years and then three additional years
at the conclusion of his sentence, it
was many years later that he was
again in the tolls for forgery. Be
cause of the fact that his attempt
to obtain money by illegal means did
not prove successful. he was sent to
the Montreal Jail for a sentence of
six months for attempting to defraud
the Sovereign bank of Montreal. This
sentence was imposed on May 23
1906. and was to begin from January
/ Of that year which made his con-
finement there but brief.
Meets with Hardebeck.
Soon after becoming again a free
man. West returned to Chicago
where he engaged in several odd pro-
LESSONS and trades and soon became
a convert to the jewelry business. 1t
was not long after this that he be-
came enamOred of the woman, who Is
now his wife and was married to her
about two years ago. His close friend
ship with Judge ]. B. HardebeclI
came about this time and after a
short time they both engaged in the
hardwood business operating in Indi-
ana. This business after being given
a thorough airing proved 10 be unre-
munerative and they afterwards dis
solved the partnership in the hard
wood and finishing company.
Keeps Wife In Dark.
Less than n year ago West decided
that the life of a commercial travel
er would be to his liking and he &C
cordingly secured an agency for I
wrench manufacturing firm for whom
he worked but a short time. His in
come was insufficient to meet the
demands made upon his purse and IL
is claimed that he again resorted 20

than adept and although the opera

ed manner, will bring to light a seem
ingly inherent trait that tended to
lead him to adopt this unlawful plan
OF enriching himself with worldly
goods. AS, a boy in his early teens he
was kept well within reserve by fam
ilv Influences but at the tender age
of II years he manifested for the
first time the dominant trait which
has since so strongly featured his
career.
His first appearance in the public
criminal record, according to the data
which the Pinkertons now have On
his career, came in April, 1890, when
he was sentenced from Onondago
county, New York, TO the New York
state reformitory at Elmira On this
occasion the records show that this
man was convicted of forgery in the
second degree. His sentence here
was not of long duration and soon he
was again involved in the worlds
work
His Second Sentence.
The imprint which was made upon
Vests mind through his confinement
in the state reformatory seemed to
affect him at least temporarily, for It
was several years before he was again
in the criminal lime light The next
occasion had its origin in the same
county from where he was sentenced
to the New York state reformatory
for a term of five years, the charge
being forgery in the second degree
The sentence was heavier than tim
first one. the authorities taking his
second conviction more seriously. In
addition to receiving this sentence
for five years, another was imposed
upon him of three years, the serving
OF which was to begin Immediately
after the expiration of the first SEN
tence. This was on April II. 1896.
Two More Convictions.
Further assertions were made by the
PinkeFtors in regard to the criminal
record Of west. Although he was
