Forged Check at the Flrht National
IfAnK.

Forged Check at the Flrst National
Bank.
James Quinn, aged l6, forged check
on the FIRST Nationsl Bank, using the
name Of William Davidson and attempted
to get it passed Thursday morning. Quinn
obtained blank check on the First
National and filled it in payable to James
A. Clarke or bearer for Sl5, and signed
the name of William Davidson.
At 1915 Thursday morning he stood at
Fcuylh and King streets, where he found
boy of his acquaintance named Fred
Melehoir, aged IA, Handing the check
to the boy he directed him to get the
money at the bnnk and he Quinn would
wait OF tine corner for him. Melchior
went to the bank and presented the
check. Paying Teller ?. Il. E. Smith i'm
niediately recognized something out Of
order. No attempt had been made to
initiate MIR. Davidaon's signature. All
the writing was done in bold, clear
hand The boy was detained for .
moment while one OK tho bank officials
went around to the police STATION.
Ofliaer Chairs accompanied the banker
to the ofiies where the boy was interro-
gated. 1t was quickly discovered that he
was nothing but a messenger for Quinn.
He was ignorant OF everything but the
fact Of being sent end TINT Quinn waI
waiting for him at the corner Of Fourth
end King. Proceeding thore the officers
found his man, arrested him and he is nov
under lock and key. Melchoir ia nlso
detained as witness.
Qainn is an innocent, quiet looking
young fellow. He is 16 years Of age and
has been in Mr.. Davidson's employ. BE
lives at the corner of Spring street and
French. Both he aud Melohoir were in
tears Thursday morning as they were seer
standing behind the bars. Quinn do s
not know what on earth possessed him
to commit the foolish act. MIR. Davidsor
and the bank officials are unwilling &c
prosecute, as they all consider Quinn tc
