RESIGNED LAST APRIL,
But SOuthaIl Appears to Have Been
Busy Ever Since.

But SOuthaII Appears to Have Been
Busy Ever Since.
Special to The st. Paul Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 23-At the
office of the government engineers It
is stated that Southall resigned last
April and that up to that time there
was not much evidence of irregularity
in the st. Paul office. 1t seems that
Southall took from the army building
at st. Paul a large quantity Of gov
eminent stationery. in the shape of
time checks and vouchers, and appears
to have made large use of 1T since.
1t is the unanimous opinion of gov
eminent officials that the banks must
be losers. Officials of the comptrollers
office. while they have no direct infor-
nation about the matter, believe 1t is
similar to that Of the payment of a
forged check by bank, and do not
think the government can be held re-
spOnsible. The comptroller will I'M
doubtedly be called upon by the de-
partment Of justice to investigate the
affairs Of these banks to determine
their exact condition in the matter
The first hint of these swindles came
to the war department six weeks ago,
and Acting Secretary Meikeljohn re-
queSted the department Of justice to
make an investigation. About the same
time reports of similar frauds on banks
in New England came to the depart
ment, but so far these reports have not
been substantiated. It Is doubtful II
any parties connected with these
frauds can be prosecuted by the gov
eminent but they can be easily reach
ed as state offenders, for obtaining
money under false pretenses.

Mr.. Southall is one of the most
genial gentleman 1 have ever known.

owing to his trouble, l am still his

help him in any legal difficulty which
may arise"
Mine on the Mesaba.
1t is believed that Southall put some
Of the money he realized from the time
checks in an iron mine in the Mesaba
district above Duluth. He and his
partner, Sterling S. Smith, had a mne
there which they were trying to sell
to Carnegie. They had found two veins
of iron and were to find third before
Carnegie would take the mine. This
required money TO work 1t, but they
,,Were certain to net about a hundred
thousand dollars by the deal and they
were anxious TO keep the mine going.
In order to get money for that purpose
S0uthall issued the time checks. But
he did not realize his expectations re-
,garding the mine. For some reason
sCarnege did not buy it and the deal
fell through. All the money spent on
the mine was lost.
But in the autumn SouthaIl got back
some Of the money by fortunate wheat
Speculation, but he afterwards dropped
dit all in stock transactions.
! The most surprising thing about the
swindle is that L was not discovered
Eby the local business men, who were
supposed to keep track of river and
harbor appropriations. and should have
known that time checks were out
greatly in excess of the sums allowed
by congress.
A number Of local men did inquire as
TO the value of the checks, but they
made the mistake of going to Southall
himself for information. SouthaN nat
Irally said the checks were as good
las gold, and they went away perfectly
satisfied. IF Southall had told them
THAT the checks were fraudulent, the
bankers would not have bought any
more.
1t is understood that Southall is a
native Of Mississippi, and that he lived
a number of years in Tennesse. He
came to st. Paul in 1882
His home at St. Anthony Park Is one
of the handsomest IN that section Of
the city.

How He Did 1t.

not require any books. No pay roll

made payable in thirty or sixty days,

payment he sold another lot. for which
