He was without friends when he came
to Washington aud applied to James C.
Sprigg, u real estate dealer at 1920 New
York avenue and also the agent of tho
Evans estate. He was given the Job of
Announcements was taken by DR.. Evans as a
valet.
He possessed in a great degree the
faculty OF ingratiating himself into the
good graces OF people, and when he ex-
pressed desire to 20 into the bicycle
business DR.. Evans advanced him $500.
From the first the bicycle store which he es-
ia blished at APT Ninth street north west,
Il branch OF W. J. Espey's store at 7o2
Fourteenth street, was success sfui He
sold a larger number OF wheels than the
firm could supply him with, and this was
the beginning of his trouble friends state
He was not possessed of any extensive
business experience, and did not know
the value OF money.
The absent agent has frequently shown
to friends communications from Switzer
land, proving his claim that he would
soon come into the possession of Il large
estate, and it is surmised that the young
man has gone to Geneva, as he has recently
become of age.
LED TO AN ACCOUNTING.
The report that De Riva was about to
take the agency for Another wheel reached
Mr.. Espey's ears a few days ago, and he
called on the sub agentfor a settlement and
with this in view began to take stock.
Shortly before the discrepancies in the ac-
counts were discovered De Riva had dis
appeared.
The question now arises who will make
good the debts contracted by the agent. Mr..
Espey says that the contract was entered
into b y the Fowler Manufacturing Company
and De Riva and that he himself did not
figure in the affair at all. He does not
know certainly that any bond was given,
but is OF the opinion that the young man
gave security to the extent OF one thou
sand dollars. He thinks that DR.. Evans,
who backed the young man, will be held
accountable by law.
James c. sprgG. the Evans estate agent
here was seen, but denied that either he
or DR.. Evans had stood accountable for
De Riva's debts DR.. Evans had al one
time sent a telegram authorizing De Riva
to draw $500. but that was the extent
OF their business connection. Mr.. Espey
holds worthless check, given by De
Riva for $7CO; SpriDgman's Express has
one for 500; Santer, the restaurant keeper,
will lose $50. and the employees of the
agency their salaries for various periods.
DENIED BY HIS FRIENDS.
The reports that the man led fast life
are denied, and the only persons who
could be found to say that he did were
employees of the agency. Friends of De
R;va point to the fact that no steps are
being taken TO effect his capture as evi-
dence that lie is not involved to any great
extent.
Mr.. Espey says that his loss win be
retrieved TO the sum of about $500 by
the stock in the store. The sundries be-
logged to Alfred Ely & Co., of Balti-
more, who will lose some money in the
affair De Riva s exact whereabouts are
