SHADY RECORD IS LONG Man Who Is Found Continuing: Hia Operations While In Seattle Jail. Slay Be Called to Explain Oregon Peal. Through the discovery that D. A. Hatfield, a convicted real estate swin dler, who formerly operated here, hag been carrying; on the aame buslnp from behind the bars of the King County. Washington. Jail, and the al leged fact that some of the certifica tions were made In Portland, new Im petus ha been given the desultory investigation which ha been going on for more than a year In an effort to get at the bottom of a tangled skein of fraudulent transactions Involving a score or more of criminal and more or less Innocent dupes. Steps are being taken now to trace the course of the swindles here. At torney, stenographer, real eiate men and other are Implicated, Inferen tlally, in the work of preparing: the false deed, of which many have come n ii.i.. i. ih. t.aiwis of Innocent per son. About a year ago prosecution were commenced, but failed to reach the arch criminal nnd were dropped without conviction being obtained. 5yatera la Klakopate. The method of the conspirator 1 to prepare a forged deed to a piece of property in some distant place, which is then passed from hand to hand among those In the plot, rich Hep be ing dulv recorded. With the deed goe a forged abstract, duly certified by a non-existent title company. This at length Is traded to a victim for real estate or chattels, because the di'al Is likely to be viewed with les suspicion when actual cash Is not In volved. Because of this fact, little financial harm was done by the swin dlers here, as it was possible In near ly every case to revoke the trade when the fraud waa discovered. First discovery of the system was made In March. 111. when two Eaat Side grocers complalrad to the Ulstrlct Attorney that they had traded their stock to swindlers for a piece of tim ber land In Sout'iern Oregon, m-hlcli thev found later was owned by a woman In Kansas. They accused J. F. Roth and George Sanborn, real eatate men. Roth es caped and has not been found. San horn I a partner of Hatfield and from this time appeara again and again In the swindles that have come to light. The victims. J. A. Cobb and F. C. Dil lingham, received an abstract purport ing to have been issued by James K. Hare, of Crania Ta. MIIb rsnea lasjnlry. Wider scone wa given the Investiga tion in May. 111. when, by a chance. It waa discovered at the Courthouse that two deed had been offered for record for one piece of property. Charles F. Glrard. a restaurant-keeper, said he had traded a ring worth $1500 for the second deed, which was fraudu lent. Harry Vlereck. a real estate dealer, wss found to he Involved In the deal, which was made through the office of I). R. Amvlon, a notary, at HSt, First street. In th following deals, either Vlereck. Amadon or the office at that number wa Involved, dl. rectly or Indirectly. Hearing of this exposure. Ray F. Smith, a Jeweler, of Eugene, reported to the authorities that he had traded with the same parties, exchanging hla home In Eugene for California prop erty, which lie found out was in the heart of a cemetery. He accused Jo seph C Gibson, secretary of the Trav elers" Protective Association, who wa one of those transferring the property, but pros-cutton w not pressed against him. It appearing that he waa used simply to give an appearance af activ ity to the trading In the property. Charles K. Ellon, bicycle deal er, was arrested for having given a deed to the. same property, but succeeded In convincing the court that he had traded for It In good faith. Search was made for John C. Nelson, who appeared a the grant ing party, but he wa not found, and Is now believed to be identical cither with Sanborn or Hatfield. latfleld Make Kaeape. Hatfield escaped from this Jurisdiction at the eve of the exposures, and first definite Information of his connection with them came from Seattle last Aug ust, after he had been arrested there for similar offenses. At the same time Sanborn and Joe Iyer were arretted. Hattleld operated at Seattle under the name of M. G. German, and It waa through a letter addressed to him In that name. In care of a Portland attor ney, and forwarded to the Seattle Jail, that the authorities got trace of his Portland record. The letter contained a suspicion looking deed, drawn up by the Portland attorney, whose innocent or knowing connection with the frauds the prosecution here has not been able to fathom. Hatfield, Sanborn and Dyer were ar rested at Seattle for an attempt to swindle an automobile firm by aeeklng to trade a forged mortgage for an auto mobile. This mortgage also was drawn, ostensibly, by the Portland agents. While awaiting trial Hatfield Bought to break Jail, and waa sentenced to a minimum term of two year for that offense. I'yer turned state' evidence and was released, bring arrested Im mediately and brought here, where he was Indicted for a new fraud In which he is alleged tn have participated with Sanborn and Hatfield. He Is now In the County Jail awaiting trial, which is et for the current month. omaa la Implicated. The offense for which Dyer is held opens new channels. Involving a young woman etenographei . who appears to have assisted In drawing many of the papers, though perhaps innocent. San born appeared one day at the office of Attorney D. A- Tufts, asking him to affix his notarial seal to th atgnaturo of Peter A. Hope to a deed for property In Jackson County. As Hope was not present to acknowledge the signature. Tufts refused to place his Jurat, and Sanborn went away, appearing later with a man he aaid waa Hope. This man ha been identified aa I'yer. Hatfield ha been figured all the time as th head and brains of the conspir acy, and the officers hare are not sur prised to hear that ha used his position aa an office trusty to put through false deeds to 16.U0U acres of oil lands In California, it is probable that his re lease In Washington will be watched, and that he will be brought back here to anawer to a multitude of charges. The forged deed swindle wss worked In Portland aa far back a six years ago. and ainillarity of methods points to the Identity of at least part of the am-iudlei with those appearing In the more recent case. Because ot the grester or smaller degree of Innocent purchase hlrh entered into every case, the authorities have been nnable to separate the criminals from tbe ac- Piano Buyers Attention WE'RE UP AGAINST IT!

