IL UNDER ARREST
Caught at Winnipeg on One
Charge, Found to Have
a Long Record.

Winnipeg. April 11.-Alexander
Boris. at M time a large and well
known New York banker and ticket
agent with offices at 200 Broadway
and, 554 West 5Oth street, and branch
es in Meridian and Philadelphia, and
whose doors suddenly. closed one day,
leaving a deficit of about $50. 600. is
now under arrest in Winnipeg.
Monday Afternoon when the west
hound Toronto express pulled into the
station. q small, weakened up locking
Austrian stepped from the train. To
his surprise and dismay he was greet
ed, by Sergeant Detective George
Smith. and placed in custody. The
charge was; that he had. sent a tele-
gram to a nan named HUFFMAN in
Minniueg threatening to murder him.
but the prisoner was held over. for
trial. t. -.
Had Many Names.
TO the police the Austrian gave his
name as .Tadeus Cieplik., and his ad.
dress al Toronto. On investigation it
was ascertained that he ran a large
ticket business under the name of J..
Goytnsky. and that he had come here
to bring away his wife.
AS the police probed deeper into
the mans past many startling revela-
tons came TO light, 1t was then dis
covered that he had, lived in Winni-
peg for a year. prior OF his leaving for
oronto. From there his back move
me:its were traced until his banking
career was ascertained. At first he
denied that he had been known as
Boris. but subsequently admitted it.
In New York Boris was noted for
being a good spender. and hat speaks
volumes for a, reputation in a town
noted for its spenders. Although it is
not known whether Boris Is wanted
by the police in that city he is being
held here on the other charge until
word is received. At the time Of the
failure boris completely disappeared.
and the affair crcatcd-a profound sen.
sation.
Boris was also the main character.
In a sensation in Germany, when he
claimed that he was robbed on a train
Of $4,000. while travelling. between
Hanover and Berlin. The money was
entrusted to his care by Il friend, and
II Is alleged. was never repaid, Boris
claiming that it was not his neeli.

was no crime committed in Canton. or
n place <else, sby his client.
This morning. MIR. Howell visited
Shaver in the provincial Jail. and had
a long conversation with him regard
ing the. case. He declined to- make n
