Arrested for Forging Railroad Bonds

Chicago, June 14.-Perry Lee Downs.
alias Phil Davis, lieutenant colonel of
the BLU and Gray Legion, has been
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Lee, charg-
egg with forging railroad bonds to the
value of $3.50. 900. The sheriff acted on
requisition papers from Governor Tan
ner and the governor of Maryland.
Downs is a relative of General Fitz-
hugh Lee and Jefferson Davis. He was
taken to Baltimore by W. B. Lyon.
special messenger of Maryland's gov
ernOr, who came to Chicago to per-
sonally effect Downs arrest. The al
legged forgery occurred three years
ago. Up to three years ago he was
above reproach, but it is said gamb-
ling caused his downfall. He sauan-
dered his fortune at the gaming table,
h officials say, and in order to re-
coup himself committed forgery after
forgery until the amount he had OBJ
tanned in this way became so large
that to avoid arrest he fed without
notifying his family.
Downs is credited with having a re-
markable record as a duellist. In Chi
cago. to hide his identity, he is said to
have affected many eccentricities Of
personal appearance. notably wearing
his hair falling to his shoulders.
