EUGENE LAND AGENT
INDICTED AS FORGER
E. J. Frasier Held in Connec
tion With Proceedings Fn
Bankruptcy.
PARTNER THOUGHT MYTH
Clicck Made Out to Dr. T. W. Harris
euld to Have Been Indorsed 11
legally and Preparations Made
to Imitate Bank's l'uncli.
EUGENE, Or., Oct. 13. (Special.)
E. J. Frasier, bankrupt and real estate
dealer, was arrested here today under
an indictment, secretly returned by the
Ijane County grand jury Thursday,
charg-inK him with forgery. The ar
rest is one of a series of sensational
developments in connection with the
Krasier bankruptcy proceedings.
The charge is that Krazier took a
blank check, filled it out, indorsed it
by forging the signature of Lir. T. W.
Harris, and then stamped and per
forated it to make it appear that it had
passed through the bank. This check
was offered by Krasier before Referee
In Bankruptcy Cannon, of Portland, as
evidence that a claim by Dr. Harris
against the bankrupt estate had been
paid.
Appeal Is Taken.
Frasier filed a petition in bankruptcy
about a year ago. His liabilities ag
gregated about $3000. When the case
came for trial before Referee Cannon,
Frasier contended that shares in the
Frasier Real Estate & Holding Com
pany, valued at $10,000, were the prop
erty of his foster brother, William J.
Rogers. Creditors opposed this claim, I
and finally Referee Cannon ruled that
Frazier and Rogers were the same per
sons, and that papers bearing Rogers'
nauip, giving evidence of ownership of
the shares in the real estate company,
had been signed by Frasier.
Referee Cannon declared that in his
opinion Rogers was a myth, and he or
dered the property turned over to the
estate for the benefit of creditors.
Frasier appealed to the United States
iJistrict Court.
Early this Summer a man appeared
In Eugene representing himself to be
William J. Roprers, foster brother of
Frasier. He had come from Paral,
aiexico, to prove his existence and
claim the shares in the Frasier Real
Estate & Holding- Company as his prop
erty. Jlr. Frasier's attorney Introduced
Itogers to the business men of Eugene
and went with him to Portland.
Federal Court Uphold Referee.
When Frasier's case came before
Judge R. S. Bean, in the United States
IJistrict Court at Portland, he sustained
the findings of Referee Cannon, hold
ing that the papers and checks purport
ing to have been signed by Rogers
were forgeries.
Soon after the announcement of
Judge Bean'a decision, Rogers an
nounced that he would pay Frasier's
creditors dollar for dollar. Frasier
intervened and reserved the right to
pi-otest the claims presented by any
creditor. The claim of Dr. T. W. Har
ris was among those protested. A
hearing on the protest was held in
Eugene August 11 by Referee Cannon.
Frasier presented three canceled checks
as evidence that Dr. Harris had been
paid in full. Dr. Harris admitted that
one check was genuine, but declared
the indorsements on the other two
forgeries. On October 10 Frasier filed
a motion with the referee withdraw
ing his protest against the claim of
Dr. Harris and asking that it be al
lowed. Dr. Harris, in the meantime, had laid
the matter before the authorities, and
the case had been submitted to the
Lane County grand Jury, before which
officers of the bank testified that the
cancellations on the checks were not
similar to those made by the machines
In use at the bank.
