Tlio story of how Charles Woolrldge , alias
Woollngton , managed to get out of jail after
pleading guilty to having committed a dozen
or moro forgeries has been printed In The
Dec. Hut Woollngton In not the only forger
who has not been punished when nil the
necessary evidence of hi ) guilt was nt hand.
There Is mother case that Is quite'as re
markable.
On November 24 , 1893 , Victor J. Trevnlne
was nrrested on tlio charge of forgery. Tre
vnlne hnd been In Omaha for several months
nnd had done Rome work for the Omnlia
Tinware Manufacturing company , located at
the corner of Twentieth nnd Vlnton streets.
Ho wns tried In police court and held by
Judge Bcrka to the district court in the sum
of $800 , but he never came to trial and there
don't seem to bo any good reason why he
wns not prosecuted In the district court.
It wns shown In the preliminary hearing
In pollco court tlmt Trevalne hnd presented ,
In payment of n bill at L. W. Sautter's gro
cery store a check purporting to be for $53
drawn on n bank at Little Hock and en
dorsed by Trevalne. Tlie grbccr accepted
the check and gave change to thu amount of
$18 In cash. When Mr. Sautter presented
the check at the First National bank the
paying teller glanced at tlio writing and nt
once pronounced It a forgery. After Tre-
valno had been committed to jail it was dis
covered tlmt several other worthless checks
endorsed by him had been passed In other
parts of the city , and those matters were
reported to the county attorney. Tlio evi
dence appeared to be conclusive , and a half
dozen cases were held In reserve to bu used
In case tlie man wan not convicted on the
original complaint filed by Mr. Sautter. But
none of tlio oilier cases \vere \ ever called.
Mr. Trovalne had a way of getting out ol
jail that did not have any reference to the
use of witnesses.
Witnesses In the Sautter case were sub
poenaed for December 19 , but when they ap
peared In court they were informed that
the case had been continued until the Feb
ruary term of court , The witnesses re
ceived no further notice , but on February
27 , 1891 , the county attorney nolicd the
ca.se and tlio defendant was discharged from
custody.
There are no papers on file In the case In
the district court. The papers have been
taken away and the lawyer who got them
has failed -to furnish the customary receipt
for the documents. The only records are
the entries giving the title of the case
"State of Nebraska vs V. J. Trnvin , forgerj
and uttering forged paper. " The date ot
arraignment , December 18 , 1893 , the date
of the nolle proseqtli February 27 , 1894 , and
the names of the witnesses complete the
record of the case , so far ns the district
clerk Is concerned.
THE JAILT RECORD.
The record In the county jail on the dis
missal of Trevalno Is ns follows :
State of Nebraska vs. V , J. Trevalne
Information forgery and uttering check-
On motion of the county attorney It Is by
the court ordered that nolle prosequl be
nnd the same hereby Is entered herein.
And It Is by the court ordered that the de
fendant be and hereby Is discharged from
custody.
To this Is attached the certificate of Frank
E. Moores , clerk of the district court , to the
effect that the foregoing was a full and com
plete record of the proceedings in the cai = e
against Trovnlno In the district court on
February 28.
Then came the following order :
Jailer You Vlll .release V. J. Trevalne
by order of the court.
JOHN DUEXEL , Sheriff.
Uy H. UosenzweleDeputy. .
Dated Omaha , Neb. , Feb. 28 , 1891.
But It must not bo supposed that there Is
nothing to tlie case on account of the
meagreness of the records. There , Is much
to the case that would not look we'll on the
records.
STORY OF A VICTIM.
L. W. Sautter , ono of the complaining
witnesses , and one of Trevalne's victims ,
has a grocery store at 1047 South Twentieth
street. He was seen by a reporter. Mr.
Sautter was not In a good humor about the
matter at all. "I don't understand It , " ho
Bald. "Trovalno was employed as a lltho-
grnthcr In the tin works across the way and
owed me a bill ot $12. One day ho came
\ ' to mo with a check on n bank In Little
Ilock , Ark. , endoised by himself , for $53 ,
nml I gave him the change. Shortly after
wards I went over to see Mr. Allen of the
tin works nnd we concluded the check wns
a forgery. Then It was taken to the First
National bank and the cashier throw It
out. Trevalne was arrested and the police
Judge held him to the' district court under
bonds of $800. Wo were nil subpoenaed to
the district court on December 19 , and were
told that the case had been continued to the
February term. This was the last of It.
