Admits Forging Check.
Young Richardson, who is in knee trou
sers, has confessed that he forged the
J name of Mr. M< Gahee. He attempted to
I pass the check on the Farmers and
; Traders bank, in Peters street, but the
! cashier, suspecting crookedness, detained
him and sent for an officer. The amount
of the check was sl9.
Tiie alleged operations of the two boys
had no connection, whatever. Boatfield
is accused of forging the names of Mr.
Howell and Mr. Grinnell to checks lor S3O
each, which were tendered to two down
town department stores. Boatfield de
inies the forgeries, and protests that the
(•hecks were given him by another man
| with instructions to present them at the
respective stores.
The sanw. game was worked on 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 his account and
that the remainder of the S3O cheek 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
presented was indorsed 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,
and, as the credit man already was on
his guard, the game was nipped. Boatfield
Hieing taken into custody. He insisted at
I tiie time that he was merely acting as a
messenger, and went with the credit man
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.
Detectives give his story some credence,
however, and are, making every possible
effort to find '‘the man.’’

Dudley Glass.
The announcement was made today
of the appointment of Dudley Glass as
special state agent for the Columbian
National Life Insurance Company cf
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 large.
Mr. Glass has been associated with
The Georgian in various editorial ca
pacities for the last Sevan 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 tlgures in the Innumerable happen
ings of Atlanta that his pen has infused
with tletion-like pow’er to thrill, to
learn that lie will not entirely discon
tinue his newspaper writings. Mr.
Glass from time to time will write for
The Georgian.
SAM LOEB ISI
SENE SENTENCE
First Convicted Violator of
Liquor Law Loses His Long
Legal Battle.
Samuel Loeb, of Atlanta, “the original
violator of the state prohibition law,” fined
*I,OOO, with an alternative of twelve
ninths on the road gang, after fighting
ills case unsuccessfully all tiie way to
tl • supreme court of the United\States,
ha - b'f turned down finally in his last
injt t « evade sentence, by the prison
comnussion’s refusal to recommend clem
ency to the governor.
Loeb’s h gal battle to avoid both the
fine and the gang sentence has been ex
pensive. He was the first man con
vioted under the law enacted in 1907,
and he lias been fighting since.
He went before the prison commission,
a last resort, and told it lie 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
< crtainly did hurt his feelings mightily
to think of going to the rdkd gang and
wearing stripes.
Thefefore, wouldn’t the commission ent
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 fine not even to $999.99. It was the
f ull 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 pay up, ui
don the stripes.

Henry H. Pittman, the two-year-old
son of M. H. Pittman, died this morn
