He Forged Checks in Order to Raise
Margins for Speculation
Atlanta, Ga, July 14.-Chas. II. Crane,
theyoung man who did the high roller act
here for sometime and concluded his ca
reer by skipping out with $1,000 in forged
checks to his account, was brought back
from Cincinnati this morning, where he
was captured through information furn-
ished by two young men who were his
friends as long as he had "a dollar bnt
gave him up to the law when the last Of
his cash was spent. Crane occupied an
Office in the Equitable building for quite %
while, his visible occupation being that Of
real estate dealer He is well
connected, his father-in-law, DR..
Allensworth, whose check he forged for
81 400, being well OFF The accused con-
fessed the forgeries as soon as arrested.
He is another victim of the bucket shop
speculation. Chicago gas stock and pork
were his ruin. He was always on the
wrong side Of the market, but went
deeper and deeper in the hope of retriev-
ing his bad luck. His home, a pretty cot
tage on Lloyd street, was sacrificed to
raise funds to put up on mar
gins, and finally he forged the
81 400 check on his father-in-law,
together with others, making So 600.
He wanted TO be a hig hroller. He not
only played the stock market and bet on
Atlanta's ball club, losing of course but
affected many fancy airs in the way of
dress and smart turnouts. He now begs
for money and says helldo better if given
the chance.

Wright, who is to become the wife Of
Gen. Ezeta, brother of the president Of

of Georgia, and will make very pretty
bride. She is of the blonde type, tall
with large blue eyes and a willowy
figure very seldom seen in tropical
countries. At present Miss Wright

ours next year. The incumbent is very
much feared, and it is thought that he
will use all his influence TO elect his
brother, although popular opinion is
against the family.

able headway before the de-
partment reached the scene.
The Times newspaper building being

of the flames. During the fire an electric
wire broke and one end of it fell upon
Stephen Lucy, who was watching the
flames. He was unconscious for an hour,
but his physicians think he may recover.

TO give an estimate of the loss. Twenty
five thousand dollars, however, it is esti-
mated, will cover the loss on the building

which will not cover their loss by about
81, 600.

his stock.
