CAUGHT IN SOUTH

| travelling under SeVefal aliases, ana
working his sympathy game in anoth.
er territory, F. Hildebrandt, wanted
BY authorities in this city, on two
charges, one of getting money under
false pretenses and Of escaping from
the custody of an officer, has been ar
rested in Galesburg, ILL.,, on charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
| lenses, according to word received by
authorities in this city. The charge
| lodged against him there is practi-
cally the same as the one that was
! made against him here, and according
to information available, he was
working practically the same "sym-
pathy" game there as he was in this
vicinity when he was apprehended.
Authorities here have asked that he
be returned here to be given trial as
soon as the charge against him there
is Strengthened up. Just before escap-
ing from the custody of an officer in
this city, he was bound over to the
district court, but he will perhaps be
given new hearing when he is re-
turned, and the second charge lodged
against him. ~...
= The game he was working in this
vicinity when apprehended was about
as clever one as authorities have
had anything to do with. He would go
into bank, and tell story of how
his expense check had failed to arrive,
pretending to be travelling salesman
for some jewelry house. He would
offer an apparently expensive gold
watch as collateral, and would sign
note for the amount which the banker
decided to let him have. In order to
work the game to perfection, few
"sympathy" tactics were brought in
during the negotiations for the money.
He would open up the case of his
watch to show the prospective victim
the works of the watch, and in the
case was pasted picture of a woman
and child and also small dog. The
banker would naturally conclude that
it was his wife and child and believing
in the honest, integrity and good faith
Of his customer would give him the
money. The banker would have as
collateral, good tinted, tin case
with movements in it resembling an
alarm clock in mechanism and move
ment, and he would also have the note
signed by the man, forging any name
he happened to feel like.
He was caught at his little game,
however, and brought to this city, but
escaped from the custody of authori-
ties, and again working his sympathy
gag, got local physician to take him
to Fargo in car, on the strength of
the story that his mother was lying in
a hospital there, seriously i'll. He
hoped out of the automobile when it
got to the hospital, and disappeared
from sight until he was caught at his
game down in Illinois.
If he is found guilty of the charge
lodged against him in Illinois, it may
be some time before he is returned
here, since he will be forced to serve
his sentence there.
The county Jail now has total pop
ulation of Is inhabitants and seems
to be showing steady increase. This
is in striking contrast with the New
Rockford and jamestown jails, where
it is reported both are empty.
