Penitentiary Staring the Rev. Dr..
G.T. Howard in the Pace.
FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE
HE MADE A WHOLESALE BUSI-
NESS OF SWINDLING.
Is Doctor Of Divinity, a Lawyer
and An Editor, a Persuasive Ora
tor and a Graceful Writer-In the
Clutches of the Postal Authorities
Story of His Operations.

Washington, Sept. 16.-An accom-
plished swindler. shrewd confidence
man and a fugitive from justice for
years, the Rev. DR.. G.. T. Howard, was
captured today by Postoffice Inspectors
Baird and Gould at Jackson, Miss. A
telegram to the postoffice officials re-
ceived late this afternoon announced
HowardS arrest and conveyed the in
formation that the inspectors would
take him by the first train to Column
bus, o., to serve out the uneXpired term
of his sentence in the Ohio peniten-
tiary.
Howard escaped from the peniten-
tiary about two years ago, after having
served three years of nine-year SEN
tence for using the United States mails
for fraudulent purposes.
Howard, who equipped himself with
half a dozen conventional names is a
man of more than ordinary intelligence,
fine education and great energy and is
a persuasive orator and graceful writer.
He is a doctor of divinity and a lawyer
and was the editor of two or three re-
ligious publications. His conviction
necessitated two long trials, the first
of which resulted in a jury disagree
ment. Witnesses were subpoenaed
from all parts of the country and Eu
rope among them being the Hon. Rob-
ert T. Lincoln, minister to Great Brit
ain and the Hon. John G. New, consul
general to London.
How He Operated.
BY sending broadcast over this coun-
try circulars representing that the re-
cipients were heirs to estates in vari
Gus places in Europe, Howard, under
the name of e. Ross, manager of the
European claims agency, obtained re-
mittances of $25 from many of his vic
time on the pretext that he would
prosecute their claims to the estates.
operating from London
under the name of William Lord Moore
Howard represented to his correspon-
dents that Ross had died and in hun
dreds of instances he obtained another
of $25 each.
Returning to New York, Howard sent
out fraudulent DEGREES purporting to
emanate from a supreme court of chan
Gerry. The DEGREES designated John
Leger, the name Howard was then US
ing, to issue possession papers in each
case to persons entitled to the estates.
Under the DEGREES, on the payment by
them of $35 taxes due. This scheme
netted Howard thousands of dollars.
Early in 1894 Howard was convicted,
fined $1,000 and sent to the Ohio peni-
tertiary for nine years and one month.
Since his escape he has been operating
in the west, his victims principally re-
siding in Great Britain. He is regard
ed by the postal authorities as one Of
the most dangerous confidence men
and Swindlers in the country.

1.-THE supreme court, in deciding the
Knight case, did not say that a broader
law than the present one would be un-
constitutional. 1t is true there are
things in the decision which lead to
that, but until that question is present
ed to the court you cannot say that the
court has passed upon it.
But, suppose the law is passed, and
is held unconstitutional, then we can
amend the constitution. The gentleman
suggests that 1t is a difficult thing to
get two-thirds of both houses to favor
amendment and three-fourths of the
states. That is true, it is a difficult
thing, but if the people want TO destroy
the trusts you can get two-thirds of
both houses and three-fourths of the
states.
But what is the alternative? Sit
down and do nothing? Allow them to
trample upon you and ride rough shod
