GOLD BRICK
KING COPIED
SAID TO HAVE GARNERED NIL
LIONS Is LOCKED IN
JAIL,

CHICAGO, Sept, les. A. Porter
who is said to have garnered more
than $1,500,000 form the unwary Of
two continents In the last few years
by means of gold brick swindles and
confidence games, was locked UP in
Jail here tonight.
He was arrested today by o. F. De
Woody, division superintendent of the
department of justice, after being
sought for a year by United States Sc
cret service men and the police Of al
most every city in the country. En-
lish detectives of Scotland Yard also
are said to have sought Porter and his
copanions, who were credited with
having extracted numerous dollars
from too credulous Londoners.
Porter, who also was known as
George W. Post, was wanted here on
an indictment for swindling returned
in the United State circuit court In
July, 1910 Porter and companion,
Edward Starkloff, also are wanted in
Philadelphia, where they forfeited a
$4,000 bond in the United States
court year ago.
! In view of the forfeiture and the
report that the confidence men of
which Porter is aaid to be the head,
continually keep a large amount of
protection money within reach, Chief
De Woody will make every effort to
keep his prisoner under lock and key
ustil he is brought to trial,
/ cash bond of $4,000 offered by
Porter was refused by federal ofic-
ials. who declared that nothing less
than $4,000 cash bond would gain
him his temporary liberty. A bond
of $4,000, set by the court when the
prisoner Was indicted, was cancelled
by United States District Judge Geo.
A. Carpenter before whom Porter
sought release this afternoon. This
means that when he demands mis- re-
lease on bonds the matter will Lave
to be argued before the court of juris-
diction.
