ARREST OF A LAWYER.
4 Forged Check Put to His Credit the
Cause of the Trouble.

About the 1st day OF June Mr.. John
Hunter, Jr., i'm settling his account with the
State Bank, discovered that among the
checks purp0rting TO bear his signature
was one for S9s.G2 This be pronounced a
forgery, and it was traced back 10 the City
Bank, where it was learned 1t had been
placed to the credit of Mr.. W. Russell
Bowie. Mr.. Bowie was sought for an ex-
planation, but was found to be out OF the
city.
Some four or five days ego these circum-
stances were related to Chief-of-Police Poe
by one of the state Bank officers. Subse-
qucnly Major Poe asked that the check be
placed in his hands, bat the bank officers
requested him TO wait until they could
consult their counsel.
Mr. Bowie and his wife returned yester-
day from New York, where they had been
about three weeks, and in the afternoon he
went 10 Major Poe's Office and said he IN
derstOOd there was some trouble about q
check. The Chief replied there was. and
then told Mr.. Bowie all he knew of the
matter. Thereupon Mr.. Bowie admitted
depositing the check. After some little
further conversation Major Poe told his
visitor that he would have 10 perform the
very UNPLEASANT duty Of OBTAINING him.
Mr.. Bowie asked 10 be allowed to 90 to his
Office which request was granted him. He
went out alone and in few minutes re-
turned and accompanied Major Poe to the
Second statiOn-house, where the latter
swore out a warrant before Justice Iyler
against Mr.. Bowie.
Justice Crutchticld was then sent for,
and after making some inquiry into the
matter. allowed bail in the sum of $1,000,
and Messrs. ". $. Gunn and Joseph Is.
Davis became the boudsmen.
The case viii he before the Police Court
this morning. when the check. which Is
now i'm the State Bank, Will be produced rs
testimony.
Mr.. Bowie. it is not doubted. has an ex-
planation of how the forged check came
into his possession.
Justice Crutchficld had n conversation
with Mr.. Hunter before granting bail.
The check in question bore date Of May
18th. and was deposited TO Alr. Bowie's
credit May goth.
Mr.. Bowie by birth and marriage belongs
10 a circle Of people of irreproachable cha
racter. Is thirty-four years of age, lawyer
by profession. and has served as a member
of the City Council and captain of mill
tarS company. and for year past has been
engaged IN the real estate business. He
has ever borne an unsullied name, and
hence il Is with confidence his friends
await his account of how the forged check

work on the Belt Line under Carmlne
Gaudiosi, who is q sub-contnctOr under

for the work his force had done up 10 that

Wednesday. lie paid his men almost all
that was due them up 20 tho first OF the
month. II is thought, though, that he has
gone 10 Philadelphia, but whether 10 re-
turn or not Is unknown.
The sudden disappearance Of Gaudlosl
created good deal Of excitement among
his unpaid hands, and they have sworn out
a warrant for his arrest.
An Italian named Cancaci was arrested
Yesterday, supposed to be an accOmplice Of
Gaudio-i. He is charged with the embez-
element of SO
At the Second police station the man was
searched, but nothing was found upon
his person except q revolver, and the
charge of carrying concealed weapons was
also preferred against him.
Harman d Co. have notified GaudlosTs

work is proceeded with they will revoke
the contract
These Italians we're doing only one piece
Of the work; many other forces are en-
