An interesting case is now being investigated
by the police department, in which two persons
are under arrest on charges of having forged
the same checks. James p Freeman, the pres
emit manager Of the Washington Electric Com
pany, was arrested by Detective Mahon some
days ago and the teller at the bank. Mr.. Kindle-
berger, identified him the man who pre-
sented one Of the alleged forged checks, the
amount in that particular case being $3.50. 80.
Another check for 1920 was also cashed but
no one has identified the man who received
the money.
When Freeman was arrested his counsel Mr..
A. b. Williams, was earnest in his claim that il
was a case of mistaken identity and Detective
Raft soon started out to investigate the case.
One of Pinkertou's men was subsequently,
brought into service.
Freeman until recently was manager of the
instantaneous Fire Alarm Company and was
succeeded by Ryland P. Cross. Then he ac-
cepted the position of manager Of the Electric
Company.
The checks in question bore the forged sig
natures of H. d. Walbridge Treasurer of the
instantaneous Fire Alarm Company, and were
made payable to the Electric Company or order
and were Endorsed by J. p. Freeman, as man
ager Of the Electric Company.
Detective Raft concluded to arrest Cross on
the charge OF having forged the checks, and
Friday he was located at Manassas Va. With
the Pinkerton officer Mr.. Raft went to Manassas
and arrested Cross. The accused was
taken by the town sergeant to the
Office Of the lawyer instead OF to the lookup
or to the mayors Office, and after consulting
counsel he was taken before the mayor and
after considerable talk about legal points the
prisoner WAS turned over to the officers and
brought here.
Detective Mahon has the checks and Detec-
tive Raft has photographs of them. Each
claims that he has good case. and the Police
Court will be called upon to decide the matter
next Friday.
