NEWCASTLE, Wyo., Sept.
al (LN.S.) &c. D. Waggoner,
banker and leading citizen of
Telluride, Colo, who astounded
the financial world by his
alleged fraudulent coup in
which he built up credit for
himself and his bank to the
extent of half a million dol
lars in New York banks, was
"glad it's over" today.
Appearing calm as he sat in
small cell in the local Jail, Waggoner
declared:

He would not admit that he was
headed for Canada, and would not

for the astounding transaction by
which he secured a credit OF

The Ware case Was injected into

in the cloakroom that their only

tariff. Senator Norris R.l of Ne.

declaring Ware not entitled to a
Senatorial seat, announced he was
not filibustering. He even called
the attention of Republican leaders
