Besides these in his pock textbook were a
number of San Francisco pawn tickets,

When Heath arrived at the Sheriff s
Office he declined to answer any questions,
but sent at once for Judge Bucks to be his
attorney. After an interview with the
Judge he referred all inquiries to him. At
noon a telegram was received from the
First National Bank at Pasadena saying
the drafts were fraudulent.
At o'clock the telegram came from the
Fourth National Bank of Wichita, saying
five OF the Wichita banks had received let
tiers from the Pasadena bank to cash drafts
for Hartwen P. Heath. Heath or Truesdell,
if he is the latter, is under arrest for for
gerry in signing the name of Assistant
Cashier E. P. May of the First National
Bank of Pasadena and for attempting to
secure money under false pretenses.

Emporia and four for $3.50 each in Wichita
But he made mistake when he tackled
Emporia There is good reason to believe
that he is ''big crook" from the size of
his operations and the GOODNESS he ex-
hibits.
"Heath" is a pleasant-looking man, me-
dunn height, heavy set, dark hair and
mustache, well dressed and evidently pol
ished and refined. He only had
a few dollars in silver in his
pocket. In his valise we're few
soiled clothes and embroidered night
shirt, half pint bottle of cologne, an
elegant safety razor and toilet case, with
the little articles usually carried in the grip
of gentleman on trip across the conti-
tinent. The preliminary examination was
continued by Judge Fletcher to Saturday.
His bail was fixed at $1,000, but not given.

eyes" said Prison Director Edgar J. De
Pue yesterday, when spoken to regarding
the peculiar circumstances attending the
relations between Warden Aull and Con-
vict Bachman in their literary venture,
1--WE did consider the details of the matter
at our meeting last Friday night at Fol-
som. In fact we investigated it very thor
oughly, with the result that we found that
Bachman is dangerous man, and that
Captain Aull had been indiscreet enough
to let his sympathy for man, whom he
thought to be better than he turned out to
be, do something which he would not have
done under ordinary circumstances. Mind,
we do not blame Captain Aull. 1t was his
good nature which was imposed on.
"There were, of course, two stories for
! us to listen to. One was told by Captain
Aull and the other by Convict Bachman,
whose word, in my opinion, will bear no
comparison to that of the warden.
Captain Aull told us his story, and it
was then placed in the form of an affidavit,
to which he swore. He said that Bachman
had, since his arrival in the prison, shown
himself to be very industrious and tract
! dDlC W Gie IuleS. he is man or excel
lent education, and, after awhile, was given
charge of the prison books. Some two
years ago, the Warden said, he learned that
Bachman was writing book. 1t was
rather sentimental in its character but it
was not, as some claim, indecent As
Bachman had been such faithful worker
| Warden Aull said he encouraged him in
his literary labors, and even went over
some OF the pages of the manuscript, cor
recting and criticizing wherever he thought
it necessary.
Then, when the book was ready for
publication came the difficulty with Dill
lingham & Co, the New York pub
fishers, about advancing them money to
secure them tsom possible loss. Bachman
admitted hin inability to advance the
money and appealed to the Warden to help
him. Captalb Aull again allowed his good
nature to get She best of him, and he said
that he advanced Bachman some money
out of his own pocket.
"Bachmans statement throughout was
not borne out by facts. He said that Cap
tain Aull wrote some of the chapters but
this the Warden denied. He said also.
that the Warden held out the returns for

that there were no returns

sign, rowing out to the vessel one dark
night, setting her on fire and rowing
ashore undetected. But they were sus-
pected, and at last Caskey, when drunk,
confessed to the detectives and both men
were arrested.
Bachman pleaded his own case He
claims to be newspaper man and to have
worked on the large English dailies. His
book was evidently not the work of tyro.
He talks we'll and is remarkably well in
formed. In consequence, his defense was
stirring one. In it he took occasion to
score the entire detective force of the city.
Caskey, on the other hand, pleaded
guilty, but said that he had been in
fuenced to do the deed by the stronger
will of Bachman. The former was sem
fenced to ten years and was pardoned
three years ago. Bachman, who is now
AZ years of age, has still twenty eight years
of his time to serve.
