WRONG man
PHOENIX, ARIZ., GOLDBERG Is
NOT THE MAN WANTED
IN SPOKANE-ARRE
At LOS ANGELES.

Word has been received at the
sheriff's office that A. j. Goldberg,
wanted in Spokane for obtaining
goods under false pretenses, has
been arrested in Los Angeles, CAL,
and is being held there pending the
arrival of requisition papers.
Deputy Sheriff Clarence Long
went to Phoenix, Ariz., to secure
Goldberg, but it was found that the
man held there was not the Gold
berg wanted in Spokane.
Goldberg secured carload of
beer from Henry Seiffert, the local
agent for Olympia beer, and instead
of taking it to Oregon, as he in
formed the agent was the destina-
ton Of the shipment, took it to Mis-
soula, Mont, and sold it for $500.

Such was the statement made by
Mrs. Annette Wallace. mother. of
the little girl. who, resides at the
Sillman hotel, to a member of the
local police department this morn
Ing
THE idea that anybody tried to
kidnap Lora is absurd" said Mrs.
Wallace There is no reason on
earth why anybody would want to
kidnap her. They could get no
money out of me. My husband is
around Chicago somewhere, and he
certainly does not care enough
about our child to want to steal
her. Lora just happened to see a
drunken man on the street and she
ran into the house like many little
girls do. Some newspaper reporter
heard about it and faxed up the
story. There is absolutely no truth
in the report, and did intend COM
planning about it, but changed my
mind.

DIVORCE COLONY DOES

came to Idaho not for the purpose
of making a home, but to invoke
the aid Of the courts in securing
decree of divorce. The evidence,
Judge Wood says, plainly shows the
purpose of the plaintiff in attempt
ing to secure divorce is to marry
another woman. The testimony of
the defendant, he said, is worthy
of more credence than that of the
plaintiff, the former apparently be-
ing DESTROYS only of protecting her
good name and that of her chill
dren.

him back tonight. Faulkner gives
as his reason for not talking that
the police would get his baby and
return it to his wife, against whom
he makes dire charges of infidelity
The prisoner alleges that Mrs.
Faulkner is now living with an af-
finity in Seattle. He also admits
having lady FRIEND" but denies
that she is his affinity.
Faulkner has been arrested sew
eral times before for cruel treat
ment of his wife. His picture
now aAorns a section of the local
rogues' gallery and, according to
the police, he has served time at
New Westminster for wife beat
ing. A divorce suit is now pend
ing. Faulkner has been brought
into the local courts on complaint
of his wife several times, but she
always refused to prosecute him,
saying that if she did he would
kill her.
ARRESTED ON STREET.
The prisoner was arrested on
Tic oCIcSI uSIS ny DStSCIlNSS I1O-
gan and Thompson yesterday after
noon, on description furnished by
the Seattle authorities. Faulkner
was placed under arrest just II
minutes after the telegram from
the Sound city arrived at police
headquarters. The quick arrest es-
tablishes a record which has not
been beaten in several months.
Faulkner was picked up by the two
sleuths on Sprague avenue. He is
said to have been tried in Oakland
on a charge of forgery at one time,
but beat the case. The police be
lieve him to be one of the most
hardened criminals that has come
under their care for years.
While he tells many stories of
his wifes unfaithfulness, he de-
MES emphatically that he has ever
served time for treating her cruelty.
However, his story has little
weight with the police, as they
have his record. They are now try
ing to save the life of the baby,
which seems impossible, and the
officers are hopelessly searching
for the shack.
