DOW IS INDICTED
IN FORGERY CASE
Capital Lawyer Also Faces
Charge of Making False
Certificate.

William J. Dow, lawyer and notary
public, was indicted today by the grand
jury on charges of forgery and making
false certificate to legal paper.
The indictment is in two counts. The
first charges that July 2, 1928, Dow
forged the name of Elizabeth r. Cornish,
a widow, to a deed purporting to convey
premises 213 Seaton place northeast to
Perley j. Moore and Mary S. Moore.
The second count alleges that he falsely
certified, as notary public, that Mrs.
Cornish had appeared before him and
had acknowledged the execution of the
deed.
Didn't Know Of Deed.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray, who investigated the
case, stated that Mrs. Cornish had told
him she knew nothing of the deed or
the subsequent action of Dow until she
was served with q notice of a default
in two deeds Of trust that had been
placed on her property.
Murray said his inquiry DEVELOPED
that Dow had procured the grantees in
the deed to execute two notes for $3.50
and $2,750, secured by deeds of trust,
which he is said to have used as COL
lateral security for loan Of $4,000.
Dow then had the property decided
back TO Mrs. Cornish, subject to the
two trusts, 1t Is stated, all without the
knowledge of the widow, with whom he
had been acquainted for some years.
Brought Civil Action.
The indictment contains no reference
to the making Of the deeds of trust and
relates only to the original deed, which
purported to convey the property to
the Moores.
Mrs. Cornish brought a civil suit in
the District Supreme Court March 80
last against Dow, the Moores and the
trustees under the deeds OF trust, to
cancel the deed mentioned in the in
dictment and also the deeds Of trust re-
ferred to by Mr.. Murray. This suit is
still pending.
Dow was admitted to the bar Octo-
Der 6, 1928.

IN FRONT OF CAFE
Man Who Acted as Own
Lawyer at Sing Sing
Shot in New York.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 12.-Roy H.
Sloane, 80, ex-convict. who acted as
his own lawyer in successful efforts to
get out of Sing Sing, was killed in
front Of Dyckman street cafe early
today by shots from a passing auto
mobile.
Sloane, who at first was identified
as John McDermott, dragged himself
along the streets for ABOUT $50 feet
before he collapsed at a policeman
feet. He died In Jewish Hospital With
out regaining consciousness.
A man and woman in the cafe told
police that four men drove up in a
large sedan, shot Sloane and dashed
away again before they could obtain
the license number.
Sloane, police said, stole automobiles
to obtain tuition for college. He was
sent TO Sing Sing for theft, studied
law in prison and by legal technical
tiles obtained a new trial He won
himself an acquittal, but before the
case was decided prison keepers found
brass knuckles in his possession.
He was sentenced to seven years more
for an attempt to escape from prison

ne could not have tried to Escape from
prison when he was illegally incarcer-
ated. The Court Of Appeals granted
him new trial, arguments being made
by a regular lawyer retained by his
mother, Mrs. Anna B. Sloane, author
and lecturer.
The escape case was then dismissed
and ne received suspended sentence
for possession Of concealed weapons,
which meant his freedom.
Two months after his release he and
Jack Gtller were arrested in a Fifth
avenue building, wnere they had at
tempted, police say, to steal 5000
worth OF diamonds. He was cut on bal.
in that case when shot.

ing on q new earth, something like q
great avalanche that would push the
white people on into the sea and drown
them and restore to the Indians their
buffalo, deer. wild turkey and all the
things they had before the coming Of
the white men.
They thought all the Indians would
have to do to be saved was to accept
the belief and actively engage in the
dancing and the ceremonies that went
with it.
There was much excitement among
the Indians of my tribe as well as the
other tribes through the United States.
Upon my own initiative, approved by
the Indian agency, I made q trip to
Pine Ridge. S. Oak, looking for the
Messiah. He was not there and I was
told to go to Shoshone, Wyo. He was
not there. I YVES then told to 60 to
Fort Hail. Idaho. He was not there
When left I was told to go to Pyra-
mid Lake, New, and when I reached
there was told Jesus was in a lodge
nearby. I dressed up and approached
the lodge with deep reverential feeling.
"a Piute Indian by the name Of Jack
Wilson was in the tent, and claimed to
be the Messiah. After remaining with
him for days I found he was fake
and there was nothing to this Messiah
craze story. I then returned to the
Kiowa reservation and had much to do
with convincing my people the Messiah
craze teaching was all false. I met the
Arapaho Indian by the name Of Sitting
Bull, who was greatly exciting the
Cheyenne and Arapaho and other In
dams in this part CT the country. I told
them there was no truth in his teach
ing and that he ought to stop it. He
did at my request stop his work among
the Indians.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott was detailed
by the War Department to work among
the different tribes in this part of the
country during the excitement caused
by the Messiah craze. He knows the
part took in helping to convince the
people that they were being mislead.
I refer you to look to the book written
by Gen. Scott, Some Memories of O
Soldier quote the following: I rep
resented this to the President who
presented him with a silver medal, and
the Indian commissioner promised to
build him a house, a promise that was
never fulfilled"
But, Dr. Smith reveals, the Indian
Office has at last given the aged man
his $780, which he used for the repair
of a house he built himself many
years ago. In 1891, he found, the claim
had been approved by the commissioner
of Indian affairs, but had been over
ruled by the Secretary of the Interior.
Hpeahtone, he says, always has been
one of the progressive" Indians, but
for many years was a devotee Of the
peyote cult, in the study of which DR..
Smith came in contact with him. He
has now reformed.

election, however, that the Jameson

appeared before the Legislative Com
mittee on Transportation which is in
vestigating the New England Railroad

Besides disappearing proposals to allo-

withdrawal of the Pennsylvania and
New York Central Railroads from con-
troll or ownership in New England
roads.
Consolidation of New England Rail-

section, he said.
Regarding competition from buses
and private automobiles for the rail-

their money into buses are going
to lose it, just as those who invested
in trolley lines" He predicted that
within the next five years the buses
would be regulated so as virtually to
eliminate them from the transportation
