BLAMES RACE TRACK FOR
LANDING HIM IN PRISON
Los Angeles Man Alleged to Have
Put Six Fictitious Checks in
Circulation

PASADENA, March Extracting his
arrest to his passion for playing the
races, John T. Waehrer of Los Angeles
lies tonight in the Pasadena Jail, hav-
ing been arrested this afternoon by
Chief H. II. Favour of the local po-
lice force on charges of having ut
tered forged checks in this city. The
police say the prisoner has confessed
and told how he spent his entire saw
ings, added to what he got on the bad
checks passed in this city, at the Santa
Anita track.
Waehrer is said to have passed six
fictitious checks in this city. The one
which proved his undoing, and that
through a curious coincidence, was
cashed March 20 at the store of the
North Pasadena Cash market, owned
by T. A. Thalheimer Here Waehrer
bought a small package of meat Civ
ing in payment a check for $3.50,
bank of Los Angeles, signed by George
b. Ellis and Endorsed by w. c. Ban
ming. After leaving the store he gave
the meat to a small boy. telling him to
take 1t to certain address.
The boy found the address was that
of his own home and his father de-
manded explanations at the market.
They knew nothing about the meat be-
ing sent to that particular house, but
a description of the man who had
given 1t to the lad recalled the check
cashed and an investigation revealed
its Worthlessness.
Since that time several other grocers
have been victimized, among them the
Peoples grocery in East Colorado
street and the North Side Peoples
market, where a check for $26 was
cashed.
Waehrer is a young fellow, well
dressed and of refined appearance. He
says he came to California from In
dianapolis, where he has a sister, and
has been living in Los Angeles since
December. His Los Angeles address
he gives as the Welland, $40 South
Broadway. He declares a partner, for
whom the police are searching, and
who is believed to have gone to San
