When Charles R. Hoskins, Jr, want ed in Globe for alleged bogus check transactions, was captured in Chicago a few days ago, the Cnlcago Tribune had this to say of Hoskins and his all legged misdoings:
 Charles R. Hoskins, Jr., had gone through more than $lOO,0O0 to arrive in the detective bureau jail. A right ex- travagant price considering that said Charles R. might have slipped in as the leftenant's pipe cleaner from the size and nerve of him.

There is also good grazing for a barber on his chin.
 Charles R. is the son of Charles R. Hoskins, secretary of the William H. Hoskins company, 9O4-6 Chestnut street. Philadelphia. The company is big stationery and printing supply firm.
 After explaining that Charles R. is 40 years old, wanted in Globe, Ariz.. for passing bogus checks to the amount of S20,000 and is now hanging his head on the side and acting queer for an alibi, the story will pick up as an auto biography.

 My father, who is a brother of the head of the firm Civilian H. Hoskins company, put me into brokerage business. And l gambled naturally. Then my health broke down from too much wine and the complement of the same which wear skirts. I went to ! Phoenix, Ariz., where 1 lived in the l open, renewed acquaintance with the stars, and, began to be a better man than whisky. Then I fell in love again and this was a real love-and I mar | ried
 became acquainted with Leonard there. l was a silent partner in his 1 firm, the Leonard Piano company of ] Globe, AriZ. As auditor of the firm also began to take little money to l play the old game drink and gambline over, but the women were cut out this time. When l lost heavily at pike1 gambling, l took lot more money and 1 bought war stocks.
 Did hard luck ever begin to ride a poor devil and then give him the turn lf 1t did, he wasn't me. I failed and for nine months padded accounts and made false entries because l hoped tc recoup and come clear for the wife's ] sake.

Then scampered about the country, beating i these so-called dicks out of every town. They say l never heard from my wife. l got plenty of letters from her and sent her letters.
