GREEG0R A WORTHLESS FRAUD
He Is Again Heard of Posing as a Re-
porter.

Superintendent of Police Qugley yester-
day received a report from Patrolmen Mont
gomery and Temple that James B. Greegor,
porter for the Journal. 1t seems he has
been laying around livery stable on Six
teenth street, between Delaware and Ala
bama street. Greegor is the fellow who ran
away to Chicago and Milwaukee with Nellie
Woodwork short time ago, was arrested
there for beating a hotel and returned on
money furnished by his father. The girl
left him when they arrived at the Union
Station and Superintendent Quigley COM
manded Greegor to let the girl alone. Gree
gor promised. but, as usual. his word proved
good for nothing, and he interfered with
the girl and paid colored boy to watch
her. He was arrested for lettering and
Judge Cox gave him 4 scathing rebuke. 1t
seems all this has done him no good and
the police think it will not be long until
he does something that will land him in the
workhouse or the penitentiary. Greegor
has given them more trouble than many an
older man. He was taken TO the police
station once and charged with a serious
crime, but he was released when prominent
men interceded for him.
Greegor last year falsely represented him
self as a reporter for the News and at one
time as a reporter for the Sentinel and at
tempted to work the theaters and other
places. He was exposed several times, but
he persisted in the fraud. Lately he has
discovered that a former reporter for the
sumed his name and is impersonating him.
1t Isl not known whether Greegor has sue
ceeded In benefiting by his impersonation,
but persons who come In contact with him
