A Young Lady Forger.

From the Reading, Pa, Gazette.
On Tuesday of last week young lady
entered Bushong's bank, and stepped up
to the window of the paying teller She
was the daughter of a respectable citizen,
about twenty-five years of age, quite pre-
possessing in appearance, of affable man.
ners and very well educated. She pre-
sented check purporting to be signed by
her father, who is and has been regular
depostor in the bank for quite number
OF years. With the check she passed in
the handbook. The paying teller, Mr..
Harner, eyed the check, then the young
lady, and considering that so large an
amount OF money was to be drawn by
young lady when her father might Just as
well have come to the bank himself, in
asmuch that he was seen on Penn street
almost every day, he became somewhat
suspicious, and requested the attention
of Mr.. Bushong. He came from his
private office, and on recognizing the
young lady as the daughter of the person
in whose name the check was drawn,
directed the money to be paid. This was
done, and out came every cent of the old
gentleman's bank balance with the excep-
ton of some sixty dollars. The Young
lady took the money, went up to the desk
very cooly, rolled the bills up very care
fully, placed them in her portemonnaie,
and very innocently stepped out of the
bank.
On leaving home in the morning she
had told her parents that she expected to
spend the day with friend down town,
and they consented, knowing that she
would meet young gentleman who had
bpnp n HOY off Tbic
was handsome Young foreigner, a COM
parative stranger, good looking, genteelly
dressed, and not over twenty-four years
of age. Tuesday night came and passed,
and on Wednesday the father discovered
Searching thoroughly, it was not to be
touad. He Immediately went to Bushong's
bank and made his loss known. why"
said an attache of the bank, your book
is not lost; your daughter brought it
iher yesterday when she drew out that
money" "Drew out what money ?''-
asked the father in utter astonish-
ment. And then We're told the facts
of the daughters banking transaction.
The amazement of the parent upon hear
ing such startling intelligence can be
imagined. The father then told the story
OF the strange foreign gentleman who had
been paying attentions to his daughter,
and vague suspicious Of forgery and elope-
ment rose in the old mans mind. The
young lady's friend was visited, but she
knew nothing of the missing daughter,
and had not seen her for several days.
Then the fact became plain; the daughter
had committed forgery and eloped.
The check was shown, and was found
to have been drawn up in the lady's hand
writing, and the signature, which was
very nicely and accurately initiated, is
supposed TO have been written by her
lover. The daughter had never been to
the bank before. Who her lover is is not
known. He arrived in This city short
time ago, formed the acquaintance through
filtration, it is thought, and so managed
affairs as to induce her to participate in
the direct robbery of her fathers dollars
1t is supposed that the pair left Reading
for New York on the afternoon train.
