THINK NEGRO HAS
 BEEN COLLECTING
 COIN DUE SOLDIER
Special Agent Kerwin Present Strange Case For Wash
 ingtOn to Unravel

Whether John Evans, negro, of Warren, or John Evans, white, of AL tus, Okla, is the former United States soldier due to have received about $3,00o in disability compensa- tion checks is a problem which now awaits a solution by authorities at Washington, since the first step in the unraveling of the skein was ef- fected yesterday afternoon at a hearing before United States Com missioner Burnett at the end of ren, was bound over to- wait the ac- tion of the federal grand jury with bond fixed at $500 on charge of defrauding the government.
 Evans was arrested at Warren yesterday by Deputy United States Marshal A. L. Reid, upon in- formation furnished by E. J. Ker- win, special agent, for the Depart ment of Justice. He was brought here for hearing yesterday after noon. Witnesses were Waller Kicks, marshal at Warren, and s. T. Butler, assistant postmaster there.
 May Be Wrong Man.
 During the past two years, Ev- ans, of Warren, has cashed about $3,00o in checks sent as disabili- ty compensation by the government. Now there is question as to whether this Evans is he man en- titled to the money, since there is John Evans in Altus, Okla, to whom it is believed the money is rightly due.
 The tangle was brought to the mo- tice of authorities when the assist ant postmaster at Warren received notification to hold checks for John Evans and send them to John Evans at Altus. This led to an investiga- tion in which it was found that the Warren John Evans had been cash ing compensation checks all along.
 Should he be the wrong John Ev- ans, he will be guilty of defrauding the government. Should he be the right man, then--well, there is a connection somewhere with the AL tus John Evans, and that is the prob lem facing the Washington clerical force; and to aid and abet in the matter, Judge Kerwin last night had ready to mail a sizeable package of documents containing correspon- dence involving the Warren John Evans, together with certain other records beginning with his time of registration before the draft board, and ending with his discharge.
