Chicago, Nov. l7.-Peter Van Wis

classed among the first of Chicago's
prosperous and reputable business

hours after his arrest, on his own ur-

less than four hours.
Taken in the midst OF business from
his office desk, at l72 Washington St,
shortly after the noon hour, Van Wis
singer, a venerable looking man, ap.
peared before the court and in tears
confessed that for from eighteen to
twenty years he had been obtaining
money through the sale Of forged doc
uments and that. though he had
bought back many of these spurious
instruments without detection. at
least 20 people would lose an aggre-
gate Of more than 100000 through
the paper which he has not yet re-
deemed.
In forging notes he declared he had
perfected a unique device. This con-
sisted of plate glass desk top so ar.
ranged that by an electric light
thrown up from beneath he could
readily trace from originals forged
signatures, onto worthless paper.
