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.” 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.

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. Henry H. Pittman. Henry H.
