CLEVELAND. O.-Young Edward
Crowl, who was arrested in New
burg, N. Y, few days ago on the
charge of forgery, was arraigned in
Justice Ryan's court this afternoon.
1t will be remembered that he
forged his mothers name to notes
aggregating nearly $4,000, besides
appropriatlng to his own use $50,-
600 which she had entrusted to
him to deposit in bank, and also
squandered about 100000 in ad-
dltion, belonging to his fathers es-
tate, leaving Mrs. Crowl nearly
penniless. Most of this money
went in speculation, though many
thousands were lost at the gaming
table and on the race track.
Mrs. Crowl testified to the forger-
les in tremulous tones, and the
young criminal sat unmoved while
his devoted mother told the sad
story tina. will send her reckless
and profigate son to the Peniten-
tiary.
