TERLINDEN SHIPPED HOME.
WILD PRINCE HENRY TAO TO
STORY OF MS EXTRADITION
which Was Really Normal Enough said
TO Have Attempted Both Escape and
suicide on the Train That Landed
HIM Here From Chicago Yesterday.

WINCH vas ueaiIy NORMAL EnOukn- Seiu
to Have Attempted Both Escape and
suicide on the Train That Landed
HIM Here From Chicago Yesterday
A man who represented himself as j. p
Bradford, manager of the Illinois Detective
Agency OF Chicago, was around town last
night with a new kind OF Prince Henry
story.
According to the story told by Mr.. Brad
ford, Gerhard Terlinden, a native OF Ober-
hansen. Germany. was shipped back 70
that country yesterday a prisoner TO stand
trial for the theft OF 500 900 marks by forged
bank checks. He had been arrested In
Milwaukee last summer and si26 900, which
would be about 500, 900 marks. was found
on deposit In a Chicago bank. He resisted
extradition. and at this iuncture Prince
Henry comes into the story.
Prince Henry happened along in WASH
ington. and, knowing Of the case in Ger
many, lent his aid, got the ear Of Chief
Justice Fuller OF the Supreme Court and
from him quickly obtained extradition
papers.
Terlinden We Drought from Chicago
and arrived here yesterday, 30 the story
told by Bradford went. He was accom-
panied by detectives and tried twice to
escape Oh the train. Failing to do so, he
tried suicide. He failed In this, too, and
was landed safely on the steamship Dresden,
which sailed yesterday afternoon from
Hoboken for Bremen.
It's too bad to spoil the Prince Henry
story, but, IA might be surmised, the case
came before the court in the normal way.
Terlinden set up that when the German
Empire was formed the treaty between
the United States and Prussia was multi
fed. Chief Justice Fuller ruled that the
treaty still held good. The decision was
given the day Prince Henry arrived in
Washington.
MILWAUKEE. Wis. March ls.-Gearhard
Terlinden was arrested here Aug. 2, at the
instance of Consul DR.. Viewer of Chicago,
IL is alleged that he committed forgeries
amounting to $3.50 600 before leavingGer-
many. He was President Of the Terlinden
Stock Company and had borr wed ex-
tensively from various banks OF Berlin
and in order to raise some $500 900 to pro-
mote enterprises which he had on hand,
Issued bonds TO that amount TO English
banks.
The German bankers protested against
his patronage of foreign bankers and de-
manded that a part Of the loan be given to
them, threatening to call payment OF his
outstanding obligations TO them. Accord
to the German bankers, and shortly after
ward Terlinden left for this country II
was discovered that the numbers on the
bonds thus issued were duplicates OF the
English issue. Terlinden upon his arrest
here denied hat the certificates were made
by him or that they were made with his
knowledge.
