When the detectives reached Port
land with their prisoner. they received
Instructions from Inspector McCafferty.
who was acting in conjunction with
District Attorney Jerome, to take Green
to San Francisco and leave him there
while they proceeded TO Los Angeles,
where HaVenith was supposed to be
hiding. After placing Green in the care
of the San Francisco police, the two
detectives hurried as fast as they could
TO southern California. They had little
difficulty in locating their man at the
HOllenbeck hotel, one of the most fash
iOnable in Los Angeles. As in New
York, Havenith was trying TO get into
society, but he was also playing the
races with such bad success that when
he was arrested he was almost at the
end of his resources. He had less than
$780, The man was taken to San Fran
cisco. From that point the detectives
started eastward with their prisoners.
Havenith is 81 years old and a highly
educated man. He came to this coun-
try several years ago and represented
himself to be a German baron. 1t is
probable that he is a member of the
German nobility, as the New York po-
lice have not learned anything tending
TO disprove the mans claim to the
title. Havenith also had letters of rec
ommendation from the Krupps, the ia
nous German gun manufacturers In
these letters he was described as a
former lieutenant in the German army.
He made some acquaintance in the
New York four hundred, but, having
slender resources, was forced to find
some work to do to keep the pot boiling
until the right heiress came along, He
succeeded in getting the position of pri-
vate secretary for Mr.. Mallett. He
proved useful man to the New York
contractor. as he speaks several Ian
guages and his training as an army Of
ficer fitted him to quickly grasp the
details of the affairs of his employer.
Disappearance of Havenith.

nothing TO stain the name he bore. Nal
lett had complete confidence in his sec
rotary He did not think that the fine
trotting horses behind which Havenith
drove through Central park had been
purchased with his money, or that
Havenith's steam yacht, the Wasp, rep
resented a deficit in the secretary's ac-
counts. But the end came at last. The
expected heiress was slow in yielding
TO the fascination of the baronial title
and one day Havenith disappeared. In
yestigation showed that he had oper-
ated very much as Green had done. He
is accused of forging Malletts name to
checks received through the mail and
depositing them to his own account. He
was traced from New York to Chicago,
then to Salt Lake. then to San Fran
