Mary Ntlmson Taken toBaltl tore I'M Operation. . , Special to Tha Observer.." " , Statesvllle, r April IT. Daring the past few day there, has been some . very Interesting- developments lathe case of the noted . check flasher, R W. Harris, alias Prescstt; The most discouraging news to. the hotel men of .the State who .were picked up by - Harris is - that be haa been released from custody at Rochester, N.- Y on a writ of habeas corpus- It is stated, bowever, . that he is being -' shadowed by one of the government secret service men who aided in ef- f ectlng-' his arrest,- and it Is further stated that this detective can place - his bands on Harris as soon as th necessary papers arrive from North Carolina. , r . As your ' correspondent under - ' stands -it from the - information ob-j tainablo, the hotel man at Rochester wno cashed a, check for Harris, wno . wss then going under the name of Prescott, could not positively Identify " him - st' the trial as the same man who presented the, check, and the imb was placed in custody until Mr. -. Calvert, the postoffics Inspector, ' could bring his photograph and de . scription to North Carolina and In vestigate the charges against ' Mm hers.-' The- arrest was - made some weeks ago and, having been In jail ; S reasonable length of time without being called on to answer the North - Carolina, charges, the alleged Harris . sought release through a writ or habeas corpus and - tha writ was granted by a New York judge. Feeling sure that Prescott is the same fellow who operated hie game . in North Carolina, from the fact that the check cashed in Rochester Is similar 'to those cashed here, gov ernment secret service men were not disposed to -let the rase pass off so quietly, and when Harris was re leased on-the writ of habeas corpus one of the detectives was Instructed to keep an eye on him until Mr. Cahrert-was - heard - from.. Mr, Cal vert has been going about the State . looking Into the rases here, and the message announcing that Harris had been released did not reach him un- . til a few days ago while he was liw Winston. . He immediately advised the secret service men at Rochester ' to watch the check artist closely and that papers for Ills re-arrest would reach them in a short time. He '- then advised District Attorney Holton of the situation and the latter has Instructed Commissioner II. C. . Cow lea, of Statesvllle, to summon the following-named persons to appear before, the grand Jury of the Federal Court which convens In Statesvllle next Monday: J. O. Marshall, pro prietor of the Marshall Hotel, Hlck- ory; John T. Knight, clerk at Hotel Clegg, Greensboro; George Wlgfall, clerk at the Zlnsendorf Hotel, Win : eton: E. O. Ollmer, proprietor of Hotel Iredell, Statesvllle, and E. M. . Bowman, secretary and treasurer of , the' Missouri Glass Company, St Louis, Mo. AU of these hotel men have Identi fied the photograph of Prescott as that: of Harris, and It is understood 'that. Mr. Bowman will- testify that . ' the signature to the checks forged ' by Harris Is not his. It is assumed . that ' when the grand jury hears tha - evidence a bill of indictment will bt made out against Prescott, alias Harris, and Mr. Calvert will have him re-arrested and brought here. Mr. Calvert feels sure that the man shadowing Prescott will not let him get out, of his reach and can arrest him immediately on the arrival of the necessary papers. Mr. Calvert says that he has-been assigned to work up the cases In North Carolina and he will hav Harris re-arrested . if. he haa to work on the case three years and follow his man to other countries He is working under the .directions of the Postmaster Oeneral. who promised to help ratch Harris and bring him to trial. 'ACTION IN 8TATJ2 COURTS In the meantime Mr. Gilmer hns taken action against Harris in the State courts. Acting on the advice 7 - ef Mr. Calvert, who did not at that time know that Prescott, alias Har ris, had been released, Mr. Gilmer .appeared before Judge Ixtng a few days ago and had the latter Issue ; a bench warrant for Harris. This warrant was sent to Governor Glenn " Immediately, , lh Governor having - .promised Mr. Gilmer - In .person ..at Saltoburnr few days afeor. that he ,- would ixsue requisition papers Im mediately, and place them in the i hands -fif -Mr. Calvert In he sent tfl the "proper authorities at Rochester. Whether, these papers have gone forward Is -not known here, . Mr. Oal wert being in another part of the , mats. -'It would be a great pity If Harris should get away. The six hotel men in . the State who cashed bogus checks for him are feeling a little - better now because they think Har , rls Is under arrest and will be punished, and It would be too had if they are disappointed. l - Iredell - county Republican prt " marlfs will be held to-morrow after . noon, and the county convention - meets Tuesday. c Messrs.

Some time ago the bid of a Chicago party for the bonds was accepted, but he failed -to deposit a certified check In accordance with the trm of the sale snd the deal was called off.

Quite a number of such elections' has been held in the county during the past' few months snd only one has failed to carry. Mr. ,,W. G.

