MORRIS DEFALCATION
WILL EXCEED $4,000
MORE ATTACHMENTS PLACED
ON PROPERTY
Real Estate, Previously Decided to
Wife, Is PIastered with Mortgages
and Outlook for Creditors
Appears Poor
Especial to The Herald. ]

SAN BERNARDINO. Sept. 30.-Two
more attachments were placed against
the property of Attorney Cramer B.
Morris today, they being for $1,000 by
c. A Adams, as guardian Of Julia
Hagermaster, and for $500 by f. Stone.
While there has been rush on the
rsTt of his dupes to get to cover by
the attachment route, there is little
prospect that they will gain anything.
The propery which stood in the name
of Morris, and was decided by him to
his wife before he left, is plastered
with mortgages for all its worth, and
unless some other plan is developed
there will be little for the creditors.
Mrs. Morris, when her husband first
disappeared. said his obligations would
be paid in full, but 1t is believed she
did not know the real condition of af-
fairs. He has defrauded people out of
more than $4,000, his favorite victims
being widows and orphans. However,
Mrs Morris had wealthy relatives and
they may come to her relief.
The Death Valley Alcavada Mining
company seems to have suffered to
some extent through Morris opera
toins. One deal has already come to
light in the sale of team for $500 by
which it is said the company is out
$400.
The extent of Morris crooked deal
ings, which must have extended over
a periodNof ten years, Is amazing, es-
pecielly when 1t IS considered that he
never has been caught. His present
whereabouts are still a mystery,
though there is a growing suspicion
that his relatives know where he is.
The officers, if they have any clue,
are not talking about it.

PECK MUST
SERVE THREE YEARS
STRONG PLEA FOR PROBATION
DISREGARDED
Judge Declares That Such a Scheme
Could Not Have Deem Carried
Out by a Drunken
Man
Especial to The Hernld.l

SANTA ANA. Sept. SO.-Attorney
Wilfred NJ. Peck of Los Angeles, who
pleaded guilty to uttering fictitious
check and receiving the sum of $500
thereon from the First National bank
here last month, was sentenced today
to serve three years at San Quentin.
Judge Hunsaker of Los Angeles made
a strong plea for a probationary sem
tence, and Peck also spoke in his own
behalf, asking to be allowed to go on
parole. Peck blamed all his troubles
on the set with which he associated in
Los Angeles, and told the court he had
learned to drink intoxicating liquors as
the result of keeping such company
Peck admitted having uttered more
than one fictitious check, but assured
the court that he never did such a thing
except when under the influence of
liquor. Judge West read from a tran
script of the evidence to show that
such a scheme as Peck planned and
carried out here required a clear hand
for its successful working and openly
expressed his doubt of Peck's story of
always being drunk when he did his
crooked work.
