that it is your duty to act as
a spy or detective, but | do mean that YOU
should keep a careful lookout, and if YOU
find indications that the law is being viO-
lated, follow it up and bring the parties 20
Justice. There is no more defense for violat-
ing the prohibition law than in committing
grand larceny, and a man who will want,
only sell liquor or otherwise violate said
law, is, in my opinion, no better than a
horse thief. ! have no use for h,m, and
the class OF men who are selling liquors
are OF the most degraded kind. No de.
cent man will now engage in the bust
ness. and | trust you will have no heslta-
ton in prosecuting them to the fullest eX.
tent of the law. Ii this is not done, /
shall be compelled to appoint someone
else for your county who will, for | will
not allow the law to be trampled upon, if
possible to prevent. Please attend at once.
as l don't wantt to resort to extreme meas
ures. Yours truly.
