CLAIM USED MAILS
TO AID IN FRAUD
KRUGER PLACED UNDER ARREST


Charged with violating section
$3.50 Of The statutes Of tie United
states and with using Gle United
states mails for the purpose Of de-
trauiing the Washington Nursery
company Paul G Kruger was plac-
Cd under arrest Tuesday afternoon
by Deputy United States Marshal
Short Mt Kruger gave the rel
quired bond Of $500, the signers
being II. D. Winchester and Walter
J. Read. and was released. The
trial will be had at the May term
of the federal court. Mr. Kruger
was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Lee C. Dele, before
whom he had a right to a prelimin-
AIRY hearing. This he waived. how
ever.
The information alleges that the
accused sent false and fictitious
sery stock to the Washington Nur-
sery company at Toppenish, by
which company he was employed as
solicitor or salesman, on commits
sion. 1t is affirmed that one of these
orders was for Joseph St Auburn"
for 1925 worth of stock. and an
other for &C L. Montgomery" for
$195. Both, it is stated, were ac-
cepted as genuine by the nursery
company, and the salesman's COM
mission paid on them, although the
trees were not to be delivered until
next spring. In the course of sub
sequent business the nursery COM
pany is said to have discovered
that the names given We're ficti-
tious, and the result was Mr..
Kruger's arrest yesterday by the
federal authorities upon information
furnished by the Washington Nur-
sery company.
Mr.. Kruger was inclined to look
upon the matter lightly. He said
that the whole proceedings was
prompted by spite and jealousy.
His version of the matter as given
to the Herald is as follows:
"These orders that they refer to
were countermand orders. I acted
as agent for the Washington Nur
sery company and sent in the orders
they have mentioned, which We're
given me by people who afterward
moved away and left no address
My commission, amounting to
about s140, was paid me. When
the dispute over these orders arose
| offered to return the money paid
me as commission if the COMPANY
would return the orders to me. So
that l might find the parties and fill
the orders from nursery stock. They
agreed to do this and then I insist
ed on giving a secured note for the
amount of the commission, payable
at the time the trees would be deliv-
cred for spring planting l did this
in order 10 protect myself and pre-
vent them from filing the orders
and collecting for them. They re-
fused to do this. however, and
heard nothing further from them
until was served with the papers
today"
Mr.. Kruger does not deny that he
sent the orders or that he received
a commission on them. He insists.
however, that the orders were TAX
en- and sent in good faith. and that
he has been and is willing TO act on
the square and do what is right
with the nursery company.
