Identity Of Desperate, Dead
in Michigan, Barred
by Lawyer.

ROCHESTER,, \. Y, Nov. 5.-OP)
The veil of mystery that shrouded the
real identity of Dutch Anderson,
slayer, bank robber and desperate,
whose career was ended by a bullet
from his own gun in Iuskegon, Mich,
last Saturday, was pierced Wednes-
day.
In a copyrighted story the Roches-
ter Journal and Post Express prints
the life history Of the bandit, as given
by William ]. Baker, an attorney of
this city, TO whom the police of Mich
igan have turned for advice, now that
the curtain has fallen on one of the
amazing crime dramas of America.
The records at Atlanta federal prison
gave the name of Mr.. Baker US the
person to be notified in case of death.
MOTHER IN DENMARK.
While the bullet-riddlcd body of
George Dutch" Anderson lies in the
morgue at MuSkegon-it will be tenn
porarily inferred in that city at the
direction of Mr.. Baker--a widowed
mother awaits patiently in Denmark
for another letter from the boy she
thinks is prospecting in business in
this country. That letter never will
come.
And to the Rochester attorney falls
the lot of breaking the news.
Madame Won Teller, representative
of noble DaEish family, never knew
that her son, Ivan Dahl Won Teller.
and Dutch Anderson, International
ly known bandit, safe blower and des-
perado, were one and the same.
VOUCHES FOR IDENTITY.
Mr.. Baker said:
She does not know and 1 hope she
never will know.
NO matter what others may say
about Anderson's real name being
Brown or Helms, or any of many
other aliases, he used, and fixing his
birthplace rs st. Louis, or any Amer
lean city, the fact remains-and 1
can vouch for its acknowledgement
he was born in Denmark and christ
ened Ivan Dahl Won Teller.
AT the age of 20 he ran away
from home and came to America.
With the lid Off it was not long be-
fore he fell in with criminals of va
rious kin and soon his genius for
crime began to assert itself. From
petty crimes he soon became a mem
Der of larger 'mobs,' and it was nor
many years before he found himself
4 leader in the circle of those who
lived by pitting their intelligence
against that of the police for big
stakes.
HATED SOCIETY.
I'm his Bertillon picture, there is
an unmistakable sneer in the down
ward drawn left corner of bis mouth.
Although even among the police he
was always characterized as the gem
tleman crook he himself frankly adj
mitted a vicious hatred against or
ganized society.
This he attributed to an experience
in South Carolina, when he was con-
victed Of a crime because, MS he would
have phrased it, there was no one
else to hang it on and sent to one
Of the turpentine camps operated by
convict labor
Although Mr.. Baker said he ba,
received no direct communication
from Anderson since his escape from
Atlanta nearly two years ago, he OK
pressed no surprise at the way in
which he came TO this end.
"WOMANr is PUZZLE.
Anderson always said be would
never be captured alive again." the
attorney said, "but the thing I emit
understand is this story that he had
woman companion with him when
he was captured. Anderson never
worked with women, to my knowledge
