Admits Forging Check.
Youtig Richardson, who is in knee trou
|s. rs, has confessed tjiat he forged the
jname of Mr. McGahee. He attempted to
I pass the check on the Farmers and
| Traders bank, in Peters street, but the
: '-ashler. suspecting crookedness, detained
i him and sent for an officer. The amount
I of the check was sl9.
The alleged operations of the two boys
iiad no' connection, whatever. Boatfield
is accused of forging the name* of Mr.
Howell and Mr. Grinnell to checks for S3O
each, which were tendered to two down
town department stores. Boatfield de
nies the forgeries, and protests that the
checks were given him ixv another man
with instructions to presriit. them at tHe
resjiective stores.
The same game was worked <>n both
establishments. The youth Is said to have
presented a note, in the first instance
signed by Mr. Grinnell, asking that sls
be placed to his credit on bis account and
that the remainder «»f the S3O check be
returned to him in change.
Boatfield Boy Trapped.
Following this the swindle was detected,
and other downtown stores were warned
to be on the lookout. The next check
presente*! was Indorses! with the name of
Mr. Howell. It was accompanied by a
note similar to the first.
It chanced, however, that Mr. Howel!
had no account in this particular store,
ami. as the credit man already was on
his guard, the game was nipped, Boatfield
being taken into custody, lie insisted at
the time that he was merely acting aa a
messenger, and went with the credit man
to \X hitehall 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.
1 detectives give his story some credence,
however, and are making every possible
effort to find “the man.”

Dudley Glass.
The announcement was marie today
of the appointment of Dudley Glass as
special state agent 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 C. Newell, general agent, of the
Columbian National, and will have
charge of the personal accident and
health department in the state at larg .
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 his Ole Man Blivins or Uncle Hi
stories, or followed with tightening
throats any of the thousand and one
real tiguies in the innumerable happen
ings of Atlanta that his pen has infused
with liction-like power to thrill, to
learn that he will not entirely discon
tinue his newspaper writings. Mr.
Glass from time to time will write for
The Georgian.

SERVE SENTENCE
First Convicted Violator of
Liquor Law Loses His Long
Legal Battle.
Samuel Loeb, »>f Atlanta, “the original
; violator of the state prohibition law," fined
SI,OOO, with an alternative of twelve
• months on the road gang, after fighting
j his case unsuccessfully all the way to
t!i«- supreme court of the United States,
has been turned down finally in his last
attempt to evade sentence, by the prison
commission’s refusal to recommend clem
ency to the governor.
legal battle to avoid both the
Lne and tLo gang sentence has been ex
pensive. lie was the first man con
victed under the law enacted in 1907,
and he has been fighting since.
He went before the prison commission,
i os a last resort, and told it he was un
> able to pay a tine of SI,OOO, and that he
I could not, therefore, avail himself of the
! alternative to a gang sentence—and it
certainly did hurt his feelings mightilj
to think of going to the road gang and
wearing stripes.
Therefore, wouldn’t the commission cut
down 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 tine-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. Ho must pay up, oi
don the stripes.
