FIVE YOUNG FORCERS.
An Organized Gang in Chicago
Brought to Grief
THEY WERE MULCTING THE RILLIONAIRES
The Police Had Been Camping on Their
Trail for Two Months, But It Took
Lynx-Eyed Cashier to
Catch Them.

CHICAGO, Jan. Five young men,
by their own confessions, organized
into band for the purpose of obtain
ing money, by forging the names of Chi
cago's millionaires to bank checks, are
under arrest at the Woodlawn police
station. The police have positive
knowledge that they have succeeded
in obtaining nearly $4,000, They were
caught Wednesday after two months
of hard police service, and only then
because bank cashier discovered that
an unusually clever signature to Il
check for 500 was a forgery, These
are the prisoners:
Arthur l.. Foreman, alias Howard
f. Stone, confessed forger and leader
of the gang; Elmer Russell, Edward
l.. Root, alias O'Rourke; Charles Me-
Cuen, William Bert A sixth mem ber
of the gang, whose name is supposed
to be Paul Moore, escaped. The plan
consisted In securing the signature of
a victim and then forging it at leisure.
A forged check bearing the name Of
G. +, Swift, the packer, and drawn for
81 200, was cashed by the National
Live Stock bank at the stock yards,
while other checks, ranging from $2,-
500 to $4,000, have been successfully
passed on other banks, with the sigma
ture of II, Weiskopf & Co., wholesale
grocers. Then the matter got into the
hands Of the police and their work re-
suited in the five arrests.
Capt Shippy secured confessions
from Foreman and Root. Capt. Ship
py secured a key from Foreman to a
safety deposit box in the Masonic Tenn
pie building and found there numer-
Gus checks bearing forged signatures,
but with no amounts filed in. Upon
these checks were the names of II. N
Higginbotham, Charles e. Reed,
of the firm of Reed, MurdocS
e. Co., Frost Bros. and others
Other incriminating evidence was Sc.
cured, together with papers indicating
that the forger band had secured be-
tween S., 900 and $4,000 in it's opera
tions, which are said to have been
going on for year. Little is known
of the identity of the prisoners except
as they have confessed to these recent
operations

INDIANA LEGISLATURE.
A Straw That Points to Fairbanks Elec-
tIOn as Senator

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. THE
sixtieth general assembly of Indiana
was called to order shortly before
noon. In the senate l,ieut..Gov.
Nye presided and in the house
Representative Petit was seated
by vote of 81 to Al Petit

which he received indicates that Fair
banks will easily be elected senator on
joint ballot, unless there is a great
change in the political wind between
now and January IL, the date on which
the vote for senator is to be taken,
Through some misunderstanding the
senate was called to order an
hour earlier than was intended and
when the acknowledgements raped
for order few republicans were pres
ent. The democrats threatened to or
ganize the senate to their own liking,
but the speaker declared motion to
adjourn carried, and the scheme was
headed off. The governors message

A PLEA OF GUILTY ENTERED INSTEAD.
The Sudden Change of Front in the
Noted English Criminal Libsl Case
Created Sensation at the
Old Bailey.

LONDON, Jan, 7-The spectators who
crowded the Old Bailey courtroom to
watch the proceedings of the action
for criminal libel brought by Lord
Russell against Lady Tina Scott, his
mother-in-law, John Cockerton and
Mr. Aylott, were treated to genuine
surprise Immediately after the court
was called to order Solicitor Walton
arose and announced to the court that
under the advice of counsel the de-
PENDANTS Withdrew their plea Of iusti-
fcation In uttering the libels COM
planned of by Earl Russell and pleaded
guilty as charged. The announcement
created profound sensation.
As soon as Mr.. Walton had ceased
speaking the judge announced that a
ecess would be taken and the prison
ers we're removed from the room and
the court cleared,
When the sitting was resumed the
prisoners were brought in. Lady Tina
Scott was in highly excited condi-
tiou, but Aylott and Cockerton
maintained an air of unconcern
Mr. Walton addressed the court,
saying that he had consulted
with his client Lady Scott, who had
left herself entirely in his hands. As
his lordship, the Judge, had ruled that
Kast, who had died in Holloway Jail
on December II, was the principal wit
ness in the case of the defense, as well
rs defendant, he said the plea of
justification must be Withdrawn. The
Jury then rendered formal verdict Of
guilty in the case of each Of the de-
PENDANTS, and the court announced
that sentences would be imposed upon
them Friday.
Lady Tina Scott was arrested on
October 10 last upon a charge of Grim
inal libel, brought by Earl Russell,
and next day John Cockerton, an en-
gineer, and Frederick kast, a groom,
were arrested in connection with the
case. Wm. Aylott was also wanted,
but he tfcd to Algiers to escape arrest.
Later however, he returned and sur
rendered himself for trial The
acts which the defendants had alleged
against Earl Russell were said to have
been committed on board the carl's
yacht, upon which Cockerton, kast
and Aylott were employed. On No.
vember 80 Kast was taken i'll with
pneumonia and died in Holloway Jail
on Decembe II, Lady Tina Scott hay
ing in the meantime been ill also. The
trial of the case was adjourned when
Kast was taken i'll and resumed on
January I.
