WAS He "A DUPE2
The Hearing of Long Yesterday
Brings Out
SOME SENSATIONAL FEATURES.
He Was at Cleveland Having a "GoOd
Time" and Got In With Some Queer
POoplc-The Confessions Made by
Long to Justice Arlsle-Held to APP
pear for Trial

TheNVilliam Long case took on a sem
satIonal turn yesterday, Long, it will
be remembered, was arrested Saturday
afternoon for attempting to obtain
money under false pretenses, the cir
cumstances being as follows; Long
came to Bridgeport, and went to Geis's
monument establishment, where he
represented himself as a resident OF
Belmont He SAID he wanted to buy a
TOMBSTONE Tor the grave Of his brother,
who had died and left him q $4,000
farm near Belmont After purchasing
the tombstone, he induced Gels to come
over to Wheeling, and together they
went to Charles ]. Elig & Co.'s carriage
establishment where Long purchased
o buggy and wagon, presenting as pay
ment q, $3.50 check on Norfolk, Va,
bank. Elig was about to pay over the
balance due Long, when he suspected
that all might not beright, and the
three proceeded to the German bank,
The cashier proposed that telegram
be sent to the bank at Norfolk asking
as to the authenticity Of the check. To
this Long Objected, and later in tho az
ternoon was arrested,
On Monday evening the hearing was
held in Justice Ankles court at which
nothing OF a startling nature was deveI'
oped, and Long was given until Thurs
day TO get witnesses to substantiate his
story.
On Tuesday Squire Ankle was at the
jail building on business, aud alter
wards saw Long, and after n few words
he changed his tale entirely and made
the following statement to tho squire;
HIS FIRST CONFESSION.
~ met Samuel Ashman in Cleveland,
O., and got the check and certificate and
s., and he made q bargain with me to
give him $40 for every hundred he
would give me, and no gave mo this
check and tho certificate aud S., where.
fore he received $3.50 cash, aud not the
other he was to receive after / cashed
this check. He was here in town when
i got arrested" ~"
This changed the phase Of the affair
entirely, and showed that his former
story was entirely untrue. The squire,
doubling that he had told the truth in
its entirety, gave Long q paper and told
him II he had anything else 10 say to
do so, Long answered that there was
more to be told, and at q hearing OF the
case, held at the jail yesterday after
noon by Justice Arkle, the man handed
in an extended statement, which APP
