SCHEME TO CHEAT
BANKS BY WIRE
Telegraph Operator Obtains
$500 by Sending Forged
Message to FinanCierS

The ambitious scheme of William W.
Weston, alias Hunter Castleman, a for
mer telegraph operator, to secure large
sums of money by means of forged tel
egrams, terminated yesterday morning
in the arrest of its inventor in Los An
geles. The prisoner had operated in
this city, victimizing the Metropolis
trust and savings bank TO the extent of
$500, and intended to secure $1,000
more from other local institutions when
he aroused suspicion and was forced to
flee.
The circumstances leading to the ar
rest of Weston have caused detectives
employed on the case to investigate the
actions of c. L. Balliett. a telegrapher
in the employ of the Southern Pacific
in this city. and also to lay plans for
pany's messenger. said to be party to
the conspiracy.
On November 80 a telegram purport-
ing to be from the First national bank
in Lemars, Iowa, was delivered to the
Metropolis trust and savings bank in
this city. 1t directed the institution to
pay to William w. Weston $500 with
out demanding identification. and stated
that the sender would remit to cover.
The message had all the appearances
of being genuine and the money was
paid to Weston when he called an hour
later. He had previously told Cashier
f. r. Cook that he had been robbed and
was going to wire to relatives to send
him money. 1t was discovered later
that the message was forgery.
Balliett was seen at his home, 91S
Adeline street. Oakland. last evening.
and asked concerning his connection
with the affair He admitted that he
knew Weston intended to victimize
the local banks, and said that although
he had never seen the men before the
night OF November 20, Weston had
confided to him that ne intended to
secure 1900 by means of forged tele-
grams, which he had written Just pre-
viously in the Office. Balliett stated
that Weston showed him the tele-
grams, which were five in number. one
on the Metropolis Trust and Savings
bank, another on the Union State bank
and third on the National bank of
the Pacific To what banks the re-
naming two were directed he did not
remember.
