This point was rammed home by
Robert W. Childs, federal assistant
district attorney, who said to the
;ury:
Il tell you, gentlemen, ] never have
see nor known of conduct more low
nor despicable than this, creating
criminals, making offenders, fixing a
situation where these little fellows
7ould have to go to the penitentiary
for the purpose of making money
nd profit for John F. Jelke"
Seventy-f1ve storekeepers and
wagon peddlers, eleven of them
ormer convicts, took the witness
itand and swore that Jelke and
'elke's statesmen told them:
1. How to color butterine and sell
it for genuine butter below butter
market prices.
2. How to pack butterine in
Cheese boxes so that the revenue Of
ficers would think the stuff in the
boxes was cheese and not look in
them for butterine.
3. How to knock the top hoops off
the top of a tub Of butterine and
along with the hoop the tax stamp; it
would then look like tub of real
butter instead of butterine, and there
fore not be inspected.
4. How to fasten a strip of paper
over the revenue stamp so that a
revenue officer making a secret in
spection would be compelled. to tear
off the strip of paper and this would
tell the dealer that the federal gov
eminent was on his trail.
With these tricks taught by Jelke |
and his statesmen, millions of pounds |
of colored butterine were sold by
stores and wagon peddlers to house
wives in Chicago who thought they |
were paying good money for real
yellow farmers butter

Jelke Company now is making about
two million pounds of butterine a
month and during the last fourteen
years has helped in coloring at least
sixty million pounds of butterine.
Words of the charge on which
JeIke is found guilty, are: "Conspir-
acy to defraud the United States gov
eminent by causing various dealers
and various men to artificially color
oleomargarine and to sell the afore-
said oleomargarine without paying
the tax required by federal law"
w. F. Forrest, lawyer for Jelke,
speaking to the jury, referred sheer
ingly to "these criminals, the little
fellows who have been Leavenworth
convicts and who testified against
Jelke. Among the witnesses who did
time were Frank Coll. He got six
years and was pardoned after eight
months. Coll sold 1873, 900 pounds of
Jelke's butterine in one year. He
operated wagon routes from store
at Kedzie avenue and Lake street.
Others convicted in 1910 and 1911,
who were witnesses, are Edward
Marhoefer, Charles j. Marhoefer,
Peter Brimie, Charles Greenwald,
William A. Schaffer, Samuel Dries
bach, Edward Enders, Joseph Wirth,
Tony Wirth, Patrick Rady.
Edward Marhoefer and his brother
Charles testified that when the gov
eminent was on his trail John F.
Jelke and Francis M. Lowry advised
him to go into hiding. Edward went
to Mexico, New Orleans, st. Paul,
Toronto, and then for five months
stay in England. John F. Jelke regu-
larly gave checks to Charles Mar
hoefer, who sent them on to his
brother for travelling expenses.
Faxed records were kept in the
Jelke factory Offices on Union street

THE DEBTOR u: !. 3
He Escaped the Bailiffs, to
Be Charged With Robbery
By F. TOWNSEND SMITH

During the early part of the last cen
tury. which was hundred years ago.
the aristocratic families Of America
were a country abiding people like the
landed gentry OF England. One of these
families, the Chatsworths, occupied a
manor house on the east bank of the
Hudson river near the scene of the
capture Of the British spy, Major An
Dire, third Of century before. Since
that time marvellous changes have come
over not only that region but all others
In America, unless it be those not yet
settled. Hospitality to strangers, then
considered a duty, is now unknown.

my story.
What was then a dirt road running
before the Chatsworth manor house is
now a pair OF steel rails on which pass
frequent trains of cars. One evening
during that comparatively primitive Pc