"Trovolno's wife came to my store several
times with a pitiful story and' asked mo to
have mercy on 1ier husband , and to make
u statement to the county attorney or the
court , or somebody , to ( the effect that Tre
valno was Innocent of the crime charged.
Of-courso I refused , for I knew that he was
guilty. Her attorney , J. G. Tlpton , came to
BCD mo also and got tlio same answer. I
wanted the man to have a fair trial. In
February wo went to the court again and
reiterated our belief that the man was
guilty , but there was no trial of any sort.
Nona of us testified , but Mr. Slabaugh told
the Judgn that ho had no good testimony
nnd Trevnlno went free. It was the strang
est thing I ever heard of. "
WAS SUHE OF TREVAINR'S GUII/T.
Joseph Allen of the Omaha Tinware Man
ufacturing company was oven moro aston
ished at the turn of the case than was Mr.
Sautter. "Why , " said ho , "It was the
clearest case of forgery I over heard of ,
I saw that check of Sautter's and the ink
was hardly dry on cither side. I had some
of his paper , too , and have yet , or at least
Slabaugh Irs , and Slabnugh told mo that
'he ' thought he could make a better case on
the forgery which Trovalno worked on me
than on the Sautter case. My check was on
a bank nt Conncaut , 0. , for $200 , and I
paid Trevalne $70 on It. Before the trial
came up I sent the check to Conncaut ana
was Informed that It was n forgery , or at
least that there was no such party there.
It's thg queerest thing I ever heard of.
Why , any one can go Into the forgery busi
ness at that rate and do well at It. I went
down to the county attorney's ollico a halt
dozen times , and was always asked If I did
not think that Trevalno was Innocent. I
said , 'No , sir ; I bellovo ho is guilty as the
devil. ' Why , people all around hero had
checks of the same sort , and money came
from somewhere to take them up so there
would bo no prosecution ,
"The county attorney wanted to push
the case nt tlmt and then wanted mo to
admit that the man was not guilty. Finally
I went to the county attorney and said ;
'If you think Trovalno has suffered enough
and want to lot him go , all right , but
don't let him off because I think he Is In
nocent , for I don't. I believe ho Is guilty
t and would like to BOO him put through. '
"The day Trovatne was discharged we
were down In the county attorney's office
and Slabaugh und Knloy were both- there
talking the case over , Slabaugh said ho
would go nnd get the papers In the case
and whllo ho , was after them n telephone-
message came sAylng that Judge Scott
wanted to see Knloy In court. We went
up with ICnley and Judge Scott asked me
whnt I wns going to do about the case , and
whether or not I bulleved the man a forger.
I said 'I he Is ' and then
If ! : nni sure , Sla-
h tuuch came In and said he did not want
the case to come up In that way and had
It neil * !
"I . "wns the maddest man you over saw.
There wasn't n shadow of doubt of the man's
guilt , .though Slahuugh did claim that ex-
porti could bo got to testify that the checks
were not forgeries ,
"Somebody got some money and I am
out $75. .Trovnlnu had a tine gold wntch
nud chain und money from several quar
ters that would make It pay. Ho got free
nnd the cane ngalnst him was an clear as
any ever tried. "
GOOD EVIDENCE NOT USED.
Frank N. Clarke , the paying teller nt
the First National bank , ' Is the man who
threw out the .check presented by Mr. Saut
ter , .Ills nnmo docs not appear on the
district clerk's docket as n witness , but
hln 'testimony was given at the preliminary
hearing at the police court. Mr. Clarke
said that nt first glance the check looked
Busplcloiin , as It had been made out on a
blank used as n sample by some lithograph
ing houno with the word "sample , " which
had been printed on the lower margin , very
cleverly cut off , and on examination he
was convinced that the writing on the face
of the check and the endorsement was the
worlupf the same man , In response to n
telegram to Little Ilock , Ark. , Mr. Clarke
says word was received that the check was
worthless. This was the substance of Mr.
Clarke's testimony at the preliminary In
vestigation at the police court.
After the preliminary Investigation and
whllOxTrovnlno was In the county jail Mr.
