FORSTER CASE DELAYED.
Police Want to Learn Who He Is
and What He Has Done.

The case of Frederick NJ. Forster, who
says his home is in Lebanon, Tenn. and
who was recently arrested by central of
flee detectives upon charge of false pre-
lenses, was continued in Police Court this
morning until April g.
The continuance was entered. so 1t was
stated by the prosecuting authorities, for
the purpose of accommodating more evil
dence against the prisoner and to ascer-
tain who he really is. Since the day of
his arrest Forster has steadily refused to
say anything of himself and intimates
that he is an individual of exceptional
Importance.
Let me out of here now and by II
o'clock I'd have everything settled to
everybody's satisfaction" he said today.
And I'd leave the city and never return
again."
His arrest was primarily due to an eff
fort to cash fve-thousanddollar draft
a local bank. Inquiries were made
relative to whether it was good or not.
Upon the strength of information received
he was arrested.
Subsequent investiga lions by Detectives
Cornwell and Baur, who have been work
ing on the case, indicate the man has
passed a number of worthless checks in
different parts of the city.
