SPREAD OF A SW|NDLE,
Many Banks Victimized by
George Elwood and His
AccompliceS.
All the Spurious Drafts Circulated
Were Signed by Ex.Cashier
Royse.

WICHITA, KANs., Dec 1O.-The field Of
the bank swindlers, whose workings were
reported last night, seems to be more ex-
tended than was at first supposed. In
addition to the large number of banks in
Southern Kansas and Oklahoma known
to have been victimized by George Elwood
and his accomplices, bank at Canadian,
in the Panhandle of Texas, telegraphed
to-day that it had been bunkoed out of $500
by these parties, while bank at Ness
City, Kans., also reports loss of the same
amount in a similar manner. A man
named Long, who seems to be in league
with, Elwood, came to this city recently
and swindled number of merchants out
of various sums, but the total amount is
not known.
The Sedgwick County Bank came near
being caught for $3.50 by one of the gang.
The cashier was about to pay bogus
check for that amount, but the president
was suspicious and threw out the draft.
The drafts used by the swindler are all
signed by Frank Royse, ex-cashier of the
Citizens Bank of Jamaica, Iowa. This
while Southern Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas are flooded with unpaid drafts upon
it which in the aggregate exceed that
amount. Royse was formerly cashier of
the bank of Enid, Okla. He was at
one time Ole of the leading business men
of Medford, Okla, and reputed to be i'm
mensely wealthy. He was also prominent
in Cherokee strip politics.
Neither Elwood nor Royse can be To-
Gated. The former has bad record, being
under Indictment for alleged crimes in
Oklahoma. He is reported to be the same
Elwood who killed man near Manhattan,
Kans., few years ago.

AMBASSADOR bAYARD CALLED TO ACCOUNT

veloped the fact that Hayward met Miss
Cling that night and drove out as far as
Thirteenth street, where he was met. by
Claus Blixt, the janitor in the employ OF
his father. Blixt drove Miss Cling out
Calhoun road and shot her. He then
came into town on foot, going to several
places where he was known for the pur-
pose OF establishing an alibi. Hayward
after leaving Miss Cling hurriedly retraced
his steps and took young society lady to
the theater, sitting through the perform
ance, apparently unconscious of the trag-
edy that was then being enacted. Blixt
was afterward arrested and confessed to
the actual killing. He was given life
sentence in the Saltwater Penitentiary.
In telling his story he claimed that Hay
ward had him in his power, exercising an
influence over him that it was impossible
to resist. Hayward himself was placed on
trial, and despite the best legal talent that
money could buy was found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree and sentenced to
death. The usual appeal to the highest
court was made and overruled. A petit
ton for clemency or Communication of the
death sentence was denied by the chief
executive of the State. Medical experts
agree that the man was abnormal and to-
tally devoid of all moral sense, and signed
the petition simply upon that point.
The condemned man refused all spiritual
advice during his stay in Jail, and spent
most of his time reviling and cursing his
brother and others, whom he charged with
being responsible for his conviction.

DEFEATED BY CORPORATION INFLUENCES

instead of being disconsolately packing
their grips preparatory to their departure
for home a defeated and sad crowd OF
boomers, if these six votes could have been
secured from Chicago. Tomorrow they
will set their faces toward the land OF the
setting sun with reflections of what might
have been.
Chicago, instead of turning her nine
votes to San Francisco when st. Louis pc
gan to forge ahead, remained in the race
until the last and finished with six votes
to her credit.
The Californians think that the Worlds
Fair city was ungrateful and unappre-
ciative IN not standing by San Francisco,
her friend, to defeat her great rival, st.
Louis.
Last night the California boomers
were very much elated and confident
of success, but as wired to THE
CALL they allowed their enthusiasm and
zeal to influence their better judgment
and they counted for San Francisco sew
eral votes which were classed as exceed
ingly doubtful by others who had studied
the situation.
Besides, the Californians at no time real
lZSu WIdI WAS dppdIcHt W OtASISy VIZ.
that many votes cast for San Francisco on
the first ballot were compl mentary and
would desert the Golden Gate city in SUBJ
sequent ballots. This prediction, made
in last nights dispatches to THE CALL,
was verified to-day. California's strength
began to dwindle after the first ballot.
General Clarkson cannot be gwen too
much credit He worked Loyalty for Cali
fornia from first to last, and was assisted
by Colonel Trumbo to keep San Fran
ciscos vote in line. Clarkson influenced
not less than ten committeeman to vote
for San Francisco, Colonel Trumbe Sc
cured Alaska's proxy and voted it for San
Francisco.
An effort was made by the Calfornians
to induce Mr.. de Young to present reso-
ton expressing the sense OF the COM
mittee TO be that the convention of 1900
should go to San Francisco, and this reso-
luton would undoubtedly have passed,
but Mr.. de Young did not accede to their
request.
De Young left tonight for New York.
He sails for Europe on Thursday. Gen
eral Chapman, General Friedrich and
Messrs. Osborne, Knight, RAIDER, Hale and
Sachs leave tomorrow for the West. They
made a game fight and are entitled to
great credit for such good showing
against odds.

HAIRY HAYWxRD,s CRIME.
Hoto He Compelled Cfa,ss Blint to Murder
Miss cling.

Hoto He Compelled CLAUS Blint to Murder
Miss Cling.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Dec. 10. The
crime for which Harry Hayward was
hanged was one OF the most remarkable of
1894, the body of Miss Catherine Cling was
found in tamarac swamp on the further
shore of Lake Calhoun, q few miles from
this city About the same time horse
drawing an empty buggy, with blood be-
smeared over the cushions and sides,
walked into Gossman's livery stable
where it had been rented early in the even
ing by Miss Cling. Rigid and searching
inquiry was at once instituted by the au-
thorities. 1t developed that Miss Cling
had her life insured for $40. 900, the policies
being made payable to Harry Hayward.
This directed suspicion toward him, and
after being under surveillance for few
days he was, together with his brother
Adry, taken into custody. AS Hayward
was at the theater the night of the murder
it was shown conclusively that he did not
do the actual killing.
Then Adry told remarkable story. He
said that Harry had plotted to kill Miss
0luS IOI JuC iiIC oLu w oAtCu LIS
assistance, which was refused. Some days
before the murder Adry had told the story
to L. M. Stewart, an old and respected
citizen and long time friend of the family.
Mr.. Stewart dismissed it as an idle yarn
and only recalled it when the dead body
of Miss Cling was found in the lonely tam
arac swamp.
Further investigation by the police de-

disintegrated so that the member from
that State was the only person voting for
the Smoky City. The four votes lost by
Pittsburg on this occasion went to st.
Louis, thus putting her in the lead with %
votes; San Francisco and Chicago remain
ing stationary with 10 and 8 votes each to
their credit.
1t was now apparent that st Louis was
forging steadily to the front. Pittsburg
dropped out of the race. On the last ballot
San Francisco received Is votes, chicago
and st. Louis &c. three more than ma
jority. The detailed vote of the final ballot
is herewith given:
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-11

The St. Louisans are saying tonight
that they exacted no pledges from their
friends on the committee, but that their
sole argument consisted in presenting the
claims of their city to the mem bers, assur-
ing them that sending the convention
there would greatly encourage the Repub-
licans OF the State, and leaving the men,
bers CT the committee to follow the bent
of their own inclinations.
The report that ST. Louis had won the
convention spread through the surging
crowds in the hotels with the speed of a
prairie fire, and within a minute the head
quarters of the st. Louis delegation were
crowded With the members OF other dele
cations, who hastened there to congratu-
late the victors. One of the Pittsburgers,
