his friends that Mr.. Forman had long
ago made a settlement with the Wick

the indictment against him still

Mr.. Forman at Broad and Market
streets, but could not get near
enough to exchange greetings. For

avenue trolley car, and walking
around the back of the car disap-
peared in the crowds in Broad street.
Mr. Traphagens son Charles sug-
gests that Forman might have got

family in Irvington.
Alexander ]. d. Kline, of 1S4 Fair

road, who became acquainted with
Forman through his connection with
the West End Building and Loan
Association, declares that he saw his
friend in this city about three weeks
ago, standing at Broad and Bank
streets. Just as he was about to
approach him, Mr.. Kline said, For
man whirled and passed up Bank
street at rapid gait.
Il am more than certain that the
man / saw was George Forman," con-
tinued Mr.. Kline. II was very wei
acquainted with him through our con-
nection with the West End Building
and Loan Association, and there was
only one apparent change in him.
His cheeks were not quite as full as
when he went away. and they We're

considerable weight, but otherwise ne
