CONVERSE IN MORE TROUBLE Disbarred Attorney is Now Indicted on a Ohargo of Forgery. HIS QUEER DEALINGS ARE COMING OUT .MnnlpulnMon of nil AlHilnvIt In tlic Supreme Court Film lir IlnnU of the I'rcHctitmeiit Upturned by ( lie Crnnil Jury. Charles H. Converse of Avoca , a former well known member of the Pottawattumle ; | county bar , has been Indicted by the district I court grand Jury recently In session at Avoca on the charge of forgery. The indictment is n Bcauel to the proceedings brought before Judge Smith In the district court here last December and which resulted In the dis barment of Converse. At that time three charges were brought against Converse , j The first was that he had procured and i had assisted In procuring a fraudulent dlsI I position , which ho Introduced In evidence In a case brought against him by Mrs. Mar garet Foote. The second charge was that he had abstracted this deposition when it was charged that It was fraudulent from the flies In the office of the clerk of the district court in Avoca. The third charge was that ho had altered an affidavit made by Court Reporter O. C. Gaston of Tabor before filing It In connection with a case ho had before the supreme court. It was on this last charge that the grand Jury returned an in dictment against him. Converse was placed under arrest , but furnished ball In the sum of $1,000 for his appearance In court. The exact charge Is that Converse altered nn affidavit made by Court Reporter Gaston nnd which Converse presented to the su preme court In the case of John T. Hnzen , sheriff , against Jacob Sleek , appealed from the district court of Avoca. Converse's client was defeated In the district court and nn appeal was Intended , but the proper steps were delayed until It became necessary to make a showing In explanation of the delay * In order to got the case filed with the supreme court. This Converse , It Is alleged , sought to do by getting an affidavit from O. C. Gaston , court reporter for Judge Thornell , before whom the case was tried , to the effect that the transcript In the case had been ordered "In the spring , " but that Gaston had been too busy to prepare It In time. time.Mr. Mr. Gnston , when this affidavit , prepared by Converse , was presented to him for his signature , called attention to the fact that the order for the transcript had been given to him In Juno nnd ho refused to sign the affidavit unless it was altered to conform to the absolute facts In the case. Finally a line was drawn through the words "In the spring" and nbovo It was written "June , " the erasure nnd addition being made In Ink. It Is charged that when the affidavit appeared In the supreme court the Ink marks had been carefully scratched out , leaving it to read that the application for the transcript was made In the spring In stead of June. It was further charged that the affidavit was later secured by Converse from the supreme court nnd that ho then erased the word "spring" and wrote In again the word "June. " The affidavit was produced In evidence at the disbarment proceedings , but at the con clusion of the hearing mysteriously disap peared from the court filings and no trace of It has since been gotten. At the time It was openly charged that Converse or some of his friends were responsible for Its disappearance in order that it should not be introduced In evidence against him in case criminal proceedings should be brought. The disbarment of Converse was the first In the history of the bar of this county and attracted considerable attention throughout the state at the time.
