in Jail recently on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses from
an Upland man. On that charge he was
finally released, as the case was settled.
At the time of Mortons arrest on that
charge by Sheriff Ralphs at Marvel

in Morton's appearance and the descrip-
ton given by Dreascher of his as
sailant An attempt was made then "a
connect Morton with the crime. but TIC
officers were unable to succeed, as
Dreascher had left the city and his
whereabouts could not be learned.
Word has been received now from
Dreascher, who Identifies Morton's pic
lures as the man who robbed him. On
receipt of this word from Dreascher
Morton was at once placed under ar
rest by the sheriff.

there will soon be installed a Ferris
