WHITEMAN In THE PEN.
Noted Forger and Swindler Sem
fenced In California.
Once Mayor of Duluth and Minnesota
Legislator, He Becomes Common
Crook-IIis Long Crimi-
nal Career.

For the next nine years the police in
the United States and Mexico will have
no trouble with Alonzo j. Whiteman,
the well-known forger and thief Ac-
cording to the Chicago Times-Herald
he was sentenced to n term covering
that length of time In the California
penitentiary.
For some time he had been on trial
In San Francisco, but by means of
false afiidavits managed to have his
case drawn out by continuances. Re-
Gently he was convicted of forgery and
received the sentence, much to the re-
lief Of the police and the Pinkerton De.
tective agency, who have spent no lit
tie time and trouble in having White,
man put behind the bars.
When first found guilty of his crime
in San Francisco Whiteman concocted
a scheme by which to get continu-
ance and, If possible, evade punish
ment. lie obtained an affidavit pur-
porting to have been received from one
Frank Dixon, of Chicago, in which 1t
was declared that the check forged by
Whiteman was genuine. Numerous
other afiidavits were also produced, by
means of which he tried to prove that
the PinlSerton detectives were perse-
cutting him, and that he was innocent
of the charge for which he was on
trial. 1t developed, however, that all
these afidavits were forgeries, that the
prisoners career in Chicago was that
of q swindler, and that Frank Dixon
was only myth.
Before sentence was pronounced the
district attorney read other uflidavits
from Chicago, signed by reputable cit
liens, stating that If Dixon was in ex-
istence he was an accomplice of White
man. William Pinkerton also testified
that Whiteman was one of the most ac-
complished forgers and swindlers in the
United States, and related several stor-
les regarding the criminal career of the
prisoner in different parts of this coun-
try and Mexico. His special proclivity,
according to Mr.. Pinkerton, was to
cheat his friends, and in this he was
very successful for number of years.
Alonzo j. Whiteman is compare
lively young man, though his expe-
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1895-10-04

rience In crime is by no means small.
Before entering upon the career which
led him into the penitentiary he was
engaged in politics to great extent.
He is the son of wealthy and respectable
parents and received good education.
For a term he was mayor of Duluth,
Mimi, and later on was elected sena-
tor in the Minnesota state legislature.
In Chicago he won an enviable reputa-
ton among thieves by successfully
eluding the police who were after him
because of his swindling operations at
the race tracks. Several bookmakers
became his victims, and as soon as he
has completed his term of Imprisonment
i'll California an attempt will be made
to bring him to that city to stand trial
fo- his operations. He tried by means
Of forged checks, as in San Francisco,
to make victims of several Chicago
banks, but in this he did not succeed.
Joe Ullman, the bookmaker, was
canght for $500 a year ago, and imme-
diately instructed w. A. Pinkerton to
run down the swindler. 1t was found
that he had been running books at
means of "welshing" had obtained pos
session of great deal of money from
book-makers and race track men.
At Latonia, Cincinnati, he had been
successful, and when he came to Chica-
go last summer he was driven from
Washington park after brief stay.
He then departed for Detroit, and
there got into serious trouble with the
police, but finally eXtricated himself, to
continue his operations for another
brief period and finally land in prison
in California on account of the forging
of q check.
Among other things, Whiteman
claimed while in Chicago to be presi-
dent of the Whiteman Pulp Paper mills,
and tried to get money from board OF
trade men, but in this he was not sue
cessful. He forged number of checks
on the Corn Exchange bank, but 1t also
failed to become his victim.
Probably Whiteman's greatest mis-
take was the charge of persecution
which he brought against Pinkerton
in San Francisco. No special attention
had previously been paid to the man by
the Pinkerton people, who considered
him only a petty thief whose operations
were confined mostly to race tracks
But by his accusation of PinlSerton the
latter was aroused and uncovered the
whole glaring record of Whiteman, 81
that he was finally convicted on the
strength of the evidence brought ou
by long search.
Besides his crimes in San Francisco
Chicago and Detroit, charges of swind
ling are brought against the prisone
in London, Nashville and the City O
Mexico, and he will be taken for tria
to one of these places as soon as hi
present term expires.

The discovery of the bridge jumper
was made by Policeman Edwards, who

when a stout, smooth-faced man, with.

an and man. The man was engaged
in chafng her hands and endeavoring
TO restore the woman to consciousness.
The long, black hair in which the
white face of the PROSTATE figure was
framed revealed the sex of the person
to the policeman.
The American flag round the body
and the presence Of two broken air bags
hanging from the waist at once led
him to suspect new aspirant for the
fame of bridge jumper.
At the hospital it was found that
none of her bones were broken. The
two men were locked up when they ex-
planned that they had been on hand in
the small boat to pick the woman up
when she reached the water. One
proved to be her husband. They were
released from custody when presented
in the Tombs police court, as there was
no one to prove their part in the affair.
Mrs. Macarthur is the twelfth person to
jump the bridge, but the first of her sex
to make the attempt.
Mrs. Macarthur was fined five dollars
by Magistrate Crane in the Tombs
police court. She paid the fine and left
the court with her husband. The
woman seems to have fully recovered
from her immersion.
