AN ENTERPRIsING F0RGER.

A Sharper Swindles Paterson Bank
and Is Convicted in Morristown.
On the 9th Of October inst. o stranger entered
the store OF Mr. Charles Sandford, q grocer on Main
street, In Paterson, asking him for his check on
the First National Bank for s21, giving him the
money for the check, which was made payable to-
the order OF one Frankneld, OF Trenton. Mr. Sand
ford, OF course, accommodated the man by grant
ing such trivial request. The next day the man
want to use 1t after all, and was refunded
the $21. few days afterwards Mr.. Sand
ford received notice from Mr.. Bell, the
cashier OF the First National Bank stating that his
account was overdrawn. This greatly astonished
Mr. SANFORD, as according to his account he still
to investigate the matter and soon found check
for $500, with his name attached, drawn to the
order OF "E. Austin Il Co." and endorsed by
"Charles Austin" Mr.. SandfOrd at once denied
having ever drawn such check, and pronounced
IL forgery. Indeed, by comparing the signature
counterfeit 1t at once struck Mr.. Sanford that
the man who had the $2l check over night was.
the person who had committed the forgery,
the small check being wanted only to get copy
OF the signature 1t also happened that Mr.. sand
lord had somewhere read OF the arrest of q man
for dong precisely the same thing in M0rrstown.
On Saturday Mr.. Sandford, together with Con-
bank attaches, went to Morristown, and there
found the forger trial for the same offence COM
mitted there He was fully identified by Mr.. Sand
ford as the man for whom he had cashed the $21
check, and by Mr.. Ridgeway as the one who had
presented at the bank the $3.50 check. He was
be sentenced yesterday. The Paterson bank, Of
