RENSSELAER MEN CHARGED IN CHICAGO

Alleged Confidence Game Causes Requisition for John A. Dunlap and V. J. Crisler. Special to The Republican. Springfield, 111., Nov. 2, 1915.—Governor Dunne today issued requisition on Governor of' Indiana for return of John Dunlap and V. J. Crisler, who are under arrest in Rensselaer and who are wanted in Chicago on charge of obtaining SSOO from Carrie C. Gensert on July fourth, 1914, by means of confidence game. After receiving the above telegram The Republican called for Mr. Dunlap at his office but was informed that he was in Kentland. Later, however, Mr. Dunlap returned home and a brief interview with him was held over the telephone and he stated that he knew nothing about the alleged charges or on what they were based. It is not a fact that either he or Mr. Crisler have been placed under arrest. Mr. Crisler is now in Montana, where in company with W. J. Wright and Sam Pullins he is spending two or three weeks hunting. Messrs. Dunlap and Crisler dissolved their partnership several months ago and since that time Mr. Dunlap has been devoting his entire attention to his large Jegal practice and Mr. Crisler has been associated with men at Fort Myers, Fla., in the sale of land in that state. It is understood that Mrs. Gensert lives in Chicago and that the alleged confidence game involved the sale of some Jasper county land. The Republican has confidence iD the gentlemen for whom the requisition has been issued and expects that when the evidence in the case is heard that the basis of the charges will be very flimsy.
