Frank P. Moore, NJ. D. registered at the
Screven house last night. The name Of
Detective John Kavanaugh did not appear
on the register. although he occupied
room Is with DR.. Moore. There is a very
interesting story behind all this. For
the last three weeks Postmaster Ha!nes
has been on the lookout for DR.. Moore,
having been notified by the postal au-
thorit.es that he was very much wanted
in Philadelphia and Louisville, on the
charge of using the mails for fraudulent
purposes.
A good many people, doubtless, read
an advertisement in Sundays Morning
News headed "Clairvoyant, Arrival Ex-
traordinary." The young DR.. LaRoche'
was the name given in the advertisement
but according to the information received
by Postmaster Ha5nes, the doctor is not
particular about what name he uses, and
oe-ng lover OF variety, usually changes
MS name when he removes from one city
to another
1t seems that some Of the Doctors pa
tents in Philadelphia and Louisville
found his services rather costly and now
they are charging him with defrauding
them and using the New York mails to
lure them into his net.
DR.. Moore,or LaRoche, sends out a large
number OF circulars advertising his clair
voyant business. He sent out a large
number from here. lie arrived in Sa-
Fannah two Wsa1s ago and secured
board at No. 117ls Duffy street, next door
but one from Postmaster Haines' resi-
dence. Although the doctor has been
such near neghbor Mr.. Haines did not
discover that fact until after the arrest
was made. He kept a sharp lookout for
the clairvoyant, however, and a couple
OF days ago met him in the postoffice He
was satisfied that the doctor was the man
wanted although he did not quite answer
the description and the case was put into
the hands of Detective Hanley.

a good deal of telegraphing, it seems.
but instead of going to the telegraph
office for his messages he continued to
receive them through one Of the railroad
! offices. He did not want to become known
at the telegraph Offices. it seems. Detec-
tive Hanley would not have gotten him
had he not been identified by a messenger
boy who had delivered a telegram to him.
In some way Detective Hanley learned
/ that the doctor intended to leave for
Jacksonville on the Florida Central and
Peninsular train. The detective was at
the depot and the messenger boy was
with him.
1t was not until the train was moving
out of the depot that Detective Hanley
spotted his man. He had the train
/ stopped and took him off. DR.. Moore pro-
tested at once against being locked up
and demanded to be taken before Unit
ed States commissioner. He said he was
a sick man, and could not stand
confinement in cell. He was taken be-
fore Commissioner Connolly and Post
master Haines was sent for Mr.. Haines
demanded that the prisoner be put under
heavy bail, but the doctor showed that
he was well up in such matters and de-
clared that $1,000 was the limit of bail al
lowed under the law. The commissioner
agreed to make the bail 81 500 and DR.

request, however, Detective Kavanaugh
should remain with the doctor until the
examination before the commissioner this
morning.

offered to tell Mr., Haines the names of all
his family, the combination to his safe

to know.
