TWO YOUNGBDTS
HELDASFOHGERS
Lad in Knee Pants Confesses
Signing Name of Merchant
to Check for sl9.
used of forging the of three ■
•prominent Atlantans in two check svvin-
I dies, two youths, Edward Boatfleld, sev
enteen years old, 131 Buckie street, and
i Atticus Richardson, sixteen years old, 232
' West Kiir street, today ar<- in a Tower
' cell.
The two boys were bound over by Ke
carder Broyles, Boatfield being held in
$5,000 bond in two eases of forgery and
one case of cheating and swindling, while
Richardson's bond was fixed at SI,OOO in
one case of forgery.
The checks which placed the boys be
hind the bars bear the forget! names of .
Colonel Albert Howell, Jr., M. M. Grin
nell, an insuran- < man, and T. F. McGa- I
hee, a Peters street merchant.
Admits Forging Check.
Young Richardson, who is in knee trou
sers, has confessed that he forged the
name of Mr. McGahee. He attempted to
pass the check on the Farmers and
Traders bank, in Peters street, but the
cashier, suspecting crookedness, detained *
Jilin and sent for an officer The amount <
of the check was sl9.
The alleged operations of the two boys ]
had no connection, whatever. Boat field
is accused of forging the names of Mr.
Howell and Mr. Grinnell to checks for S3O «
each, which were tendered to two down- i
town department stores. Boatfleld de
nies the forgeries, and protests that the '
checks were given him by another man .
with instructions to present them at the ,
respective stores.
Tiie same game was worked on both <
establishments. The youth is said to have i
presented a note, in the first instance
signed by Mr. Grinnell, asking that sls
be placed to his credit on his account and r
that the remainder of the S3O check be
returned to him In change.
Boatfield Boy Trapped. i
Following this the swindle was detected, i
ami other downtown stores were warned i
to be on the lookout. The next check ,
presented was indorsed with the name of
Mr. Howell. It was accompanied by a 1
note similar to the first. <
It chanced, however, that Mr. Howell
had no account In this particular store, j
and, as the credit man already was on ,
his guard, the game was nipped, Boatfield ‘
being taken into custody. He insisted at !
the time that he was merely acting as a 1
messenger, and went with the credit man i
to Whitehall and Alabama streets to |
point out the man he said gave him the
note. He failed to find him and was
locked in the police station.
I’etectlves give his story some credence, 1
however, and are making every possible (
effort to find “the man.”

Dudley Glass.
The announcement was made todaj
of the appointment of Dudlej- Glass as
special state for the Columbian
National Life Insurance Company of
Boston.
This appointment will go into effect
January 1 and means that Mr. Glass
will leave the newspaper business at
that time. He will be associated with
Alfred Newell, general agent of the
Columbian National, and will have
charge of the personal accident and
health department in the state at large.
Mr. Glass has been associated with
The Georgian in various editorial ca
pacities for the last seven years and is
generally regarded as one of the ablest
newspapermen in the South. As a
writer of whimsically humorous and
what are known in newspaper jargon
as "human interest” stories, he has few
equals in this section of the country.
It will be good news to thousands of
newspaper readers who have chuckled
at Ms Ole Man Blivins or Uncle Hi
stories, or followed with tightening
throats any of the thousand and one
real figures in the innumerable happen
ings of Atlanta that his pen lias infused
with fiction-like power to thrill, to
learn that he will not entirety discon
tinue ids newspaper writings. Mr.
Glass from time to time will write for
The Georgian.
SAM LOEB MUST
SEKEJTEK
First Convicted Violator of
Liquor Law Loses His Long
Legal Battle.
Samuel l.oeb, of Atlanta, "the original
’■ olatur <>f the state prohibition law." fined
SI,OOO, with an alternative of twelve
months on the road gang, after fighting
ills < ase m.sueeessfullj- all the way to
the supreme court of the United States,
has been turned down linally in bls last
attempt to evade sentence, by the prison
commission's refusal to recommend clem
encj- to the governor.
Loeb's legal battle to avoid both the
me and the gang sentence has been ex
pensive. He was the first man con
vic-ted under the law enacted in 1907,
and ho 1 .us been fighting since.
He went before the prison commission,
as a last resort, and told it he was un
able to pay a fine of SI,OOO. and that he
could not, therefore, avail himself of the
alternative to a gang sentence —and it
certainty did hurt his feelings mightilj
to think of going to the road gang and
wearing stripes.
'I hefefore, wouldn’t the commission cut
'"‘"n tHat fine to something like —well,
say, $4.13? Loeb thought he could rake
and scrape together that much.
No, the commission would not reduce
that fine—not even to $999.99. It was the
full SI,OOO from Loeb, or the gang.
Loeb feels that he has been pretty bad
ly "rough housed” by the commission, but
there is no escape. He must paj r up. o:
don the stripes.
