Loan Com anies Heavy Losers.

.TTI4 '
who has numerous aliases, was arrested
by Pinkertons at Greenfield, Ia, Fri
day on charge Of extensive land
mortgage swindles here and in Iowa
and Nebraska. Bonner's scheme, it is
alleged, was to forge deeds and abb.
stracts showing himself the owner Of
farms and then borrow money on them
from loan companies. The swindle for
which Bonner will be held occurred in
Fairfield, Ia, where, 1t is said. he beat
the Iowa State Savings Bank cut of
$500 on forged mortgage supposedly
on a farm he had bought from j. w.
Sinclair. Of Grand Junction, Col. His.
latest doings were reported from Falls
City, Neb., where he is alleged to have
perpetrated sWindle OF the same sort.
The American Bankers Association
took up the Fairfield case and its was
thru its efforts that the Pinkertons
were employed. Bonner is declared to
have secured So 100 from James u. Lom-l
bard here and to have taken in six
Iowa loan companies for sums ranging.
from $500 to 81. 100 cash.
Bonner made the mistake Of his life
when he tried his game on the Iowa
State Bank at Fairfield. This bank is
member Of the American Bankers
Association, which never ceases its
pursuit of a criminal. Thru the associa-
tion's efforts the Pinkertons were put
to work on the case and he was run
down. He turned his last trick, so far.
as is known, only about three weeks
ago.
From his swindling operations Bon
ner is supposed to have amassed quite
a fortune. Following is a partial list
OF the swindles said to have been per-
petrated in various parts of the west:
!. IT. Stillwell. Seneca, Kan $1,000

OF course no one knows just how
many OF his peculiar deals Bonner
made, as many who were caught did
not say anything about it. and others
perhaps do not know 1t yet. He swim
| died by means of forged notes and
mortgages. and some OF the victims
knew nothing of the character Of his
paper till they tried to collect it months
afterward. There may be more of them
who are yet to learn IT.

ONLY FRAGMENT
Evidence in Breakheart Hill
Farm Murder Case.
Entirely CircumstantiaI- -Postponement
Of Hearing May Be Asked.
The Prisoner Maintains Cool. Indifferent
Demcan0r.

Lynn, Mass. Oct. 23.-Scven DAYS
have gone over the heads Of the state
officers in their search for "A motive in
the murder of George l.. Bailey, the
lodge keeper of Breakheart Hill farm.
and there is only fragmentary evidence
entirely circumstantial, to show for
their work. Best, the farm hand and
male companion of Bailey. is locked
up in Jail but he maintains a cool de
meanor toward the officers and almost
an Indifference to the Succession of cir
cumstances which they are trying to
weave around him. After Bailey's dis
membered body had been recovered
from Floating Bridge pond, and identi-
tication made sure, it was supposed
that immediate developments would
show reason for the tragedy. perhaps
robbery or yet love affair. But today.
the seventh of the search, found the
officers busy gathering together ma
terial of various natures on which
there We're marks which might OF
might not be bloodstains, and which
are to be examined by expert micro
scopists. With Best prisoner, to all
outward appearances the officers are
yet unable to show what object he had
in having Bailey out OF the way.
The mystery of the murder, which
seemed unfathomable last Wednesday,
is not Yet dispelled, although each Sue
ceeding day has promised an important
find. Yesterday, the officers found what
they believe to have been a Ratchet
used in cutting UP Bailey's body, but
there is more anxiety to locate the
place at which the butchery occurred.
4 review Of the evidence on which the
government will base it's case points
strongly to the destruction by fire Of
nearly all the cotton and wooden ma
terial which became besmeared with
blood, when Baiey's body was dis
membered, and therefore. the search
for blood spatters is being made over
a considerable area in and around the
Breakheart Hill farm house. The pres
ence Of Miss Susie Young, the house
keeper. has helped the state and local
officers to a great extent in making
clear to them the change in conditions
in and about the farm. as compared
with those when she shared the house
with Bailey. NeiEhbOrhood interest IN
the crime remains keen to those VINO
have not decided for themselves that
the circumstantial evidence is proving
good evidence. In Bests case II Is
likely that the government will ask for
a postponement Of the hearing until
matters are in better shape fer pre-
Sentation.
