C. E. MOBLY IS
UP FOR FORGING
Says John Chauncey, Barrow’s Nim
ble-Fingered Crook, Is Responsi
ble/for His Predicament.
Clarence E. Mobley, who lives on
the plantation of Arch Perry, a few
miles out from Winder, was- arrested
late Saturday afternoon on a forgery
charge brought by D. L. Hale, of,
Statham. i
A little after ten o’clock Saturday
morning, the Statham Bank received
a draft on D. Ml. & O. IL. Hale in fa
vor of a Jacksonville liquor house for
$ll.OO.
Mr. Fite, president of the bank,
knowing the reputation of Hale
brothers for sobriety, smelled a
mouse, so to speak, and made haste
to acquaint Mr. I). L. Hale of the
fact. Mr. Hale at once began an In
vestigation.
A search revealed the fact that no
shipment to Hale had reached Stat
ham, so he wired the Jacksonville
firm for particulars. In less than
thirty minutes a reply contained the
intelligence that the shipment had
been sent ,to Winder to C. E. Mob
ley.
Sheriff Camp was notified, but
found the whiskey had been delivered
and Mobley had left town. The sher
iff went in pursuit and captured Mob
ley and his boose.
Last week Mobley was released
from the federal prison in Athens.
As he emerged, so lie claims, he
brought with him the forged draft
and order, and says that John Chaun
cey, whose fraudulent schemes extend
over several states, asked him to
| mail the letter and he would receive
! U quarts of booze as a present fr-oin
! him.
