PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
Accused Man Is Released on Bonds of
$1,000 Pending Adjourned Hearing
Set for january 28-Foreigner is
Complainant in Sensational Case.

Edward Orlosky, well. known about
the municipal court as an interpreter
and in the real estate business,
was arrested by Chief of Police O'Hare
just after ten o'clock this morning on
warrant charging obtaining money
under false pretenses. The complaint
was made by District Attorney A. l..
Drury on information furnished by
Peter Mynewzyk, who charges that
Orlosky defrauded him out of four
hundred and fifty dollars on & real es-
tate deal. The warrant is long one.
Orlosky and his attorney, F. S. Sym
monds, denied the charges and denied
them vigorously and declared that the
complaining witness had been satisfied
with the manner in which his money
had been handled until some "medd-
ler' took part in the case and caus-
ed the complaint on which Orlosky
was arrested. Orlosky has been seen
much about the courts here and he has
acted as an interpreter and for this
reason his arrest was easily, the most
interesting thing at the municipal
court this morning.
According to the complaint filed by
the district attorney, Orlosky entered
into his dealings with the complaining
witness in June of 1915. It is alleged
that at that time Orlosky represented
himself as an agent S. G. Newman, who
is in charge Of the real estate business
Of the Hoyt-Newell subdivisions. 1t
is alleged in the complaint that Or
losky represented to Mynewzyk that
he was the regularly appointed agent
of Newman who was resident Of Mil
waukee. 1t is claimed that at one time
Orlosky sought to be named as an
agent for Mr.. Newman but the latter
informed him that he did not employ
any agents. Orlosky then offered to
purchase a lot from Newman with the
understanding that it was to be resold
to another man. Newman gave Or
losky a land contract on which a total
of 1926 was paid before Orlosky went
to Newman and gave him the contract
back in return for 5000.
1t is alleged that Mynewczk agreed
to pay $3.50 for the lot in question.
Payments were made at various times
up to and including the first of De-
cember of last year. The man also
paid for the cost of making the deed.
Then it is alleged Orlosky instead of
giving him deed gave him note for
the full amount he had paid in. The
note was signed by Orlosky and un-
secured and was to run for term OF
five years When the man brought the
note to the district attorney it is al
legged that Orlosky returned his land
contract to Newman. 1t is alleged
in the complaint that Orlosky repeat
eddy represented to his customer that
Newman lived in Milwaukee and that
he was his accredited agent in Keno
sha. Orlosky denies this and asserts
that he told the man that he was buy
ing the property on land contract
from Newman and that the man had
known Of the existence of such
contract.
There is a wide variance in the
statements made by the defendant and
the complaining witness and it is I'M
derstood that the prosecution of the
case will be fought with vigor.
Orlosky was arraigned in the MUM
cipa1 court just before noon and the
hearing of the case continued until
January 28th. He gave bonds in
the sum Of one thousand dollars and
was released.
