MYSTERIO WOMAN
TN FORGERY CASE

| Jailer Sewers for permission to
talk with Lane.
Paints Dead Away.
The jailer refused, telling her
that she must get permission from
Capt. Strickland.
When she applied to the detec-
tive captain, Lieut.. Feulston hap
pened to be In the room. Feul-
ston has been conducting an in
vestigation of the forgery cases,
and was responsible for the ex-
pose of the $500 worth of forged
checks passed by uniformed men.
How Long have you known
Lane?" asked Strickland.
"Why-I've met him twice"
said the woman hesitatingly.
What do you want to see him
for?" demanded the captain.
why, l just want to get his
mothers address," she replied.
Suddenly turning pale, the girl
clutched at her throat.
my, but it's awfully close in
here" she murmured. Then she
collapsed in a dead faint.
Capt. Strickland caught her,
and with the aid of Sergt. Boyle
of the military police carried her
to the police matron's quarters.
In half an hour the young wom-
an was able to return to the cap
tain's office.
Refuses to Tell.
She refused to tell her reasons
for being interested in Lane. Her
name, she said, was May Thomp-
son. She was refused permission
to see the prisoner.
Attorney A. o. Burmeister, who
Is representing Lane, declared Sat
urday that the young hotel clerk
Is being made the victim of a
string Of falsehoods told by Sergt.
Proud.
Lane formerly managed a
dance hall at Ell Paso, and he be-
came acquainted with Proud
there" said Burmeister. "They
were good friends.
when Lane came to Tacoma,
he ran into Proud on the street,
and the acquaintance was renew
ed. Lane and his mother, who Is
here with him, also met Mrs.
Proud. They mingled socially,
but Lane knew nothing of Proud's
forgeries.
DOuble-CrOssed?
PROUD confessed when he was
caught that he had forged 5000
worth of checks. He said that
another sergeant at Camp Lewis
was his partner in crime, and
also said that Lane had written
the checks for him. The military
authorities have proved that the
other sergeant was innocent. Now
they will find that Lane Is also in
nocent.
Proud has double-crossed his
two best friends, in order to try
to save himself. Young Lane is
bright, clean young man, and the
stigma of these lies Is resting
heavily upon him."

A GREAT
CLEANUP

Camp Lewis military police to-
day are working on what may
prove the greatest expose of Ger
man propaganda methods . made
since the United States declared
war.
While definite information is
being withheld, there is every
reason to- believe that by the ar
rest of IA l. w. w. in a bunk
house of the contractors in charge
of the building of the cantonment
Thursday night, the government
came into the possession of evil
dence showing a concerted plot to
damage the cantonment and ham
per the work of training an army
here.
The officials here have been
working for months to connect
German agents with vice condi-
lions in Seattle and scores Of de-
partment of justice operatives and
secret service agents aided by
military police have spent weeks
gathering evidence to show that
the /. w. w. is inspired by Ger
man capital.
Officers Disguised.
The I. w. w. arrested Thurs
day night were taken by squad
of military police after three
commissioned officers clad as ho-
boes had entered the mess house
and begged the privilege of Sleep
ing there.
They won the confidence of the
agitators, and while they listened
to anathema directed against
President Wilson and the flag and
heard the secret plans of the or
ganization discussed a Gordon of
police was assembling about the
house.
At signal the doors were
thrown open and the I. w. w.
placed in custody.
May BE COurt-Martialed.
Their identity is kept secret by
the officials.
1t was admitted today that the
men had only been In camp a few
days and that they were part of
larger party sent here, it is said,
"for a definite purpose"
It is possible that they may be
tried by a military commission,
and in this case If found guilty of
treason or espionage death or life
Imprisonment are the only posi-
BILE sentence.

May Rap Prosecutor
In Drug Store Case

A bitter legal fight, in which
the prosecuting attorneys office
may come in for some severe criti-
cism, was indicated Saturday m
Judge Chapman's court when
Chief of Police Smith, Commits
sioner Petit and Capt. Falconer
made their first move in the in
junction suit brought against
them by Harry Greenwald, owner
of the Temple Drug Co., raided py
the police.
Greenwald is asking that the
police be restrained from guard
ing his place to prevent the sale
of booze, and he Is asking for
$4,000 damages for injuries which
he alleges already has been done
his business thru the driving away
OF customers.
Must File Bond.
The city officials were repre-
scented by City Attorney U. q. Har-
mon.
The hearing resulted in the first
jolt for Greenwald, who Is said
to be a former Seattle dance hall
proprietor.
On the motion of Harmon
Judge Chapman made an order
rhat Greenwald. not being a resi-
dent of Pierce county, must file
a 5000 bond to secure costs In
the case before he can 60 on with
the suit.
Set For Wednesday.
Greenwald, appearing on the
witness stand, admitted that he
still has his home in Seattle, that
his wife has not come to Tacoma
and that his household goods have
not been brought here.
The hearing on the injunction
was set for next Wednesday. Be-
fort that time Greenwald will
have to put up his bond.
The recent dismissal by the
prosecuting attorneys office Of
the criminal proceedings brought
against Sam Cassimir, manager of
the Temple Drug Co., accused of
selling booze without prescrip-
lions, may come in for sharp criti-
cism from the police heads, be-
fore the present case is ended, 1t
Is intimated.

A new development OF sensa-
tional nature occurred Saturday
in the Camp Lewis forgery expose
when a strange woman, applying
to see Fred %. Lane, a prisoner at
the city jail connected with the
forgeries, collapsed in a dead
faint when Detective Capt. Strick-
land and Lieut.. Feulston Of the
military police began quizzing
her.
Lane is the 22-year-old night
clerk of the Tacoma hotel who is
charged with having written out
forged checks, and giving them to
Sergt. Douglas Proud Of the quar-
termaster corps to cash.
The young woman, dressed In
an expensive suit of lates pattern,
walked into police headquarters
morning and asked
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1917-11-17

out any evidence being offered
against Cassimir by Deputy Prose-
cutor Thompson, and without con-
sulting the police department.
This dismissal followed a ruling
by Judge Chapman in a civil case
that the booze seized in the raid
should be returned to Cassimir.
Arrested Again.
Within an hour after they had
been served with $4,000 suit
for damages and an injunction
demanding that they remove po-
lice pickets from before the Tenn
pie drug store, 11155 Broadway,
police officials Friday afternoon
ordered Sam Cassimir, manager of
the store, re-arrested.
Cassimir was taken to police
headquarters by Detective Dy-
ment on the charge that he had
never served his recent sentence
in police court for bootlegging,
and that he had not perfected his
appeal in the case to the supreme
court.
Police Judge Graham refused 10
let the police hold Cassimir, how
ever. He declared that the drug
gist's attorneys had appealed the
police court decision, but that
there had been a technical misun.
derstanding over the appeal bonds
Cassimir was released, and his
attorneys announced that they
would file an appeal at once III
the conviction of the druggist.
Thompson, in having the GRIM
inal action dismissed, stipulated
that no more evidence than what
had been offered in this civil
action could be produced in the
prosecution of Cassimir.
If Greenwald uses this dismissal
as reason why the guarding of
his place by policemen now is
wrongful, the prosecuting attor-
ney's office may come in fol. some
solid raps from the police depart
ment.