now plain that the transfer of the
clothes was of far greater benefit to the
latter than in having exchanged an old
suit for new one. Dorothy was
obliged to return word to her fiance
that the traveller had gone away with
out her knowing of his departure or
what direction he had taken.
A problem confronted BECKER.
Should he accept the sentence i'm
posed upon him for robbery or sur
render himself to his creditors? Both
courses meant long terms of imprison-
ment. and to the former charge was
attached an odium that was not in
volved in the other. he concluded.
however. to accept the charge Of rob-
berry temporarily, and if the sentence
was heavy he could establish his iden-
tity and go to prison for debt.
Since no defense could be made
without declaring who he was he
pleaded guilty to the charge on condi-
ton that he should receive light sen
tence. Having been convicted and
given two years Imprisonment. he
went to prison. hoping that something
might turn up to shorten his term.
A month had passed when Dorothy
Chatsworth secured summons to ap-
pear as witness at trial Of man
for theft committed in Hartford. Conn.
On going into court. she recognized
the man she had given supper and
lodging. He desired her to testify that
on the night the theft was committed
in Hartford he was at her house on
the Hudson river.
Dorothy had good head on her and
after talk with the prisoners law
yer agreed to prove for his client his
alibi if he would exonerate Leonard
Bleeker of the crime for which he was
suffering imprisonment. AS soon as
the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty the released man executed pa
pers proving Bleeker's innocence. This
he could do without giving himself
up. and both men were free.
Leonard Bleeker left for the west inn
mediately after his release and in a
new field made fortune. 1t is need
less to say that he returned and took
his betrothed back with him as his
wife.

When the traveller awoke and saw an

passed through the corridor, out of the
front door and southward toward New
York.
Dorothy expected that the traveller
would make a charge Of theft at the
transposition of suits and during the
night had tried to invent a story to
throw him off the track. In this she
failed. She could have accounted for
the exchange of an old suit for a new

that he was we'll satisfied with the
change and had stolen away lest it be
rectif1ed. Content with this result. her
mind became absorbed in the. other
part of the problem. the success of her

Leonard Bleeker. after leaving the
Chatsworth manor house, proceeded
on his way northward. He had not
walked far before he met number of
farmers armed with squirrel guns.

him set up shout and, rushing upon
him, made him their prisoner.
''That's the man. exclaimed one of
them. I'D know him among a thou

what charge have you against me?''
asked Bleeker. much puzzled.
'You robbed me last evening, taking
all the money l had-$11.24."
II robbed you? Where?''
I'm the hollow a mile up the road"
"But l was not in the hollow up the
road last evening. At supper time l
was in Yonkers.''
"Oh, you can prove your alibi to the
court"
So it was that Bleeker, who was fee
ing from a charge of debt. was cap
tured on a charge of robbery. He was
taken northward to the scene of the
crime. charge was made out against
him. and he was lodged in Jail. The
only comfort he had in the matter was
that he was not taken southwark
from New York.
AS soon as he was left alone he be
gan to think of what be should do. II
he acknowledged his identity he woull
fall into the hands of those who would
prosecute him for debt. 1t was evi
dent to him that the man whose clothe:
he had taken had committed the rob
berry with which he was charged.

made him welcome, gave him a good
supper, and a negro servant showed
him to q bedroom.
1t was still early when the traveller
turned in, and Dorothy was in the liv-
Ing room. sitting by globe lamp en-
broidering. Her thoughts were upon a
citizen of New York. one Leonard
Bleeker, from whom she had that day
received a letter by the post stating
| that he had fallen into debt and was
liable to be arrested at any moment
and thrown into prison. Indeed, be
was preparing to save himself by fight.
Dorothy was much troubled at this, for
she and young Bleeker were lovers.
Presently, throwing down her embroid.

et-the first form of piano-and began
| to run her fingers somewhat feverishly
over the keys. Hearing a tap on the
window opening ON to the porch. she
saw the object of her solicitude wear
ing look of trouble. Rushing to the
window, she admitted him.
"Oh. Len" she exclaimed.
"The bailiffs are after me. Hide me,
or, rather, give me disguise. They
have my description, though l think
none Of them have ever seen me. If
remain here shall be arrested. Can't
you give me different suit-one of
your fathers or brothers.? If you can
will 60 on in the darkness and if l
meet the bailiffs will not be known"
Dorothy thought of the traveller and
told her lover of the clothes he wore
They were different from the incoming
fashion of a frock coat with full skirt
and pantaloons worn by Blocker. II
he could possess himself of this anti
Quated suit he would have fine chance
Of deceiving his pursuers. After 8
few moments thought he determined
to try to possess himself of them. Dor

the guest had been placed. and. hearing
the occupant snoring, he opened the
door softly, entered the room, felt his
way till he found the clothes on a chat,
and took them out with him. Then
Ientering an adjoining room, he changed
his own suit for them and, taking the
former back to the strangers room. left
them there.
