their purchase at certain price.
Afterwards the note was paid and the

FORGED CHECKS d ~
BY THE WHOLESALE
P. d. REISER VICTIMIZED MANY
PEOPLE AND THE POLICE ARE
LOOKING FOR HIM.

The police are very anxious to know of
the whereabouts of one p. d. Reiser, a
smooth individual who seems bereft of
that ~disagreeable characteristic known
as a conscience, and who in consequence
cares little what he does, so long as it
rebounds to his pleasure and profit and
does not result in landing him in Jail, and
while his operations in this city We're of q
kind that would put him behind the walls
of the state penitentiary for a long time,
he has tempered his indiscretions with
prudence, and when his shady transac-
lions came to light a few days ago was
not to be found, and had put many miles
between himself and the field of his op-
erations.
Reiser came to Butte about q month
representing himself as a speedy
stenographer." If he had omitted the
syllable 'steno" from the appellation
the resulting words, although twisted
somewhat in the spelling, would have
fitted him to a nicely, and branded him
for what he was-a speedy CRATER" He
called at the Office of Welcome & Roote
and applied for employment. Mr.. Roote
told him that the firm was not in need of
a stenographer at that time. Reiser put
up such a hard luck story that Mr.. Roote
gave him 81. During the succeeding days
he managed to beg and borrow a sum
a~ggregating SIS or $40 from the attorneys,
and, like the cat, always came back, until
finally they told him that they could give
him no more. !.q.
A few days ago Mr.. Roote was notified
that a numbe of checks, and all drawn
in Reiser's favor, had been presented to
w. A.. Clark & Bros bank, and in each
nocn thn haply InI yof,,coJ -, ~,
the checks, the paying teller being of the
opinion that the signatures were not
genuine. An investigation followed speed
lily. One check had been cashed by Mrs.
Granville Stuart, landlady of the Dorothy
block. 1t was for $4S, and had been tend
cred Mrs. Stuart in payment for two
weeks lodgings; the difference being S23,
which Mrs. Stuart had paid Reiser. An
other check was given to the madame of
the Irish World in payment for a tender
lOin entertainment which was partici-
pated in by a number of Reiser's friends.
The check exceeded the bill by $22; and the
difference was paid to Heiser. Later de-
~velopments disclosed the fact that Reisel
had succeeded in inducing a number of
other individuals to cash his forgeries.
His swath was wide Then it was deter
mined to apprehend him. A warrant was
issued for his arrest. But he was con-
sDicuous by his absence.
A few days ago Reiser called at the
office of w. F.. Carroll in the Hennessy
block. He was after employment, and
succeeded in interesting Mr.. Carroll in
him. The net day he called again. The
attorney was out, and Reiser, as has since
been learned, seated himself at CAROLS
desk. A few moments later a client called
to pay a bill. Re!.er represented himself
as Mr.. CAROLS stenographer, and coolly
wrote out a receipt. 1t is needless to
state that Mr.. Carroll did not get the
money.

SHE WAS VERY CAUTIOUS.
Hulda Johnson Howard Declines to
Answer QUESTION: in a Sensa-
tional Suit.

OAKLAND, Feb. Mrs. Hulda John
son Howard refused to answer certain
questions to-day in the suit Of G. H.
Francoeur against Mrs. Gertrude K.
Jones, for the recovery of $500 on a note,
stating that she based her refusal upon
the constitutional provision that she
might incriminate herself. She is now
the wife Of Jack Howard, who was tried
and acquitted of the murder of her sister
Annie Johnson. She was similarly
charged at that time, but her case was
dismissed, and she was represented then
by II. n. Beatty George II. Francoeur
and II. A. Luttrell.
The contention of the defense in the
present suit is that part of the money
obtained from Mrs. Jones went to pay
the three attorneys in defending Hulda
johnson and Jack Howard, and that Z.
Norwood Jones was the victim of a con-
spiracy on the part of Francoeur and
Beatty; that these attorneys assumed
that Jones, who is the present defendant S
ex-husband, was the cause of Annie
him it would require considerable money
to keep him out OF jail.
When this afternoon Attorney de Cola
on behalf of the defense, asked Mrs.
Howard whether she did not, ten DAYS
after the murder trial, in a conversation
with her mother, say that she and Jack
Howard had stood trial for Jones and
were paid for it, Attorney Prick, on; be-
half of plaintiff, objected and was sus-
tainedA All such questions were objected
to, and in each instance the objections
were sustained. The case goes on again
tomorrow.

HOMER SEEKS RELEASE.
Writ of Habeas Corpus to Be Heard
This Morning.

OAKLAND, Feb. 2-Attorney w. H.
O'Brien sued out a writ of habeas cor
pus to-day on behalf of Frank T. Homer,
who is awaiting trial on a charge of en-
bezzing a printing press, preferred by
a Miss Burdick The writ will be heard
before Judge Hall at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The ground on which Homer will seek
his liberty is that he is being held with
out probable cause. He says he can show
that he gave his old press in part pay
ment for the one alleged to have been en-
bezzled, and therefore held an interest in
the same; that the remaining value of the
press in dispute is also his. in view of the
fact of back wages due him from Miss
Burdick for services rendered in print
ing for her bogus lottery tickets for sew
eral years, and finally that Miss Burdick
did not complain until after Homer. re-
alizing the illegitimacy of the printing
contract, had refused to print any more
tickets. Homer has been unable to Sc
cure bondsmen so far and declares that
his sole purpose in seeking his freedom is
TO enable him to secure work that he
might care for his wife and four little
children. who for the past few days have
kept body anil soul together through food
furnished by prisoners at the County Jail.
