Tried to Get Money a Bogus Check
to Assist His Family.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 2L-Richard T..
Board, who was arrested Saturday for
attempting to pass forged check at Kahn
Brothers', has confessed his guilt. He
claims be did it to secure funds for his
family's support. As this is not his first
offense he will not get off lightly:
Mr.. Board came here from Kentucky,
where his father is q clerk OF the Circuit
Court. Richard was at one time a deputy
under him. He worked at the Judson
Iron Works under the name of Ward, but
claims it was the misunderstanding of the
bookkeeper that caused him TO appear
under an assumed name.
When ne got out of work Mrs. M. /.
Norman. near whom he resided, took
pity on him and sent him out to her ranch
to live. The letter, found on him when
arrested, had been left on the ranch by
Mrs. Norman. 1t was Kahn Bros bill
and was what he used to get his check
cashed. The check was signed L. E. Row
land, while the Rowland living near the
ranch and whom he expected the sigma
ture would be taken for its r. E., hence it
was no forgery. But he had indorsed it
with the name of Mrs. Norman. On this
count he will be held.

WILL WEYLER BE RECALLED?

London. Oct. 5.-A leading London
diplomat, discussing the crisis In span
ish affairs, said yesterday: j believe
the change in the Spanish cabinet viii
result in the recall of Captain General
Weyler from Cuba and the substitution
of Marshal Blanco for him, because
Sagasta personally dislikes Weyler.
sagasta will probably discuss Cuba with
General Woodford in more concilia-
tory manner than his predecessor, but
he is not likely to do more than that.
Sagasta has been informed on authority
that the Cubans will accept autonomy
and the withdrawal of the Spanish
troops, but doubt If Spain will consent
TO these measures"
