victed and sentenced to ten years in
the prison at Joliet. When taken there
he was at once recognized by the war
den and turned over to the prison
physicians who needed an assistant in
the hospital and drug department.
Cross quickly gained some technical
knowledge of both branches. Later he
was transferred to the prison library
where he studied all the medical books
he could borrow from the prison physi-
clans, who had taken a great interest
in him. Through good behavior his
term was cut almost in two. In 1877 he
was discharged and came to Fargo
where he established himself as a
physician under the name Of DR.. j. B.
Crucial.
He had a fair practice here and when
the territory became a state in 1889,
he was, along with other doctors who
were not graduates of medical schools,
admitted as a regular practitioner. He
followed that profession with varying
| financial success until five or six years
| ago, when his advancing years made it
impossible for him to continue. with
out resources, friends paid his board at
hotels until he became 81 helpless that
it was necessary to send him to the
county hospital. .s

CHECKERED LIFE

FARGO PHYSICIAN, NOW AN IN.
MATE OF THE COUNTY POOR
FARM, SAID TO HAVE BEEN ONE
OF MOST NOTED FoReERs IN
ANNALS OF CRIME.

The Minneapolis Journal on Sunday
had the following story under a Fargo
date line:
James Buchanan Cross, once the
greatest forger of his time, formerly
OF the United States secret service, a
protege OF a member of Lincoln's cab
met, after a generation of reform. now
almost 80 years old, lies at the county
poor farm hospital at Fargo awaiting
the inevitable end.
From the early ffties until along in
the seventies, the name Of James Blu
ehanan Cross was a familiar n to
newspaper readers. At that time his
daring and successful forgeries thrilled
the people OF both continents and ac-
counts OF his clever criminal acts were
widely chronicled in American and
foreign newspapers. Detectives, secret
service men, bankers and business men
VINO were contemporaneous with Cross
nave long since passed away. Few
knew Of his reform.
For more than thirty five years Cross
has been known to residents of Fargo
as DR.. ]. b. Crucial. During that period
he has led an upright life, and now,
unable to recognize his oldest and best
friends. mentally incompetent and
physically helpless, he is a county
charge, his death being regarded as a
matter of a few weeks.

The half century ago records of the

Allegheny prison was his home for

tiary was h last in which he was in

The daring of Cross was shown while
a prisoner in the Allegheny peniten-
tiary. One day a letter came to the
warden bearing the signature of Sec
rotary Chase of Lincoln's cabinet and
written on the official Ietterheads, ask
ing that Cross be liberated and sent
to Washington as he was wanted for
secret service work. The letter was
so official in its character that it was

The warden was about to start back
with the prisoner when the latter's
opportunities for an audience with the
secretary were granted. In a few mo-
mentS Cross convinced Chase that he
could be of valuable assistance to him
in the secret service. The official gave
him a trial and for three years the
forger was connected with the depart
ment as a protege of the great war
time secretary. Cross, in addition to
his clever penmanship, was an expert
telegrapher. His wide acquaintance
with men of public affairs and with

Grafton. George was in town Tuesday
evening and remained until the hour
stated above, when he went over to
the n. p. depot with the intention of
boarding a through freight that was
coming along, from which he would
alight opposite the farm home a mile
west of the city. On the platform he
mentioned the matter to Operator
Brink, who had received late orders
to pass to the train engineer as well
as the conductor and was rushing to
take care of them. Mr.. Brink ordered
Nesemeier not to do anything of the
kind as the train was too fast to at
tempt 1t and understood h a he as
scented. The next time he saw the lad
he was PROSTATE on the platform
about twenty feet east of the Fourth
avenue walk. He carried him into the
depot and called physicians, and on
their arrival George was taken to the
Commercial hotel and cared for until
morning when he was removed to the
city hospital.
Just what happened at the time OF
the accident it is impossible to learn,
but it is evident that Nesemcier at
tempted to board the train, that he
failed to accomplish his purpose and
that the wheel of a a while no
passing directly across the calf of his
leg, ran lengthwise of it crushing the
bone to a pulp and making amputa-

he will easily pull through the effects

until this morning to allow recupera-

ent an ANTI" as her daughter is a suf-
fragist. Mrs. Jones went to Washing

an expert chopper and sawyer. Last
spring. in a contest of skill, she pitted
herself against the best two men of
the camp. She not only did more work
han either of them, but more than
both of them together. On the strength
OF this victory, the owner of the lum-
Der camps appointed her boss of one
Of his largest gangs of lumbermen.

During his secret service work he
was loyal and never was charged with
any forgeries, but soon after the close
of the war he again resumed his inter
national check raising. France was his
favorite haven, and so far as known
he committed any forgertes there.
When things became too warm FOR
him on this side or in England ne
would fee to Paris. Under an assumed
name he had a wide personal acquaint-

France, posing as a wealthy American
Of French descent.
On occasion he was in the office
of a French bank, when he noticed a
| circular bearing his own picture with
an offer of reward for his capture. He
called the French bankers attention to
the circular, commenting that 1t was a
shame that through mistake his picture
had been used as that of a forger. His
French friend was so indignant that
he sent a protest to American officials.
So far as known the last forgery
committed by Cross was in Chicago in
1872. He had made the burned city his
headquarters and was purchasing lots
on which the buildings had been de-
stroyed by the great fire. He formed
the acquaintance Of a banker and a
lumber dealer. The often ate at the

tcashed small checks for Cross. One
day the man with the long record with
a pen went to the office of the lumber
man for a small bill of boards for some
repairs. He rendered a 500 bill in pay
ment. The dealer had no change.

the dealer to Cross.

The lumber dealer handed him a
check for $3.50. The next morning
Cross appeared at the bank conducted
by his hotel acquaintance and present
ed a check for $3.50. 1t was readily
cashed.
At noon Cross was absent from the
table at the hotel, but the crime was
discovered by the casual remark by the
banker. A warrant was issued and de-

check raiser. Cross did not leave the
hotel but had his meals served in his
room, where he remained several days
before his discovery.
