Tbe man who caused the sensation a 1 Oamacu by tbe wholesale issue of bogus cheque?, and who is to appear before the Oourt there to-day, prior to his capture, had completely changed his appearance. On Saturday his face was somewhat begrimed, and ho wore a short, stubby beard, but when seen in the morning the grime and beard had disappeared. q'ho victim, who'saw him after he boarded the train at Waireka, though suspicious, was not oonfidont, but the fellow gave himself away completely. Finding himaeli suspected, he called his victim aside at Maheno, and confessing that he was in a mess offered to make full restitution if his v'oiim would remain silent. The offer was, of course, rejected, and instead tho constable was called, and the arrest made. The accused, who is a big, strong follow, about 40 years of age, gives his name as John Wilson, and says he has a wife and family living in Dunedin, but this story is received by tbe police with some doubt. When searched he had JEI34 17s Id, and most, if not all, of the jewellery purchased was found upon him, and, making deduotion of the paroels left uncalled for, the police believe that tho proceeds of the forgeries have been pretty well recovered.
