WRONG MAN IN JAIL
ON SERIOUS Charge
Identified as Person Attempting to Pass
Check But His Double Proved the Man

G. w Mexican. the electrician for
the Barnes Amusement company,
who was arrested Wednesday after
noon on the charge OF attempting to
cash worthless check, is now free
man and In his stead In a cell In the
city bastile, sits Leo. Burger, Of this
city, charged with the same crime.
Shortly after the former was arrest
ed, the owner and manager OF the
show together with Chief of Police
McGoyern and odicer Geo Evans
went to the jail and after an extended
interview with Mexican. who main
tanned that ne was innocent, were
convinced that the young man had
told the truth. and that he was not
the party wanted for the act commit
ted, so the officers set about to locate
their man.
The officers iabored hard and It
was not until this morning that they
landed their man, but the chief final
ly located him at the Idaho hotel and
confronted him with another check
sent to w. A. Rutherford from the E.
C. Taylor company Of st. Louis in the
sum OF $50. This particular check
Burger had not had eashed. but got
it. after which he returned It to the
owner. saying that It had been left
in the mail box at his home by mis-
take, and he had opened It.
Burger. however, told several Diff
ferent stories TO the police authorities
before the last, which Is believed to
be the true one In this manner
the chief got the young fellow to par
TALLY admit possession OF the check
for which Mexican had been arrested
and which he attempted TO have
eashed at Fudge & Kercheval's. later
at Geo. Ford's and then gave It to a
friend to be taken to Carlson Z
Johnsous, where be thought he could
get the money on It.
Burger admits that he went TO
these places. but denies trying tn
have the check eashed. but the evi-
dence is 30 strong against him that
Postofiee Inspector Fullenwider has
been sent for, and the case will in all
probability be made q government
one. 1t is alleged that Burger stole
the letter which contained the check
from the postofiee on last Monday
night, which had been mailed by an
employe at the Exchange Nationsl
bank, addressed TO the American
Trust company.
Burger resembles Mexican In APP
pearanee and In Identification one
could easily have been taken for the
other. The latter was pleased to
know that he had proven bis limo
eence and was able - show the
authorities that be was truthful In
his statements upon being arrested.
