YEGG TELLS OF SLEUTH'S VISIT. DEFOItl) SAYS "PORTER" CAME TO SEE HIM TWICE. Rumor that Safe-blower who Figured in Augusta Testimony was not in Penitentiary Proves to be Unfounded?Captain of Prison Guard A??.IIICIII i/CI a 1/CICV UTC B T IB1IB IU Prisoner?Deford Wont Talk About What Passed Between Him and the Supposed Chicago Lawyer. It being reported, with apparent positiveness, in Charleston yesterday that Gus Deford, the yeggman, who figured in the testimony given on Saturday before the dispensary investigating committee in Augusta, was not now and had never been in the State Penitentiary, The News and Courier telegraphed its Columbia correspondent for definite advices as to the matter. It will be recalled that, according to the testimony of Detective Reed, Deford was the man to secure whose pardon Reed .masquerading as a Chicago lawyer, under the name of "Henry N. Porter," alleged that he had a conference at Washington with Sam J. Nichols, of Spartanburg. The following story from The News and Courier's correspondent in response to fVlo tolairram iiinni.if 11'" i ?..w vv>v^> uui vi iinjuii j ?ao ltvcivcu last night: Yegg Shows Surprise. Columbia, July 14.?Interviewed in the Penitentiary here today, Gus Deford, the notorious yeggman, admitted that "Porter" had called to see hini and had agreed to act as his attorney. Deford served a five-year sentence in the Federal prison and was then sent to the State Penitentiary for ten years for blowing open the safe of the Enoree Manufacturing Company in Spartanburg in 1902. That this yeggman served a term in the Federal penitentiary was testified to at Augusta by Col. Felder and Detective Reed. Deford admitted that Henry N. Porter a Chicago lawyer, had been to see hini twice. Deford was extremely reticent. He was asked about the nature of U_ T"> v-uii y .tutiuii nc; nau wmi 4U1. r uriei . "We said nothing that makes any difference one way or the other," answered Deford, with an expressive shrug of his stooped shoulders. Only once did the yegg lose his impassive air. That was when he was told that Mr. Porter, the lawyer from Chicago who had visited him was one of the detectives on William J. Burns's force. When he heard this Deford shot a quick glance with his yellowish eyes at the speaker and his lijis twitched convulsively, which the lines in his face visibly deepened. Then the yeggman became stolid, again. W .H. Sondley, captain of the guard at the Penitentiary, was present during the jnterview with Deford. ?b> told The prisoner ,as was beconifri$, I that he was talking to a newspaper man and was under no compulsion to answer the questions which might be asked him. Deford denied that he knew anything about Lyon & Lyon, a firm of attorneys in Dubuque, la. He also said that Mr. Porter, of Chi cago, had come to see him twice, the first time about three weeks and the second time about a week ago, but this was almost the sum total of the information the yeggman would give. "We said nothing that makes any difference one way or the other," wsts his answer, when asked what Mr. Porter talked to him about. Recalls Porter's Visit. ('apt. Sondley remembers Mr. Porter as a heavy set man with a closely cropped reddish musttache, who brought him a letter of introduction from Sam J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, and had received permission to sec l?eford on the strength of this letter. The myth which Henry N. Poller, of Chicago, Ilurns's detective, circulated in Spartanburg was also told whom is a question. ' Anyhow, the story that Deford was the heir to a portion of a large estate gained currency at the Penitentiary. The newspaper representative heard it there. S .1 \irhalu in PAliimKin Sam J.

Porter, one of Burns' detectives, Udguiled Sam J. Nicholls of Spartanburg into believing was the heir to a large fortune which he eniild nnt inlii.rlr unless he were pardoned. DePnrd was only one of James Johnson's numerous aliases. He admitted last Sunday to a representative of The Sta'ttt That Henry N. Porter, the ( hicago lawyer ,had visited him twice, hut was reticent about the nature of their conversations. Tfaft. Gus DeForde who escaped from tbe secret service men near Floreiiee a few years ago is possibly the most notorious cracksman and "knight of the jimmy" in the world. He was captured by Uncle Sam after a long chase only to escape l>y leapirtg from a swiftly moving tram near Florence. DeForde has never been apprehended, although the secret service men have not given up the search for him. DeForde has four small moles on his right cheek, a hooked nose and prominent jawbones. James Johnson, alias Gas Deford, the convict whom Burns used for establishing his dictagraph evidence against Sam Nicholls, was sent to the penitentiary from Spartanburg in August, 1911, for cracKing the safe of the Enoree, Manufacturing company. He was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment. Johnson, alias DeFord, is a man of medium height with brown hair, yellowish eyes, and a bullet shaped head. Judging from his demeanor when told that Henry N. Porter, the Chicago lawyer, who visited him with a promise of getting a pardon, was one of William^ J. Burns' detectives, John son or ueb'ord really believed the yarn as did the attorney associated with Porter.?The State. N. J.
