"A NEW sWINDLING SCHEME.

between twenty Eve and thirty years ole, well
dressed and OF good appearance, has been
working forgery trick very successfully
throughout the State during the past few
weeks.

present of some kind or other for sister
whom he casually mentions and pays any
where from So to $40 for It, He then says
he wishes to send her some money, but in a
manner In which her husband cannot get
hold of it, and SO enlists the merchants at
tention The Hpshot of it is that he asks
the merchant to make out check for the |
requisite amount, which he pays for,
taking the check made out to the sister in
the merchants name and leaves the store. |
He then has what he wants; the name of the
merchant, his bank deposit the number of
his check, his handwriting, and, what is
more, his signature. II is subsequently easy
to procure blank, which he fills out, and by
tracing the name of the merchant has
check. the signature of which it would be !.
hard to detect as forgery.
Choosing time when business is brisk at
the bank he presents the check, and SO far
has not been detected, and the sums, rang.
ng from 500 to $500, have not been large
enough to create suspicion, and he is so
much ahead.
