"Dr" Emil Richter, or as he was
known in Butte, Jean c. Hensinger,
the gilt-edged swindler who paid this
city a brief but memorable visit
couple of weeks ago. is in Jail at Port
land, and as there are Is or i6 separate
and distinct charges against him the
chances are that he will become a per-
manent resident of Oregon, although
greatly against his will. Those whom
the doctor" met and worked while he
was in Butte will not be displeased to
learn that he has finally broken into
Jail although they will undoubtedly be
greatly surprised to hear that he is
there on such an ordinary charge as
that of burglary. DR." Richter sue
cessfully worked some of the shewdest
and most skeptical business men in
Butte while he was here and he left
the impression behind Of being a crook
of the first water and of purest nerve
serene.
A prominent mining man and bank
err of Butte who is noted for his
shrewdness fell an easy victim to the
fake Doctors persuasive eloquence
and was on the point of advancing him
$4,000 with which to build mill for
his new cyanide process for treating
ores, when he suddenly left the city for
Helena on a ticket furnised him by
prominent ticket broker in whom he
! had found a warm admirer. The lnfor-
nation that he had been caught at
Portland for swindling some one out
OF $4,000 or 10000 or disposing OF
few blocks OF stock in the 10000 mile
railroad, which he claimed to be build
ing across Russia, would not have oc-
casioned much surprise In Butte as
that seemed to be the game that he
was most capable of working. That
man of DR.. Richter's attachments,
however should be locked up on the
petty criminal charge Of burglary is
disappointing to those whom he taught
to admire his colossal gall The fol-
| lowing letter from the chief of police
at Portland, which was received at po-
| lice headquarters yesterday, tells Of
his arrest there:
Portland. Ore. Jan. 90, 1896.
