A PRETTY MISS,
Charged With Forging Check for
s75--She's a Sweet Thing, How
ever, and Has Friends Who Stick
10 Her.

Red Oak, Iowa, September 21.-Miss
Anna Hammer, a pretty music teacher,
is charged with having passed a forged
check for S75 on the Bank of Elliott.
The case has assumed sensational
proportions. The whole of this sec
ton of Iowa is excited over the affair.
The trial opened yesterday with fifty
of the most prominent society women
of Red Oak lined up with the prison
er in the criminals dock to show their
sympathy.
Much mystery surrounds the case.
The prisoner is beautiful blonde and
the only daughter of a prominent fam
lily. Elliott is ten miles east.
Some weeks ago young woman re-
sembling Miss Hammer stepped into the
bank, introduced herself as Miss Han
ner and offered a check drawn by a
Red Oak man. She explained that she
was visiting at Elliott and needed the
money. Would the bank accommodate
her?
The cashier could not refuse such
distinguished person and handed over
the money. In few days the check
was returned protested.
REPUDIATES THE CHECK.
When a messenger was hurriedly sent
to Miss Hammer she was indignant and
declared she had not been in Elliott
for months. and went into spasms
when accused of forging the check.
She was indicted last month. The
bank is certain of its case and has en-
ployed eminent special counsel for fear
the influential friends of the prisoner
may interfere with the county attor-
ney.
Miss Hammer has retained three Of the
ablest lawyers in the county and is pre-
pairing to bring a damage suit for $50
900 as soon as this case is settled
The theory of the defense is that
some adventures made up to resemble
the prisoner swindled the bank in her
name. The bank officials say they have
evidence that Miss Hammer wanted
money very badly about that time and
took this means of raising it.
Many witnesses will testify that they
saw the prisoner, or a girl exactly like
her. at Elliott the day of the swindle.
while as many more will swear Miss
Hammer was here at that time.

ward, and the rope swung over it, one
end being securely fastened around the
neck of the unfortunate. Once more
he was appealed to to confess and tell
where Rowe was.- Again he protested
ignorance of any crime. Then came
the order to let loose the tree, aGS as
it swung upright poor King was car
rid off his feet. 1t was a thrilling
moment. 1t was so dark that the fea-
lures could not be distinguished, and
save the labored breathing of the I'M
fortunate man as he was slowly strang-

came the order to take him down,
which was quickly done, and Mr.. King
once more stood upon terra firma. AS
soon as he had sufficiently recovered
he was again asked if he would con-
fess Replying that he had nothing to
confess, again the order was given to
hang him, and a second time it was
obeyed with an alacrity that at once
convinced the struggling but helpless
man that unless he could outwit his
captors his life would not be worth a
cent

and, if so, induce him to come to the
relief of wronged man.
1t so happened that the paper con-
tanning Mr.. Kings card fell into the
hands of Rowe, who was somewhere
in Illinois, and he at once FASTENED to
the rescue of his former landlord. One
cannot depict the joy of King at once
more resting his eyes on the man
whom he was accused of killing and
burying at the dead hour of night. Of
course, instant release followed and
Mr.. King stepped forth free man, as
we'll as those accused of completely.
DR.. Rowe related the circumstances
of his disappearance and his reasons
therefor. He was married man, but
he and his wife did not live harmon
iously together. He had left her and
gone to Oxford to live. There he said
nothing about being married, passing
as a single man. One day his wife
learned of his whereabouts and he as
certained the fact that she was on her
way there, or would start soon. He
was called out to see patient, and
make himself scarce. He acted on
this thought at once. He did not in
form a soul of his intended departure
nor his destination for fear that his
wife might in some way learn where
he was. He went to Southern Illinois,
where he was oblivious to the excite
ment he had created or the trouble he
had unwittingly caused his landlord.
BIG DAMAGES RECOVERED.
Soon after Mr. King went to Ohio,
and in due time he began suit for dam
ages in the Federal Court against the
Horse Thief Detecting Company, lay
ing the amount in a good round sum.
Vice President Hendricks was one of
the attorneys in the case. The jury
gave Mr.. King judgment against the
horse company for several thousand
dollars.
Mr.. King will be 76 years old if he
lives until May %, $685. He is in feeble
health, owing to inflrmities incident to
his advanced age, but peacefully pass
ing the late afternoon of life, highly
esteemed in wide circle of friends and
revered by his children, among the

before railroads entered Indiana, he

recollection when compared with that

to trust him for board until he, the
physician, could acquire acquaintance
and practice in the vicinity. The doc
tor was boarded almost without price
for year, his fees for medical ser
vices being less frequent than his
promises to pay. One night Rowe was
called out during the absence of the
landlord and did not return. Day after
day passed and the doctor was still
absent Some of his possessions remain
ed at the hotel, however, and after a
while a whisper about foul play start
ed and grew with repeating.
VISITED BY NIGHT RAIDERS.
Meanwhile, MIR. King had disposed
of his hotel at Oxford and taken charge
of lanyard or some other property at
Indian Creek, a few miles from La
fayette, where he was quietly follow
ing the even tenor of his way, Winding
his own affairs, and conscious Of no
wrong-doing. One night in February.
1861, as he was about to retire for the
night, a squad of men rode up to bis
house and surrounded it, There were
thirtytwo of them, and they belonged
to the horse companies of Benton,
Warren and Tippecanoe counties. The
spokesman announced that he had a
warrant for Kings arrest on the charge
Of horse stealing. Mr.. King proclaim
ed his innocence, but announced his
readiness to go with them. He was
roughly handled by his captors. and
soon learned that he had fallen into
bad hands. Once away from his home
he was accused Of making way with
DR.. Rowe. In vain he protested his
innocence, and steadfastly refused to
make confession. 1t was as dark as
dark could be. The spokesman could
not be seen, but he was distinctly heard
as he gave the order:
''String him up!"

Lafayette, Ind, September 20-The
widespread interest in the famous
Luetgert trial in Chicago, where cir
cumstantial evidence is relied on to
convict, has called to mind the case of
a resident of this country who once
was nearly hanged on circumstantial
evidence. The name of the man who,
although innocent, thus narrowly es-
capped being killed by mob is George
W. King, and he is an honored resi-
dent OF Tippecanoe county. Mr.. King
saved his life by securing the presence
of the man he was thought to have
murdered.
In the winter of 1889 Mr.. King
was proprietor of hotel at Oxford,

These thoughts passed rapidly
through his mind as he was hauled up
and he resolved to take his chances of
life by making confession. He signi-
fed is willingness to make statement
and he was let down. 1t required
some little time for him to recover his
breath and collect his thoughts and
