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.” fire and Burglar Season Is Here At such a time, your valuable papers and jewelry are in DOUBLE danger if kept loose in the house.

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. Henry H. Pittman. Henrj' H.
