About year ago IL came TO light that Edward
Crowl, son OF Mrs. Harriet Crowl, the wealthy
widow OF prominent lumber dealer, OF Cleve-

veloped that Mrs. Crowl's bank account had

tuted by the Union National bank for 81, 700,

was Q forgery OF her signature The jury be-
iieVed her, and returned q verdict in her favor
