Ceqpact _ PCOE C According to Mr. Linnen, oGrman's peculiarities first came to -- notice after the fall off the laundry wagon. He was in the General hospital in Minneapolis a long time, &nd after his recovery returned to work for the American Linen company, wbgo he had been a reliable employe. But he came back a different person, and stole from the company, Mr. Linnen says. He was not prosecuted -- for that offense. a ougl h. ols Gorman's folks live in Robbins-- dale. eH fell in love with a girl be longing to a good family in Minpe apolis and they were married. Given & brb by his lu'tlhor-ln-hw. he "robm t firm blind," ueorglns to story his wife told the federal men later. For family reasons, that idio-- syancracy also seems to have been overlooked. , ' . Talked of War | When the war broke out, Gorman enthused and-- finally . startled . his family and friends, by the fervor of his patriotism. Hé went to a, cloth-- ing store and bought handsome and well--fitting uniforms, in which hbe paraded about. He talked 'eloquently of war in general and this war in Lp:ilcular. He did everything but e £. -- _ 3 a% Finally, Mr. Linnen says, the draft officials got hold of him and sent him to an examination .camp in Texas There he was rejected and given travel money home. His total absence from Minneapolis was from November 5 to 15, 1918, the records show. -- ~ The next thing that happened was the arrival of a check from the gov-- ernment for $30, representing $15 pay and $15 allotment '"en b ythe ogvernment to a soldief's wife.. The check was addressed to Mrs. Gor-- man. Gorman signed her name to it and cashed it. A month later an-- other check came, sent by mistake |Oorman cashed that also, signing his; wife's name without her knowledge. A while later, when the red tape in Washington had unwound a few reéls more, a letter came to Mrs. ' Gormanexplaining the mistake and |asking that the second $30 eb re-- 'funded,. She replied that: she had |received no such check. That was where the United tSates Secret Serv-- ice in' St. Paul got into the thin'g'. In < the meantime, ditorced, Gor-- man had gone to Billings, Mont., and married. again. When the federal service finally got its thumb on him he was the star~ @alesman for the agency of a high--priced automobile in Los Angeles. He was arrested after a fight, and immediately turned Los Angeles upside down in a tempest lot patriotism over the wounded setrv-- ice man with the silver plate in his {heud. who had been perescuted. \ Inquired About Record * The ~American-- Legion out there wanted the operative who made the Arrest removed fro mhis jJob.
