A Worlds Search.
AT police headquarters this morn
ing, the few survivors OF the Byrnes
regime thought they were seeing
ghosts when Hallen suddenly confront
ed them. Remarkable Captain Jack
Dunn was so badly ratified that it took
him some time to recall the remark
able chase around the world after the
man, begun in 1898 and ending in
1898, when Detective Sergeants Nc
Naught and Cuff arrested him at Ad-
Olson, y. Y, on charge of having
forged a mortgage by means of which
he swindled Mrs. Sarah Cauldwell out
of $4,000. Inc chase began just aft
er he had been saved, by the statute
of limitations, from standing trial on
eleven indictments for swindling other
of his clients.
The chase ranged across the ocean
to England, back to New York, to ia
maica, to Panama, to Lima, Peru,
where he posed as a coffee planter; to
the Island of Tahiti where he made
pilgrimage to the home of Robert
Louis Stevenson; from Samoa to Jap
an, to China, to South West Africa,
where he posed as a Methodist mis-

"Hallen scorned legal assistance at
his trial, and drew upon his own eX-
perience as a lawyer in defending him
self. During the course of the trial
half dozen women turned up, each
| claiming to have been married to him,
each charging that he had swindled
| her. To most of them he was known
as John d. Hayne, and his marriages
ranged from Vermont to Florida. He
was convicted, and on January 5, 1899,
was sent away for eight years. In
! 1900 he was discharged.
"No sooner out of prison than Hallen
was working a new way. He got into
the good graces of the Nicaraguan gov
eminent and sold to Ramon Echsasar-
eta boxes alleged to contain 100000
cartridges. He got $1,000 for the
boxes, but when they were opened at
Bmefields, Nicaragua, they were found
to contain copper junk.
in March of this year Hallen was
arrested in Washington, charged with
an attempt to steal papers which
would have betrayed the plan of the
Mexican revolutionists. But, he man

"In court the only concern of this
remarkable man who, during his fight
from the New York detectives, had

/ THE young woman, whom he mar
ried two years ago, refused to reveal
her identity, and didn't care what her
husbands record was: I don't care
what he's done-I love him, and will
stand by him. she vowed.
"Halen finally did get lawyer, but
/ did all the talking: With the courts
indulgence, | should like to confer with
my lawyer and then we may consent
, to an adjournment, he pleaded. His
urbane manner, his air of Difference,
had its effect and when the confer
ence was over he declared, as though
he was comforting a favor, that he
was willing that the case should be
put over"
