here last Wednesday for forging drafts on
the Herring Safe Company, of New
York, and fraudulently obtaining 500
from the First National Bank of Florida,
was brought before Justice Belisario
Saturday afternoon for a preliminary
hearing. He was required to furnish
800 bail for his appearance at the Cir

his attorney, and others, worked hard to
obtain bail, but up to II p. m. Saturday

coming to-day, this however, did not
seem to better the chances of success
any. Col. John T. Walker was the at
torney for the bank.
