William B, Crump, he moved to the

romantic and picturesque spot, that

a hospitality of the old Virginia type,
that carried genuine cheer and homeIy
comfort to every friend or stranger
who crossed the Threshold of their
happy home and gave Il fame to the
family in distant lands.
In 1923 he joined the Primitive
Baptis Church, and continued pioHs

OYER AND TERMINER.
Before Judge Brady.

AN ALLEGED BOND FORGER BROUGHT TO TRIAL.
In November last Warren n. Horrick sold to Messrs
Bates Bostwick. brokers' at No. 80 Wall street, i've
one thousand dollar bonds OF The Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railroad Company Ho was paid ninety ight
per cent on the bonds and tho amount less the
missions OF the brokers and his own charge OF $25
was paid to Mr. Swansborough. Shortly attcrward II
discovered that the bonds iorgeries, and
thereupon both Herrick and Swansborough were ar
rested and jointly indicted upon charge OF forgery
and utrering these bonds. Herrick was placed on
trial yesterday before Judge Brady in tho Court OF
Oyer aud Terminer. Messrs John j. Logan aud l. l.
Post appeared Tor the prisoners, ana Assistant
District Attorney Russell TOR the prosecution.
From the opening statement Of Mr.. Russell IL
would appear that the p isoner called upon the rm Of
Bates Bostwick who had known him formerly as a
toeraby weto-do and reputable man, and offered
them the bonds ia question .or sale on behalf OF
friend, who, he SAID, was retired merchant named
Swansboroueh, and thoroughly responsible. The
brokers had known Swansborough as wealthy and q
of fair repute but the prosecution hold that Her.
rick knew he had broken down in business ana
not responsible person. The brokers sent the bonds
to tho railway company, who, on cursory examiIa-
tion pronounced them genuine. and some days after
the brokers sold them a member oil tho Stock Ex-
change and paid Herrick 81, 500. The purchaser nap
pened to be gentleman who had been chairman OF q
committee to investigate and prosecute certain forger
les Oh the street, and he soon detected something which
led him to suspect forgery, and on moro careful
examination the railroad officer confirmed his sus
picions, and there could be no doubt OF their being
spurious Mr. Russell said he probably would not ask
for verdict Tor forgery but only tor uterng, as The
usual plan would DO TO have some other man behind
the uttercr; sometimes the uttercr did not know who
tho forger. But he called their attention to two
suspicious circumstances Tho prisoner was Identified
by the railroad officer the person who called some
days previously at the Office and inquired If certain
