WOMEN ASK

From Reformatory at

for Prisoners Re-
WIFE MAKES AN APPEAL.

Waterloo, Nov. 4.-The wife and
invalid mother sof Grover w. Reyn-
olds, who is serving a term in the
reformatory at Anamosa for passing
bogus checks, have appealed to
County Auditor Rainbow. who was
one Of the compliments, to take
steps for the young mans parole.
He began his term last May. after
making a dramatic plea to Judge
Plat for clemency.
Reynolds is without doubt the
king OF worthless check artists, and
claims that he was started on the
road to easy money by losses at
gambling. He passed forty-eight
bogus checks In eight states. and
when arrested had complete list
OF his victims. with the sum secur-
ed from each. He is but % years
old, and Is widely known over Iowa
and adjoining states as travelling
salesman.
Mrs. Reynolds, the wife. is en-
ployed at Fort Wayne. Ind. and the
mother, who also lives In Indiana,
is a helpless invalid. Both plead for
the prisoners release, believing that
his reformation has already been eff
fected, that he will live an honest
life henceforth and that he will
make PREPARATION for the wrongs
committed.
Reynolds gave the officers a merry
chase for several weeks last winter
and spring. His capture was finally
made at Little Rock, Ark. He had
planned to leave there for British
Columbia.
