RISKED CAPTURE HERE.
This story, tho truth at last about
George M. Wagner, became known today
through tho police It became known also
that on May 16, Just uovon days after ho
had disappeared, Wagner calmly risked
capturo and dlsgraco by coming back to
this City anu going rapiuiy uver imputa
In his ofllco at 20 South 12th street. How
he eluded tho pollco nnd accomplished
this has not been made known. It never
will be, In all probability, for the lips of
the only man who could tell have been
tealcd by death.
Wagner died under thojissumed namo
of Charles Smith. Ilia body will reach
this city next Monday. Identification was
made today by Joseph Carson, trustco In
bankruptcy for tho Wagner estate, and
T. Barton Rettow, an attorney, who went
to New Orleans when they heard of
Charles Smith's death. Two aged women,
his nearest of kin, will see that his body
Is buried In tho Wagner family plot. They
have forgiven him, although they had
much to forgive. Each was tricked by
Wagner. One Is his aunt, Miss J. Wag
ner. 4310 Gennantown avenue; tho other
Is his stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth A. Wag
ner, of Lansdowne, with whom ho lived
before ho lied.
Mrs. Wagner Is particularly bitter
against men sho refuses to name whom
she accuses of having led her stepson
astray.
"Yes," sho s(.ld today, "we have heard
that Georgo was dead. We were glad to
hear finally something about him. It
ended the suspense. Thcro had been no
word from him since ho disappeared. Wo
have forgiven him, but his aunt and I
will never forglvo Tho men responsible
lor ms aowmnu. ueorgo biiuicu ukuiusi
us, and he Is beyond pumsnment, ana me
men who put him on tho wrong road havo
not been apprehended."
A few weeks ago Wagner's aunt, who
Is now more than 80 years old, filed a
petition In Court of Common Fleas beforo
Ti,irrrt T1ro-v noWlntr trt cinvn HtaMnrAil
null the transfer Of propertyworth J20.000
rrom ner name to tnat or ner nepnew.
This transfer was Wagner's last desperate
act In his strugglo to raise money by
any means that would help him to his
cherished dream of owning a paying gold
mine. Decision has not yet been mado In
the case.
The gold mine In which Wagner Is said
to have sunk his stolen fortune Is lo
cated, the pollco say, on the Indiana
Ranch,, three miles north of Doblln Cali
fornia, Two days after Wagner's disap
pearance a telegram for which he had
been waiting In Now Tork came to this
city. It mado an appointment far him
with men whose names havo not been
divulged at a hotel in San Francisco.
WENT TO COAST.
Wagner returned to this city on tho
l!th. He got tho telegram, but In the
hurry of his departure left it behind In
his desk. He then hurried out to tho
Pacific coast, it Is believed, and made
arrangements with his mjaterlous corre
spondents to finance tho gold mine that
didn't pan out.
How long It was before Wagner learned
he had lost Is not known. Apparently his
hope, lived for more than a year, as he
was reported alive in San Francisco about
even months ago. By the tlmo local
police got on his trail ho had disappeared
again.
, '"".route since then has been partially
traced by the pollco through reports from

Conflicting Testimony Gives Judge
Staako n Hard Problem.
A look "of hopelessness camo over Judge
Staako today when he heard tho case of
Joseph and Morris Busctiel against Isaac

his ii years' experience as a lawyer and
Judge, had he heard such a conflict of
testimony.
Eliminating the, legal phraseology tha
