Bare Prisoners
Plot to Defraud
Govt. of S15O,00O

Leavenworth. Kas., July 22-(P)-
Efforts of q prisoner to avoid pay
ment of long distance telephone
toll led to the discovery of a con-
spiracy by convicts in the federal
penitentiary here to swindle the gov
eminent out of upwards of $150,00o,
Warden w. I. Biddle announced on
completion Of an investigation into
the plot.
One of the prisoners, Jesse l..
Greer, committed from Colorado for
robbing the mails, called a woman
in st. Louis and tried to save him
self the tolls by charging the call to
the warden and later altering the
bill from the telephone company to
make it appear that the call was a
call to a st. Louis business firm.
The warden discovered the altera-
ton and secret service men were de-
tailed to check all of the records
which Greer had kept as a clerk in
the prison Office, resulting in discov-
cry of the plot.
With the help Of the prison motion
picture machine and some cancelled
checks which he stole from the
prison safe, Greer had been able to
forge the names Of prison officials on
fake invoices. Greer was thus able
TO OBTAIN a cneck maze out TO
fictitious business firm in Denver.
George f. Ames, a prisoner who
was paroled early in the month, re-
ceived the check at a Denver hotel
by assuming the name of the ficti-
tious man to whom the check was
addressed and presented 1t to Col
orado bank. The check. drawn for
$790.91, would have been honored,
prison officials say, II the fraud had
not been discovered.
Greer admitted his part of the plot
and officials found 125 additional
fake invoices in his possession. They
also found the stolen cancelled
checks nailed to the bottom of
bench in the prison theatre and con-
cealed in the false bottom Of a
wooden box.
Greer was formerly assistant
postmaster at West Portal, Colo.
Ames is under arrest in Denver.
Charges will be made against the
men when the investigation is COM
pleted, Warden Biddle announced

Parisians Stop
Orgy of Spending
Due to Cheap Franc

Paris, July 22-(Hl-The spending
orgy, in which French housekeepers
at the start outdid bargain seeking
American tourists, seemed destined
this morning to die down.
That part of the Paris populace
which went to bed early last night
learned from the morning papers that
the Herriot cabinet had expired dur
ing the evening and that former
President Poincare had been called
upon TO form a cabinet embracing as
many parties as possible.
This did much TO restore confidence
in the national currency and was ex-
pected to act as a check on the tour
lists who have been replenishing their
wardrobes with suits and gowns at
SO each, and hosiery at so cents, as
well as stocking up with fifty cent
dinners, 81 champa gne and 10 cent
cocktails

sieged the Big provisions and de-

ever, seems to be part on the general
anti american and Anti Foreign
, feeling which ended in scenes before

Herriot ministry was in its last throes
last night. when torrents of insuus
and epithets were hurled at tourists
in the sightseeing buses