Clarke was sent for by the prisoner or
some one Interested In his behalf. Ho called
upon Trevalne , who tried to convince him
that there had been no forgery. Ho was
Komcwhat noncommittal and Ills services
were dispensed with after that. Ho does not
remember whether ho was subpoenaed to
appear before the district court , but nt any
rate ho never appeared nnd beard no more
of thu case until ho met Trovalnc on the
street rtfter his release. He says ho Io con
vinced that the check was n forgery , but
apparently no ono wanted him to so state
before the court.
Till ED TO CATCH OTHER VICTIMS.
Councilman Frank Ilurklcy of the llurk-
ley Printing company Is another man who
knows something about the Trevalne
forgery case. Mr. Uurkley states that
shortly before tlio arrest Trevalno had been
figuring with him for a contract on litho
graphic work and particularly on his ability
to lithograph directly on tin. After he had
established an acquaintance Trevalne made
an effort to have Mr. Uurkley endorse a
check but failed.
Domlnlck Hart , who runs a saloon nt
Sixteenth and Cn ) > ltol avenue , became con
vinced that Trevalne was a good fellow
and cashed ono of his checks for $19.CO. He
discovered the check to bo a forgery and
threatened to have Trovalne arrested. The
money -was then refunded. Hart was one
of the witnesses ready to.testify In court ,
but was never called.
WHAT THE POLICE KNOW.
The police authorities knew Trevalno very
well. His picture adorns tlio rogues' gal
lery In every largo city In the country and
tlio local authorities were keeping track of
him while ho wax In jail with a view of
having his record fully looked up before ho
got out of his trouble with the forgery. The
authorities were very much surprised then
a few days ago to find Hint the man had been
dismissed by the county attorney. One of
the best detectives In the city says that
Trovalno Is a counterfeiter , and was at the
head of tlio gang that flooded this city and
Council Illuffs with counterfeit $10 bills a few
years or so ago * When he was In jail be
fore his preliminary trial Trevalno told
City Jailer Havey that he had at one time
been mixed up with a gang that had plans
laid to defraud the Brazilian government ,
but that the plans missed flro and the gang
was broken Up. Ho also admitted to Havcy
Ills connection with another man In the
city , also an expert lithographer , who had a
sto ne prepared for a trial at counterfeiting
In Omaha , and Mr. Havcy notllied the fed
eral authorities of the fact and a well known
United States detective went to the Jail o
sco Trevalne , but he had been dismissed by
the county authorities.
Trevalno Is at liberty and reports have
been received from Sioux City and other
points where ho has worked his scheme
since ho left Omaha and before he came
hero. Judge Tlpton , who was also Wool-
Ington's attorney , wears the flno gold watch
which Trev'airio hod when arrested , and at
least flvo'tnen In Omaha who lost money arc
wondering what the laws are for.

Latest Concerning tlio Action of the Iluut-
Ington-SfiirlpK-Crofker King.
SAN FUANCISCO , March 30. The Kx-
nmtncr days : Isaac K Hequa was elected
president of the Central Pacific Railroad
company yesterday , as were also the fol
lowing directors : James Gunn , George
Lathrop , R. P. Schwerln , W. II. Mills an'd
C. E. Urethcrton. This elves only six
members to the directorate , there being a
vacancy yet to bo tilled.
It Is said that Huntlngton. Crocker and
Searles have been selling Central Pacific
stock , and that at the present moment
they hold only a few shares of those se
curities , while the Stanford estate prob.T-
bly holds more Central Pacific stocks than
all of the original interests combined. The
fact is , the Huntlngton-Crocker-Searles In
terests htivp sold out their Central Pacific
stock and have left the Stanford corner to
"hold the sack. "
C. P. Huntlngton stated to the Call to
night that he was still a member of the
Central Pacific directorate , and Intimated
that It was not the public's business what
was done by thu railroad. ,
He denied that the attitude of the British
stockholders had anything to do with the
recent changes In the Central Pacific. Ho
also denied that Mrs. Stanford's action had
anything to do with the matter , and said
that he was on the best of terms with her.
Mr. Huntlngton further suld that the
statement that the Central Pacific had
debts amounting to $00,000,000 coming duo
In ulna months was untrue. Then ; Is
only { 2,000,000 due and he said : "I can
raise $ -.000,000 In twenty-four hours It nec
essary. "
"Will your debt to the government ever
bo paid ? was asked.
"Yes , ultimately , " he replied.
"When Is ultimately ? "
"I don't know , " said the magnate.

She has had no symptoms of consumption for the past sis .years.
