 According to the latter, there are charges of a similar nature pending in cities from San Francisco to the At lantic coast. The couple had been traiied since September 18th and were about to leave here when apprehended. The young lady. who also says her name is Pullman, spoke freely, saying she met Mohler at a state fair in Col orado. and after becoming acquainted consented to travel over the country, paying their way from the proceeds of checks which were to be passed. The young woman named many places in which she said checks. had been cash ed.
 Mohler is said to have a wife in New York He claims Harry Mohler, a Pittsburg millionaire, as a brother, and says he was several years ago a stu dent at Princeton university and had also attended the military academy at West Point.

The young woman, who says she is 19 years old, expresses re- lief at their arrest.
