George B. Gait, the alleged noble
man who has been confined in the

charge of forgery was taken to Spo-
grafton Inspector T.. l.. Wells from
which place he will be sent east and

son of wealthy Britishers and was
ways. That he did not succeed in this
is apparent from glance
at him and his condition gradually
went from bad to worse. Finally
wishing to return to his fatherland
but not having the necessary where
withall, he deliberately planned a for
gerry so that the government authori-
ties would deport him. Though hav-
ing requested it's agents to do so pre-
viously, they would not consent to the
plan until finally forced to take this
measure under the federal laws. This
law states that if a foreigner commits
any depreciation within the space of
three years after landing he shall be
deported.
When in Spokane, Gait will be plac-
ed under the supervision of federal
,officers who are in charge of an en-
