NO REST FOR GRIPPE
Officers Grab Him as He Leaves
Prison Gate.
Will Be Tried on Charges SINH
lar to Previous One.

On charge of engineering fraudu-
lent farm loans, more than five years
old, John GRIPPE will be tried at the
Fort Scott, Kan, term of court which
begins Monday. GRIPPE was sent to the
federal penitentiary five years ago
from Nebraska on a charge of using
the mails to defraud the Better Realty
and Loan company of Topeka.
In plying his trade. GRIPPE pretended
to be the owner of farms in a num-
Der of western states and negotiated
with loan companies for mortgag es,
according to charges against him.
Prior to making application for the
loan he would work in the neiehbor-
owned by a nonresident of the state
and pretend to be the owner in CORE
spondence with loan companies, fed
era1 officials say.
Five years ago he attempted to OBJ
tain large loan from the Better loan
company and nearly succeeded. Draft
for the money had been drawn up and
was ready to mail before the COM
pany's suspicious were aroused.
For the Topeka offenSe he served a
term of five years and was arrested at
the prison gate when released from
sentence about a month ago. After
GRIPPE had been committed to the PEN
itentiary, federal officials discovered
that he had worked his scheme in
many parts of the country.
His recent arrest was on charge
of attempting to defraud a st. Joe loan
company by representing himself to
be the owner of a farm at yelling
ton, Kan. Federal officials say he
worked the ST. Joe company for about
$1,000. Another similar deal was
pulled off at Columbus, officials say
Evidence which will be introduced
against GRIPPE at his trial in Fort Scott
will show that in working his deals
he obtained complete description of
the land and had abstracts of the same
drawn up and then made application
for the loan According to federal Of
ficials, he generally obtained from
$500 to $4,000 on each loan
Fred Robertson, United States dis
trict attorney, and William Stickel, of
the federal office here, left this after
noon for Fort Scott, where they will
attend the term of court.
