who has been the emperor's travelling
companion lately, took his place in the

When the count returned from his

FAKE IMMIGRATION
OFFICER IS JAILED
Thousands of Chinese Said to
Have Been Fleeced by
Clever Swindler

KANSAS CITY, Nov 10-Harry s.
Reardon, who has for the past two
weeks posed as official Chinese inter-
prefer of the courts of New York, and
has created more or less of sensation
among the Cinnamon of Kansas City
by representing himself as a govern
ment Inspector of Chinese, is under
arrest, and ii is possible that the mur-
der of Wong Chez Lock, a well to do
Chicago Chinaman, whose mutilated
body was found beside the railroad
tracks at Birmingham last Friday
morning, will be fastened upon him.
Reardon, alias Spencer, alias Taylor
and with several other aliases, proves
to be a most interesting parsonage. ac-
cording to information furnished the
police by Henry Fl. Molor, government
Chinese and immigrant inspector of
st. Louis, who arrived here today
From the data in possession of this
official it appears that Reardon is an
ex-convict. having served terms in at
least two prisons. His picture has
papers of New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, with warning to all
Cinnamon to look out for him.
That he IS man of undoubted in
telligence and cunning is shown from
his record, which reads like a chapter
from a yellow backed novel. Accord
ing to his own statement he was born
in Hongkong,. his father being Ameri-
can and his mother Portuguese He
came to San Francisco when a mere
boy and since that time. If information
In possession of the authorities is to
be believed, he has devoted most of his
time to duping and fleeing Cinnamon
in various part of the country.
1t has been his method to represent
himself as a Chinese government in
spector and to sell the more Ignorant
class of celestials "chock tee" or Chi
nese certificates of residence, which
they are required by law to have and
the absence of which makes them sub
ject to deportation. Frim his knowl-
edge of these men and his own all
legged connection, In many instances in
smuggling them into this country. it
has been his method to go to them and
threaten them with immediate arrest
unless they paid him certain price
for his silence and his worthless GER
tifcate.
In this way 1t is estimated that he
has f1eeced Cinnamon from the Atlantic
to the Pacific out of thousands of dol
lars, his price being gagged in every
case by what he estimated the victim
was able to pay.

Letter and Postal From Profess
sor Armes of Berkeley
Figure in Evidence
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE cAI,L


SANTA CRUZ, Nov. 1O-Mrs. Miner
courtroom today as her little 13 year
old son gave damaging testimony
against his mother in the divorce suit
of Dr. Henry Nelson Miner There
was clash among attorneys before
Dean Miner was permitted to testify
During the boys testimony disputes
took place between counsel, both sides
requesting the parents to sit at a dis
tance from the child. In reply to the
his mother to do wrong, and if so.
how, the boy replied that she had
kicked mems hats off and dressed UP
in mems clothes and smoked cigar
cites at Eagles Nest, the family resi-
dence in Berkeley, quite a number of
times.
The boy said that his mother had
refused to sleep with his father and
that she had been in bedroom with
other men with the door locked; that
she had treated him cruelty and failed
to return from New York when he
wrote her that he was sick
Sensations were constantly in order
when the dispositions of Mr. and Mrs
Olmstead of New York, relatives of
DR. Miner, were read Mrs Miners
demeanor and inclination for gayety
while in New York We're pictured un-
favorably, Mrs. Olmstead stating that
the defendant had said she had made
SIS 600 within so days selling supplies
and sapphire mine stock and had been
entertained at lunch by four men,
members of the concern which en-
ployed her, and who on this occasion
toasted her with wine and fell over
each other to pay her attention.
The witness also told of Il letter she
had read, written by Professor Armes
to the defendant, inviting her to visit
him in Boston and described picture
of Bunker Hill monument with the
words. Come and climb this with me-"
which was inclosed in the letter
Mr.. Olmstead testified that the de-
fentdant kept late hours and was some
times out all night while she was a
guest in his house in New York.
Attorney Albert Elliott, for Mrs.
Miner, caused a stir when he attempt
ed to force Postmaster Nicholson of
Ben Lomond to testify as to the dis
position of mail that came to Ben
Lomond for Mrs. Miner.
Judge Smith rebuked Elliott for pre-
suming to instruct the witness. and on
producing a copy of the postal regu-
lations Nicholson was excused from
giving testimony.
The Bunker hill post card on which
Professor Armes of Berkeley ex-
pressed he wished he and Mrs. Miner
could be in Boston and climb the
monument together is in the hands of
the plaintiff and will be produced at
the trial Some of the testimony is
revolving in the extreme.
Thomas Hessey of Ben Lomond tes-
titled that Dr.. Miner treated his fam
lily well while wing there. Mrs.
Miner probably ". tell her side of the
story tomorrow.
