False Pretenses.

Frank Gillian Is a colored man, with a
particular fondness for high-priced whisky
AS q result he is now in jail awaiting trial
Wednesday in the Police Court on a charge
OF false pretenses. Until five weeks ago
Gillian was In the employ of Capt. Henry
May, and in that connection had occasion
to know that his employer had an account
at Magruders grocery establishment on
New York avenue.
Just twenty-eight times since his dis
charge from Capt Mays service has Gill
lam visited Magruder's. and each time he
secured a quantity of the finest liquor,
ostensibly for the household of Capt. May.
Gillian proceeded with his scheme cleverly,
not applying to the same clerk twice In
succession
Capt. May was somewhat startled a few
days ago when he noted an item on his
bill of 5000 for whiskies. He called the
attention OF Mr.. Magruder to the matter
and the latter, in turn. made a report to
police headquarters. Detectives Carter and
Gallagher were assigned to the case, and
they succeeded in locating Gillian in the
eighth police precinct. where a warrant
for his arrest on charge of threats was
in the hands of Policeman Hall for service.
The detectives and Policeman Hall arrested
the man and had him in court today, the
case being continued until Wednesday. Gill
lam secured goods from Magruder's on
tWenty-nine different occasions, and that
number of cases are pending against him.
