Muscatine Man Released from
Custody, Only to be Ar
rested Again
COURT MosELEvs TROUBLES
First Arrest Was for Mortsaeins Fie-
titious Property-Accused Now of
Filling Out Money Orders and At
tempting to Raise Money on Them
Moseley Protests His Innocence.

Muscatine, Jan. 13.-Court Moseley,
who was arrested on the night of Jan.
for nortgaging fictitious property. the
charge being brought by Attorney John
w. Mckee of this city, is again in trou-
BILE and is this time IN the clutches of
the United States authorities on seri-
Gus charge.
Some Of Moseley's family settled up
the other matter yesterday and he was
released on that charge, but was
promptly arrested again on charges of
the postal authorities, charging him
with violating the postal laws, it being
claimed he filled out number of money
orders and attempted to raise some
money on them. He was detected and
arrested in the stats court but there
was not sufficient evi1ence against him,
SO he was released.
About this time John Mckee had
Moseley arrested charging him with
nortgaging fictitious property. II
seems he represented to Mr.. Mckee
that he had some horses and one thing
and another and MOI tagged the same
for s25. Mossley did all this under the
name Of w. e. Kelley. Mckee sus-
pected him and upon investigation
learned sufficient facts to have him ar
rested. He was found on Jan. by Con-
stable Luther Woods. of this city,
broughtsto Muscatina and lodged in jail.
Moseley loudly claimed his innocence
and stated that they. certainly had the
wrong man. When the time for his
preliminary hearing before Justice ii.
S. Howe came around he asked that the
trial be postponed until his father could
come and release him. His father failed
to come and finally an offer was made
to- him that IL he settled up the entire
matter he would be released. He com-
municated with his father and brother
living near Let's, and last evening the
matter was adjusted and this morning
Moseley was released, only to be ar
rested once more by Sheriff Stuart on a
United States warrant from the postal
authorities.
The second charge for whiclThe is be-
ing held now is in reality the mrs.
offense OF all, the filing out of the
blank money orders, and the attempt
to secure payment on the same. The
postal authorities investigated the mat
ter and becoming satisfied he was the
man have arrested him. He will be
taken to Davenport today, where he will
have a hearing before Arthur G. Bush,
the United States commissioner at that
place. Moseley denies his guilt on this
charge.
