HOWE-S THIS!
A Sewing Machine Agent Charged
... ",' with Forgery.

Win Forgery
Yesterday evening there arrived in
this city, in charge Of Constable Wash.
Blair, OF Squire Harmeyer's office, OIL
Ninth street. an agent Of the Howe Sew
ing Machine Company at Grayson, Car.
ter County, KY, named Augustus S.
Hall, who is accused OF forgery to the
extent OF $4,000, in sums ranging from
$50 to $120.
1t is claimed by the Company that
Halps method OF operating was TO sell,
either himself or through sub-ugents,
sewing machines on short time, taking
promissory notes OF the purchasers in
payment. These notes he sold, appro-
priatiDg the proceeds to his own use,
and sent duplicate notes with forged
signatures 10 the agent OF the company
in this city. After ascertainIng this
fact, the agent quietly obtained requi-
sition for Hall, and last Friday Con-
stable G. W. Blair, OF this city, went to
Grayson armed with warrant and
reausition for HalPs arrest and removal
to Cincinnati tor trial.
The Company were first led to suspect
Hal by ascertaining that his bonds,
given to the Company to secure returns
from the machines.placed In his hands
for sale, were forgeries. The signatures
to three bonds Tor So, 900 each, which had
been renewed from time to time, pur.
porting to be those OF Messrs. Twltchell
and Wentworth Of Grayson, were found
to be lorgeries; and recent develop
ments have shown that the other forger
les were II aceable to Hall.
Iu de ault OF $4,000 bail the prisoner
was sent 10 Jail TO await an investiga
tion, which has been set for next Satur
day before Squire Harmeyer.
