clinical school in Detroit as a department
of the University of Michigan, which has

There has been brought to public no.
tice at Detroit l6-year- forger, whose
career is almost without parallel. She
is the daughter of Joseph Martin, a re-
spectacle builder, and is known as Ismi
Martin and as Miss Bagg, the latter name
being assumed for purposes of deceit.
Her first move was to secure desk room
ing firm. Once established there she be-
gan systematically to extend her acquaint-
ance as an apparently trusted employee of
the firm. One evening she dropped into
an office adjoining where she worked, said
she had a small check which her employ
ers could not cash, as they had made their
deposit for the day. The check, she ex-
planned, was for money belonging to her.
SELF her mother, and her brother, and re-
quired the Endorsement of all three. If
they would cash the check she would have
it Endorsed in the morning. The check
was cashed. Next morning the girl
called again on her accommodating
friend and said her mother was
at the advertising agents, next
door, and would indorse the check there
if it could be had for moment. The
check was given up, and that was the last
seen of it or Ismi Martin by her friend.
This same movement was repeated in sew
eral offices. Her most remarkable ex-
plot, however, was an attempt to collect
$3.50 of a New York correspondent of the
firm. A telegram was received at the
Office saying that certain dispatch to the
correspondent had not been delivered, as
he was out of town. No telegram had
been sent him by member of the firm
and an investigation was made. This re-
suited in showing that the girl had sent
the following telegram to the firms New
York correspondent: IF we do not re-
ceive your draft by 3 o'clock we will fore
close" For these and many other like
attempts to get money the girl had but
one excuse-that she had told her mother
she was at work, getting So week-and,
! therefore, she felt obliged to obtain at
least that amount of money in that way
each week
