NOT YET MAIERIALIzED
In the Meantime George Halternan Is
Held to the Grand Jury.

George Halterman was brought be-
fore Justice tombstone yesterday after
ternoon for preliminary examination
on three charges of forgery in the is
suing OF three checks bearing the
name Of y. Porter and for which he
ceived cash from l. d. Jones, r. a
Jones and The American Kitchen. AT
the time of the issuing Of the warrants
for the arrest OF Halterman II was
thought that the harness business of
the late y. Porter was still conducted
in his name and that the checks were
so signed. But it was learned yester-
day that that was not the case. There
fore the charge of forgery was dis
missed and the charge Of issuing 4
fictitious check was entered. on that
he was tried. The witnesses brought
out the facts already published re-
garding the distribution of the checks
The only defense was that Halterman
was not George Grammer the man
who uttered and endorsed the checks.
The witnesses however said that that
was the name by which they had
known Halterman and that they I'M
derstood to be his name when they did
business with him.
r. d. Jones said that Grammer or
Halterman had been hanging about the
saloon for some time and had es-
tablished a sort of an acquaintance
He represented that he was employed

by the Porter harness company and
one day he said that he was about e
receive a check for his wages; he ask
ed If he could get 1t cashed there. He
was told that he could and soon after
he brought il in.
Halterman still insists. though rath-
er weakly that Grammer is not crea =
ture of his Imagination hut has been a
resident of Phoenix for the last two
months. Yet he Is unable to name a
single person who ever saw him
though he claims to have been about
the streets and at various saloons with
him ever since he has been In town.
He was held TO the grand jury In the
sum OF 1890.
II makes no difference to Halterman
whether he is charged with forgery or
the issuing of a fictitious check The
penalty is the same in the case of con-
viction, from one to fourteen years in
the penitentiary.

II is pretty generally understood
that Mr.. Albright is the man who de-
serves the credit and praise for saw
ing the situation. and that his
straightforward dealing and business
like way of handling things has
brought about the agreements which
made possible the resumption OF the
work. Mr. Albright's action in this
matter is certainly very pleasing to
Phoenix people. The building has
from the first been constructed with a
view to having everything the best.
and while that may have been a little
expensive. without question the future
viii Justify the course
The building when completed Will
be one which Phoenix people will
view and direct attention To with
great civic pride. and will stand as
monument TO the enterprise and
laudable purposes Of John Noble in
erecting it. The effect of undertake
ing the completion Of the magnificent
structure will be to instill more conf
dence in business conditions here. and
inject a certain amount of red blood
into other enterprises and industries.
The results cannot be figured in dol

that they will be numerically large

The RESUMPTION OF
CONSTRUCTION WORK
Several Conferences Held Yesterday
and Conclusion Said to Be Final.

Harrison Albright. the architect on
the Noble building. last night before
departing for Los Angeles. gave to a
Republican reporter an authoritative
statement, that the construction work
on the building would be resumed on
Monday morning. that the structure
would be completed just as planned In
the beginning. that John Noble was
still the owner and would be when II
was finished. and no transfer of pos
session was TO be made Mr. AL
bright was confident that no hitch
would occur from now on TO delay the
work and everything would move for
ward smoothly as all necessary pre-
| liminary steps had been taken to that
end.
Taken as a whole and in part this
is the most cheering and welcome bit
Of news that has been conveyed to
the public for some time and sets at
rest the doubts and multifarious ru-
mors which have been afloat in PhOe-
nix for the past two weeks. There
were several conferences yesterday
among the interested parties. which
Included the representatives of nearly
all the contractors on the building. as
given In yesterday mornings issue.
The final meeting at Judge Arm
strong's office at : o'clock completed
the plans. and the papers incident
thereto were turned over to the prop
er parties.
1t is proposed to have the building
ready for occupancy by the Doris
Heyman Furniture company and

possibly within forty-five days. The
rooms will be enclosed so that goods
may be moved into them. The mate
rial to complete the roof is all here
and there is more than enough cement
for the rest of the work on the ground
so that this part can go ahead with
a vim. II is also stated on good au-
thority that the doors and casing have
been turned out and are ready in Los
Angeles for shipment when needed
and that the plate glass can be Sc
cured in sufficient time TO cause no
delay in enclosing Attorney J. b
