PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5,-By tho
arrest Of Robert RitIon, Of this city,
to-day, the police think they have
unearthsda a gigantic sySrom OF swind'
ling by bonus drafts printedin thonames
OF eleven different national banks aud
drawn to the correspondents OF those
banks in Louisville, Boston, Milwaukee,
Indianapolis, Chicago aud OH ays banks
in New York City. Last week RisBOn
called at the printing house OF William
son K Beeeher, aud representing him
self as the agent Of q caucsIIiug punch
for uSo Of banking houses, negotiated
for the printing Of several thousand
national bank checks, which he said ho
meant to uso in advertising his patent
punch. Ile left an order Tor the print
ing and furnished thetrm with sIOreo'
tpyad fac-simile OF cashiers DRAFT in
which the name Of tho bank was NOR
ticnd aud could be changed.
In addition to the printing OF tho
check from tho cut furnished, ho or
dured that tho name Of tho banks
thaG were correspondents Of tho nanS
upon which tho checks purported to
be should bs printed IN rcd lux. The
chccks US thon produced would ho an
imitation OF the originals used by the
banks, the list OF which he provided
tho printers.
Ritson's subsequent actions, his ap.
parent nervousness and his haste TO
have the work finished aroused tho
firms suspicious, aud they notified Cap
tain OF Detectives Miller of tho case.
THIS otticlSl scented an attempt at
Wholesale passing Of fraudulent checks,
aud at once detailed Detectives Tate
and Whitcomb, who went 10 tho prinl.
er's and awaited the arrival OF Ritqon
for the checks. They did not have long
TO wait before thSir man arrived, and
hs was taken into custody lie insisted
that he represented punch mOnufnc.
taring Grm aad had the checks printed
to use in his business. Questioning
led him to admit that he had not been
selling cancslllng punches for over q
year. lie stated also that lie had sold a
punch 10 the Third National Bank. As
the cashier OF that bank was in Cap
tain Miller'S room at tho time tho stAtc'
ment was made, It was promptly brand
cd as Il taisehood. Rttsoa was held 10
bail to answer charge Of eonSDiracy
with unknown persons by means OF

"THE DEFAULTER." "

The story of Lincoln }. Carter's
new and successful play, The De-
faulter," is that of trusted bank
employee, who uses the bank secur-
tiles to further his own interests.
The EN- mbezzlement is discovered,
the guilty man is arrested, convict
ed and transported to Australia.
After lapse of twelve years he
sends for his wife, who had re-
mained true to him and still be-
lieved in his innocence. He re-
quests her to bring certain tin
box which she will find in a GER
tain place. She takes the box not
knowing its contents) with her to
Australia, and visits her husband
in the prison She gives him the
box and contents, and he then IN
structs her to open a fine residence
and ask the prison officials for two
servants. She does as he requests,
and the husband and his former
pal are assigned to her. The two
men live life of luxury, but finally
the husbands brutality becomes
such that the long suffering and
patient wife turns against him and
sends him and his pal back to pris-
on. This is but mere outline OF
