Yesterday morning Chief of Police
Remine received letter from mer-
chant in Ashevillc, N. c., describinga a
young man who was wanted for forgery
and intimating that he might appear
in these parts
The name of the forger, as stated in
the letter, was Robert l.. Mears, and
his father was the author OF the letter.
The big chief set to work to find the
forger, and within o short time he had
spotted his mana well-dressed, hand
some, dapper young fellow of twenty
years.
THE ARREST.
The officer advanced upon the young
man, politely stated the case and took
him a prisoner 1t did not take long
to wiring confession from him. He
committed the fogery, and as an evi.
dence of the truth OF his confession he
had over 500 in cold cash in his
possession. The officer relieved him
of his cash, made deposit in the
bank aud gave m receipt for the
same.
In answer to telegram the young
mans father telegraphed that he
would arrive on the earliest train pos
sible.
THE DEED.
Young Mears recently became fas.
cnated with woman by the name ol

left Asheville and went to Baltimore
presumably in company with her
While there he was induced to forge
checks on his fathers account to the
amount of 1925, as a means of getting
spending money. His scheme worked
only too well, and the troublesome
money was forthcoming.

his troubles easy, and walked arounC
