Charles City, Jan. ga telegram
was received from a former Charles
City editor, Robert II. Nicoll, now
night editor Of the Fresno Republican
to the effect that w. J. Reid was given
six years in the penitentiary for forg-
cry. It refers to w. j. Reid. the great
est crook Floyd county has had the
dishonor to produce.
His record elsewhere is identical
on larger scale with the start made
in this county.
He was born and reared Of a good
family in Rockford. considered in
fact model boy, never smoked
chewed or drank. When young man
he with his father started an imple-
ment business in Rockford. His af-

his shop and attempted to collect in
surance. The case was tried in this
city in the fall of 1898. The COM
pany won the decision. Judge McVey
defended the latter. The sole conten-
ton was to determine whether he
set fire or caused the building to be
set on fire. The grand jury took this
evidence and indicted him for arson
The pury was out for seventytwo
hours disagreeing six to six. After
hanging over on the calendar for
months the case was dropped.
In his private business his deals
have locally displayed the earmarks
OF the born crook and many could be
recited.
Municipal Judge Gemmil Of Chicago,
at that time was superintendent of the
Rockford schools. Later he studied law
and went to Chicago. He defended Reid
in many trials but gained his hatred
by identifying him in a Massachusetts,
case. Reid swore to kill him and was
prevented in one instance by the pres
ence Of friends.
The moment the wires flashed the
news of the capture. large cities all
over the country sent in messages
wanting Reid on charges of financial
depredations. One such came from
Ceylon, MIMI. where he under an alias
of Carr. beat bank ont Of $4,000.
When arrested Reid had red wig.
He is said to have lived a DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde life, having conducted
legitimate business in Chicago. He
staid at the Congress hotel. but paid
up and left there the forepart Of De-
cember
Mr.. Reid is As years old.
The arrest OF Reid In California