T I vTCr ,-f 1 i Sfl K -eapV4 We've just received notice from the Railroad Company that two carloads of Pianos have arrived and must be unloaded at once. This is a shipment that has been delayed over two months. Our present quarters are crowded to the limit right now. What to do with these two carloads of pianos is a problem. There is onlv one thing to do and that is to sell and sell quickly. " To do this we fully realize that we must make prices an,d terms never before dreamed of. These pianos are from one of America's largest and finest factories. They are strictly high grade in every respect. Beautiful Tone Easy Action Superb Case Designs and Mottled Mahogany, Burl Walnut and genuine Quarter-sawed Oak and fully guaranteed for ten years. Never before have they sold for less than $400 anywhere. But we must do business quickly. Prices and terms have been lost sight of. We're not going to ask vou $325 or $300 or even $275. Take your choice for only $246. Pay $5 down and $5 a month. Did you ever hear of such low prices before ? Did you ever hear of such easy terms before ? Our loss is your gain.

The small amount of actual harm done to the purchasers Is another reason why the IHstrict Attorney' office has not pro ceeded more vigorously. It is believed tht the syndicate is thoroughly broken up now, so far a Portland Is concerned. In all more than a dosen forged deeds have been uncovered, and It is thought probable that others are In existence in esses where the victims have not yet dis covered that they have been swindled.

Green, a Mount Tabor merchant, wanted his wife to "make his pet bulldog one of the family." she sent the animal away In his absence, and as a consequence R. AV. Hubbel, a former fish warden, was in Municipal Court yesterday to answer to a charge or having stolen th dog. Incidentally tliere was a family spat between Mr. and Mrs. Green when the wife, to five an Innocent man, took the witness stand and gave her husband hi first Intimation that ahe was the cause of the disappearance of his dog. Mrs. Green said her husband washed the dog in tbe kitchen and used her best towels to dry the bow-wow. "Am I supposed to live with thi dog for this man's sake?" she demanded. "He thinks more of the dog than he doe of me." She said that she crated the bulldog pne day and sent It to a friend to be shipped to the country. Then sha tele phoned to her husband that the dog was gone and that she had hired boys to search the neighborhood. Green re fused to believe, even In court yester day, that his wife had anything to do with the disappearance of his pet canine. Green advertised, offering a reward. and those who knew the circumstance thought it would be a great Joke to re. turn the dog and hold him up for the money "to buy boose with." Hubbel wa elected to go to the front, which he did by telephoning to Green that he had the dog and would surrender-It for $10.
