An Altered Check-From S34'6O mp to
S3d65'60 by n stroke of the Pen-A Rival of
J. Buchanan Cross.
On Saturday about noon, a gentlemanly indi-
vidual who is evidently artist in the particular
line of fnanciering that comes under the head of
forgery, came into the office of Sterling tS Wild
man, brokers, No. 110 South Third street, and
inquired the price of gold. He said he wished
to buy about $4,000, but that he had not the
money with him, and woald be back in about
half an hour either with the cash or check
such as would be acceptable to the brokers' In
about twenty minutes he returned and presented
q check on the Penn National Bank for $3465 60
drawn to the order of Sterling q Wildman by
Bullock q Crenshaw. The check had every ap-
pearance of genuineness, but as the individual
was unknown there was some hesitation at ac-
cepting it, and he said he would wait until one
of the young men in the Office could go to the
bank and get it cashed. To make assurances
doubly sure, the young man took the check to
Messers. Bullock q Crenshaw, and asked if it
was drawn by them. On examining the check
book it was found that on Saturday q check had
been drawn for the sum of $500 to
the order of w. T. Ellis, and on examin-
ing the check presented, it was Disco
yered that some of the original writing
had been erased by acid, and the face of the
paper altered. 1t was then remembered that
on Saturday an individual answering to the de-
scription of the gold purchaser had bought q
bill of goods, for which he presented q note
of large amount and said that he would take a
check for the change. While the young man
was gone on his errand, the forger became
alarmed at his prolonged absence, and stepped
out, saying that he would return in few
minutes. He has not been heard of since. The
alteration of the check is considered by experts
as one of the most skilful that was ever seen OF
Third street.
