CONFESSES SWINDLES
 AGGREGATING $5OO,OOO
St. Louis Man for Years Maintained Dual Identity of Banker and
 Forger of Realty Documents.

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 30.-After main taining for years, as alleged, a dual identity of banker and prominent citi- zen of Forrest City, Ark, and forger of realty documents in other parts of I the country, John W. Kline of St. Louis, was under arrest here today. l He has confessed, according to de- l tectives, of swindles aggregating more 1 than $500,000. As a bank director in the Arkansas city Kline was known as John w. Barnhardt He was arrested here last night. He had escaped jail two weeks ago, the police said, from Waukesha,
 Wis. where his methods in attempt
 ing to mortgage property brought him
 under suspicion. The complaints
 against Kline allege that it was his
 method to go into rich farming com- munity, inquire for a good farm he might buy, and get acquainted with men of money. When he had selected a farm, it was charged, he either bor- rowed the deed and made out a bogus deed to himself, or he bought the farm, paid for it by check and took
 possession of the deed. As soon as
 the deed was safely recorded in his
 name, Kline, his accusers say, mort
 gagged it and by the time the check
 was returned marked mo funds he
 had gone back to Arkansas to become
 a banker again.
