A MAN FROM KALAMAZOO
FLEECED OUT OF $es AND A COED
WITCH By A PSEUDO DETECTIYE.

The Westener Was Easy Game for n Not
Over Slick Swindler-Paid Tribute to
Escape from the Rascals Toils-The
Victim Represents u Slot Machine Com
pany.
New Haven may be slow town, but
at least one westerner has found out
that some people in it are too swift for
him. The fact was brought to his mind
last night in rather a costly manner.
The westerner gave the name of Nc
Donald. He claimed to hail from Kala-
mazoo, Mich, and said that he repre-
sented the Kalamazoo Slot Machine
company.
1t seems that one Of these machines
is located in Cahill's saloon at the cor
ner of Commerce and Whiting streets
and that Mcdonald went to the saloon
about o'clock last evening to see that
the machine was in proper working or
der. AS he was leaving the saloon, and
just as he stepped through the door
he was touched upon the arm by a
stranger standing there and informed
that he was under arrest. The strang-
er told Mcdonald that he was a de-
tective and proceeded to read q war;
rant. The psuedo-detective, for such
he was, walked his prisoner up to the
Hotel Savoy and there told him that he
might arrange matters so as to obviate
the necessity of taking him to the
police station. Mcdonald, dazed at the
suddenness of finding himself pris-
oner, was only too glad to get free and
jumped at any way out of the scrape.
His captor offered for $50 to let him
go free and hush up the matter for
which he was arrested and which Nc
Donald himself did not know, having
been too confounded to listen to the
| reading of the warrant.
Mcdonald after rummaging his pock-
etts could only find s2S but the alleged
detective very kindly offered to take
this and the $50 gold watch which McDon-
aid carried for security for the balance
OF S22 of the $50 to be paid. Mcdonald ac-
cordingly gave the man his watch and
went to Garde's hotel, where he was
stopping, to borrow the $22. When he
| returned to the Hotel Savoy he found
that the detective" had gone, also his
| SIS and gold watch. Then after des-
| perate thinking, putting two and tive
| together, and doing mental contortions
| the fact gradually dawned over him
that he had been feeced. He Went
| back to his hotel to think the matter
| over, He finally told Mr. Garde of the
affair and that gentleman informed the
police about 10 o'clock last night ol
what had occurred. Sergeant Cool
| sent Officer c. j. Egan out with Nc.
| Donald to nab the fly detective" but
up to a late hour he had not beer
found.

SOLDIERS ROUGH TRE4TMENT.
His Captain Admits Kicking and Prodding
Him with a Sword.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Private Charles
Hammond, U. S. A., gaunt and thin and
showing plainly the effects of his four
teen days confinement on bread and
water in the guard house at Fort Sheri-
dan, appeared before board of inquiry
to-day and then gave his story of the
circumstances Of his disobedicslce of
the orders of Captain Lowering and of
the subsequent drastic measures taken
by that official to enforce his COM
mands.
Under oath he testified: "On Friday
l refused to go to work and was or
dered into a cell. was told that 1
would have to appear before a court of
inquiry. 1 told the officer Of the guard
that they would have to carry me
there. Captain Lowering came with
two members of the guard and orders
were given to drag me out This was
done. AS I went through the guard
room, Captain Lowering put his heel
over my head and threatened to stamp
me in the face Then 1 was allowed to
walk back to my cell. Later Captain
Lowering returned to my cell with four
sentries and gave the order go in and
jerk that man out
1.-TWO of the sentries stepped in and
threw me to the floor. Captain Lover
ing kicked me in the side while l was
| down four times with his foot and as
was dragged over the door sill he gave
me violent kick on the shoulder. He
slapped me over the right side to the
left and prodded me twice with his foot
and gave me three more violent kicks
| about the shoulders. During this scene
| he cursed me constantly, using the
most vile oaths. Lowering then ordered
rope and gave orders to have my feet
tied. 1 placed by hands behind my
head. Then Lowering and the sentries
began to drag me and prodded me with
swords and then l was dragged to the
guard room and out to the porch, where
with one hard jerk they started me
down the stone steps on my back
across the road I was dragged over
pavements and roads to Company DIS
steps, up the steps, then down again
| across the pavement and finally up
into the adjutant's office. Lieutenant
Colonel Bainbridge ordered the rope
united just as I was called before the
court. AT o'clock asked to be taken
to the hospital, where the doctor
sponged the blood from the sword
stabs. On Monday was called before
Captain Richards and have since been
in solitary confinement on bread and
water"
Hammond was asked why he left his
barracks at Plattsburg, N. Y. The
witness replied: II had some private
business in Chicago and as the inspec-
tor general was at the barracks knew
| the request for release would be re-
fused. I had no intention of desert
ing and reported at Fort Sheridan so as
not to be so ranked
Captain Lowering was recalled. He
| admitted that by his orders Hammond
had been dragged from the guard
| house and that he had pricked him
with his sword; also that he had struck
| the soldier None of this treatment,
| Captain Lowering said, had injured
Hammond in the least. The methods
used were, in his opinion, necessary for
the discipline of the army.
The court then adjourned until to-
| morrow,