Starrctte Makes a Statement In Defense of Himself and In De nial of Certain Things Said About , Him. in Tbe. AsnevlUe CiUaen. To the Editor ot The Observer: - ' Since t' havs been so bitterly ma- llmoHInr the nast week OT .t WO,- I feel that I ought to make a statement ana 1 am sorry umi n dot""" "m " -aary to resort to this method. " The llACK, a am Duici . ..p- " bv an article minted In The Asheville Citisen supposed by the attacking mrtv to have been written by me. I hail nnlr a'a-Lance at the article, none of which was founded upon truth. I do not know the author of it It er tainiv was a vile fabrication from start to finish The-writers at Paa ersvllle rave me credit for it. I did not write or dictate a word of it. TheJarr,vedi article had me nia out amuna mo laurels of the mountains with a changed or assumed name, and . had The Mitchell Observer, which was strlctlv non-nolltlcal. changed to a Renubllcan naoer. There was, or is, no around for this statement. All this undesired publicity sprung from that article. .1 have published The Mitch ell Observer for a few Weeks over a year. It Is a sure 'criterion of what I am. My motto has been to build up not to tear down. It is human to err. snd while I may have committed many blunders in my life none has been with intent to In jure myself or any one, else. . I am not proof against mistakes I try as hard as any man. living to ao ngnt. tne neeuea ana neorswu-y nnirruw but It seems that when I would do mente made here without fulfilling good, evil Is present with me. If the monster does not come in one form. he will In snother. "Happy Is that man who haa no history." If ths DI- vine hand could scrutinise my life and lay It open to the public. It could ap- pear no worse than it now does. I do not at any time wilfully commit wrong, and when I discover .that I have done wrong I try not to repeat It A cruel charge to fight and no employment, places, a man In a most unenviable position, especially when I he has a family to support. If the heavy weight klone could rest upon my ewn shoulders, the esse would bei different. I am ruthlessly called by one of these writers "an old tramp." This Is unkind and absolutely false. I do not know what I may have to do be fore I am called to pass over the river of time, but up to this date I have not been quite ao unfortunate, I have never wronged in the least a single msn that haa so bitterly attacked me. I have been accused of "walking to Bakersvllle" when I first went there. I cannot sen any crime or harm tn that, were It true. I have taught my self to believe that there Is no dis grace In stooping to menial service when necessary. I never hire work done that I can do myself, and I never undervalue a man because he haa mud on his feet or a patch on his clothes. Another Inference that may be drawn from one of these writers Is that with 1,300 subscribers a mort gage of 1200 ought to have been rais ed. Probably 400 of the 1,800 paid $1 each tn advance, about 200 paid SO cents each tn advance, while the remainder paid 25 cents each In ad vance. .That would amount to about 1700 a year. Tbe expense alone was very near that amount, which would leave only a small margin to live upon. I hope that this will suffice to alia? the troubled waters, and if I am spar ed a few years longer I will show to the world that I am not a "tramp' or a hideous monster. I close this article with no III feel ings towards the writers of the articles referred to. for It was natural for them to resent such an article as ap peared In The Ashevllle Cltlien. This hope will-put a stop to all this un pleasantness. Mooresvllle. April 17th. P. S Another statement that I owed debts in the town from 150 down to $1 Is misleading.

This Is not the first time that the officials of the Southern have promised to nata the promise tn any manner whatever, For months ths Town of Lexington waited patiently for ths Southern to act but nothing was dons and then an appeal was made to the corporation commission. After a time assurances were received that something over 12,000 was to be expended here, and that the work would be done Imme diately. Two months have elapsed and nothing has been done. Anoth er attempt will be mads to get ths corporation oonvmlssion-to enaks an order requiring .the southern to maxe the necessary .Improvements.' In rainy weather the walk around the station and along the tracks -where It la necessary to walk in boarding the trains is (n a dreadful condition and could be remedied by a few car loads of gravel, but this has not even been done. - Not only are accommo dations around the depot about as poor as can he found In -' towns- oi half this size, but the service tn se curing tickets is so. very poor that even the accommodations or ens de pot otherwise pale Into inslgnifloance whmi compared to it - Not long since your correspondent happened to be at the station wnen one ot uie night northbound trains was due to pass. The tram was due hers shortly after o'clock. A traveling man reached the station 12 minutes before the train was due to arrive, according to the time It was marked up, and the agent had already dos ed down the -window snd absolutely refused to sell him a ticket, stating that he bad orders to close down the window at that time and go to work at the operator's desk. This Is said to be a common occurrence. This nreafie that passengers have to reach ths- trains for the early, night and also early morning trains more than 15 minutes before the train is due to arrive or else have to board ths train without getting their baggage checked' or securing a. ticket. Under the new law a passenger Is -required to pay IS cents additional where the fire Is Dald on the train whien a ticket might Nhave been secured in a reasonable time before the arrival or the train. Allowing this extra charge makes the action of the Southern 1 tiavlns: the oftV. closed ao long be fore the arrival f the train ail tn nvore unjuet.
